Hi Serb,

I think I understand, as I also found that having hep c encouraged
me to live a healthy lifestyle.

But I’ve found, since getting hep free, I can still do this.

Try helping others with the virus, or even just those in need, this helps you to remember to look after yourself as well.

I used to party quite a lot before I knew I had the virus, drinking quite a bit, not really looking after myself, but when I was told I had the virus, my lifestyle changed dramatically, almost as if the hep did me good
Because I was suddenly living very healthy. No drinking, good food, lots of exercise.

But you can still do this when free of the dragon, and getting involved in helping others to live a more healthy lifestyle and to get cured, would help you look after yourself as well.

Just saying, well it works for me anyway.
I also enjoy it.

Love Cindi x

That’s very interesting!
It sure makes you think twice about drinking alcohol doesn’t it!

Also it says that tobacco smoking contains more than 100 potential carcinogenics that may affect liver..yuck hmy:

I used to do both but gave up about 20 years ago, thank goodness, & don’t think I’d start again. I think anyone reading that article may think to do the same!!

It seems to be proven that alcohol intake is associated with HCC development in patients who SVR, so probably we should all try to not drink, or only a tiny bit?

I think it’s just common sense that after having such a toxic virus in our bodies for so long, living a healthy lifestyle is the best thing to do.

You can still have fun without alcohol.

Something positive though I saw there in that article was that people with cirrhotic livers, post tx, 60% had cirrhosis regression, so how goods that, a great incentive to live the healthy life
