A bad time
In 2001, I was informed that I have Hepatitis C. I really don’t know what to expect anymore. My doctors told it is possible that I could have contracted this liver disease while in the Navy, but no one can be sure, when I contracted this virus. There are a few treatment programs for this virus and I start on one. This treatment is not successful. This medicine affects the immune system by super charging it to combat the virus, but the overall effect of the treatment lowers you white and red blood cell counts, because our immune systems are not accustomed to working in this boosted state. As my life becomes more and more depressing during this time, I am beginning to lose some hope that I can have any enjoyment living anymore. Do not take that statement the wrong way, as I still around to write about all this and intend to continue. It was a low part of my recovery and I wonder how many others would have felt any different then I during this down period.
