Dennis Told How to Catch Hepatitis C
Here's an odd little video calling attention to World Hepatitis Awarness Day on October 1. In the video, a stick figure character named Dennis is given advice on how to catch Hepatitis C. Hmm. Makes you want to wrap yourself with impervious plastic wrap and just separate yourself from the human race for the rest of your life. The video's message? Get tested.

I found the message heartening. There are so many walking around that don't know they have HCV. I was one of them. I was complaining of fatigue and my enzimes were in the 200's. My Family Doc suggested it was my beer intake. I honestly told him I drank 4 beers a day after work. Well He finally tested me and Yep, I have HCV and Cirrhosis. I figured it was due to a few bad choices I made in the early 70's. I tested positive in 2004! I did treatment for 48 weeks and am SVR. Sustain Viral Response. My enzimes are now in the low 30/20's. I feel so much better now.
