Hi Josh, I had Hep C for over 40 years and what I've noticed and found out since being undetected for around 16 weeks now is how depressed I really was. It seemed to me like I had relatively no sides from the Hep except for the neuropathy but looking back I can see how messed up I was. I guess I was in denial for a long time and waited until I started having problems I could not deny before seeking treatment. Now, those problems may not be reversible. Do the paperwork! Please.

Thanks for the update, Josh, and good luck with getting that paperwork filled in ASAP!
It`s great that you`re keeping busy and doing something so worthwhile for the disabled as well as your dad, you`re obviously a very giving and caring person.
You`re not managing to get a lot of sleep so do be a bit careful not to overdo things, remember you have to take care of your own health too, and you`re right that it`s not good for you in the long term.
Best of luck with getting your approval for Harvoni, it`s an amazing treatment!
Take care, and let us know how it goes!

Hi Josh,
Good to hear from you. Glad you're keeping busy, even though burning the candle at both ends, following all of your own health issues and those you're caring for daily, can have a way of catching up to you. Don't wear yourself out or you might find it difficult to continue. I appreciate and respect what you're doing for the disabled. Good job!
I hope you get that paperwork sent in sooner than later. The whole HCV thing might seem like a "meh" situation right now, but there are those waiting on a transplant or worse right now that wish they had the chance to switch places with you. Don't delay any longer than you absolutely must.
Stay in touch and don't forget to take care of #1...
