Diagnosed with Hep C - 21yrs ago..
I got a blood transfusion and figure that's how I contracted it.
No symtoms, so really surprised when I was told I had it.
Haven't really sought any treatment, just avoided alcohol, did a few liver flushes,
occasionally took some liver support herbs.
Monday I had some pain under my right breast. The area is also tender to the touch.
Thought it was related to my lungs as I've been battling a cold for a month.
Took 6 thousand mg of vit c. Next day the tenderness had spread, if I press right
and below breastbone I can feel it under breast.
Guess my first step sh/be go to a doc for positive diagnosis.
Three yrs ago I had liver enzimes(sp?) checked. Doc said they were slightly
elevated, if they were twice as high, he'd be worried. (think they were 40?)
Anyway sh I just go to a gastro doc?
(Would he be able to tell if it's a lung infection? Sheesh, I hate this.
I mean even if it's my lungs he'd still want to treat my hep c.)
Meanwhile I sh probably be taking milk thistle, any brands preferred?
Does colliodial silver really help?
Thanks for any input.
