I found out i had hep c with a high viral load and was devastated and worried sick about how I would tell my family but they were marvellous. I got as much information as I could and contacted the Hep c charity who have a helpline which is very supportive.This forum is great as you don't feel alone with the problem.The treatment was not too bad ,I carried on working and made sure I had a healthy diet and lots of sleep.The worst thing was the lack of energy ,I was told by my consultant that ribavarin caused this,I was quite breathless after walking uphill or upstairs ,even though i am usually very fit.It also affected my immune system ,however I recovered very quickly and still managed to lead a normal life,Got out walking in the fresh air,and spent time planning what to do once this had been cleared.I would advise anyone out there that is worried about starting treatment to just go for it ,the thought is always worse than the doing.Treatments are improving week by week and are very affective.I was very lucky to have a good consultant ,and a supportive family,eat healthy ,gentle exercise,lots of rest and look forward to the future without Hep c.Best of luck to all .

Hi there i too was diagnosed with hep c about a year and a half ago. I just started taking mavyret 5 weeks ago. Until recently i felt scared because of the unknown. I told my mom and it was hard. Now that she understands its treatable..she has been loving and supportive no matter what. At times it feels hard..but God has control of everything..
