Hi I am new to this web board so I thought I would introduce myself. My
name is Melissa "Renee" (i go by my middle name) and I live in Texas,
but I am from Florida originally. I tested positive for hepatitis c
about 6-7 years ago but have been sort of in denial about it since then
and have never followed up on any other kind of tests or anything.
Recently a physical showed up my Liver enzymes?? were high and my
doctor wanted me to have some lab work done which I didn't do. I don't
really know why but I just cant seem to get myself to deal with this,
and I keep finding reasons why I should just keep avoiding it. I found
this websight by searching for hepatitis c and texas. I thought it
would be nice to talk to others who have hepatitis c and learn more
about it. When I fiirst found out I had it years ago I went to web md
and made some friends there but then I just got scared and quit having
anythign at all to do with anything or anyone who had anythign to do
with hepatitis. I guess I am pretty good at denial. Anyways if any of
you have some advice for me it would be greatly appreciated. ALso if
there is an active chat here or elsewhere I would love to know about it
so that I could talk to others who know about hepatits c.
Thank you
~Renee
