Hepatitis C Virus Damages Brain Cells

Hi All,
I just wanted to share this article and the link to the blog on which it was originally posted. I haven't done a thorough reading yet but from what I've seen it appears to be well written, organized and full of information and resources.

Greetings and Salutations

I have recently discovered the world of blogging as a way for me to continue to support and educate survivors of abuse, addiction and depression. As a jobless Social Worker/Advocate, I felt the need to continue my work in whatever way I could.
This period of unemployment serendipitously led me down a new path in my own healing process-I decided it was time to try treatment for my Hep C.

I am 51 years old, and have probably had the virus for 25 to 30 years. I contracted the virus through intravenous drug use as did many of my peers.
I felt fine until about a year ago when chronic fatigue, stomach pain. loss of appetite and "fuzzy thinking" began to interfere with my ability to work.
I hope my experiences can be of some support or provide some personal information for those on treatment or considering treatment.

Thank you for visiting my site!
Jenny
