Hi all. As part of a conference application for the middle of year, I have promised to put together a collection/collation of hepster stories, jokes, black humour, heart and soul, one liners, art, or poetry, media links- along the the theme of, ‘I am here to tell you how it feels’.
Please help! email me any thing at all that occurs to you. There is no time, I will be pasting it together with some assistance. healhazel@gmail.com
Note:
*I will not identify anyone unless they expressly ask to be named, tell me what you would like as a credit, eg, funny joke from MG, USA, or whatever. If you want to send me someone else’s great post you remember, do, try ask them yourself or I will just make it anonymous anyway. You can find past gems by a keyword or 2 in the search function top right. Just note the post number, or paste it to me or open it and send me the link.
*I won’t be able to include everything, please understand, I will try, I am asking in several places.
* I need it finished by end of May and it is not really started! It is to go on display at the No Hep Village at next hep summit.
* I just plan to print a couple of copies, put together like a photo book, then will put it up online for everyone sometime this year.I want to report on, for instance- What stigma, fear, relief, hope, etc feels like, in medical setting, family, personal, workplace. What a difference support on this forum has made. How the whole global transnational friendship helps- or not, what ever, tell me anything.
Thanks,
Hazel

That’s a very nice and challenging idea, I will make some thoughts about what to send you (there are so many things to tell and it will be difficult to summarize it ).
Cheers,

tbh I’m not comfortable with this. I wrote on the forum under the assumption that my comments weren’t going anywhere else. Please don’t quote any of my posts regardless of whether or not you identify me.

Cured baby27 March 2018 at 12:48 pm #27702Thank you for your post Beaches.
I also state: No person has my permission to use anything that Ariel has blogged outside this forum in any format.
This forum is a place where we have created a safe haven for those who need tx and each person is different in their journey.
As to my dear friend who has recently passed over I can ask his surviving family member their position on this request. In the meantime I was asked by him to act on his behalf and ask that all here respect him and do not use GAJ words even anonymously. The approval if that was to happen would need to come from the family.
Thank you for continuing to try to spread the message of the HCV cure however please respect my privacy as I am of the same feeling as Beaches. I’m not comfortable with it.
Ariel27 March 2018 at 1:32 pm #27703Hi everyone
Hazel, rohcvfighter, beaches, Ariel
My words are personal, they are an account and response to a journey through very difficult times. I can’t imagine how my words will articulate the struggle outside of the context created within the forum. I am an artist, my words are poetic. I have struggled throughout this journey and have been supported by my friends in the forum. I am very appreciative of the meds provided to me through FixHepC and have shown support in return. HepC is serious, there are no jokes or black humour stories for me. It is deadly serious. I am not just an anonymous name. I request that you not do search my name and story to relate it outside of the forum. Let’s not trivialise this in a photo book journey. Searchers can read the stories online as it available to the public. X

If you want to send me someone else’s great post you remember, do, try ask them yourself or I will just make it anonymous anyway.My understanding from Hazel’s post was that in fact she is inviting us to send her something that is/was related to our own personal experience and then to let her know if we really want our names to be published too (otherwise it will be kept anonymous).
In addition to this, in case someone would be thinking to send to Hazel a post written by somebody else, that someone is invited to ask the permission from that somebody, yet as a safety measure in lack of such permission, the post would be made anonymous by Hazel. As this could be quite tricky, @Hazel: may I suggest that in case no explicit consent is given by the person who wrote the post, such post should not be used, even if it would be made anonymous?Cheers,

SVR52 achieved27 March 2018 at 11:13 pm #27707Hi all,
I see your concerns, of course I would not use your words or posts without you offering them up, or wanting them included. There is really no need to tell me that I can’t use posts, I simply wouldn’t, and won’t. I am not intending to trivialise anything- quite the opposite, my intention is to convey the depth of experience.
I am involved in several forums, this is the only public one, where anything said is viewable by any person, anywhere, forever. Despite this, I will, and always intended to, treat it as a closed group. Relax! nothing about you without you. Thanks Rohcfighter for your interest. Your contribution will be highly valued.

28 March 2018 at 12:40 am #27708No worries, Hazel!
Just wanted to clarify as simply as I could and make sure you understood.
I wish you good luck with your submission.
