there is something I have to say. I have Hepatitis C. I got it from a
blood transfusion at birth. I have endstage chirrossis. I like to be
straight with people and I hate to lie, so I am letting everyone know.
If you dont know what it is or want to know more about it feel free to
ask me.

I do ask that if you dont like the fact I have Hep C, or if it offends
you for some reason, all I ask is that you do not send mean hateful
messages. If you dont like me because of the Hep C, then just dont talk
to me. There is no reason to be hateful. I respect everyones decision
and I do not blame anyone who would rather not talk to me. That is your
choice and I respect it, tho I must tell you that I am more than just a
person with a desease, and youll be missing out on having a good friend
if you just judge me by my illness. But anyways thats what I wanted to
say.

To those who dont mind me having an Illness I say thank you, and that I
hope we can become friends.

What does it matter? This is a place for making friends maybe
more.Welcome Stephy and Good Luck :)

hi steph, hang in there, we will do everything possible to make you
laugh and enjoy being here.

it don't know somewhat care.my soulmate sofar would say NO THREESOME!so

Hi Stephycats: Welcome if anything you will find friends because
everyone is going through or has something, I don't care who they
are....NOONE is perfect. Take courage you've got a friend in me.

Welcome to JSH. There are alot of people in this world and manny of them
are sick. Even the sick ones need friends too. Most of the people that
you may type to online will never meet you in person anyhow. That
doesn't mean they cannot be your friends. If they are close to you
online and you should pass away it will not hurt them any less. In fact
it may actually hurt them more considering they might have wanted to
know you in the first person. I don't think your illness should effect
your abuility to have friends here. Friendships can grow to be more then
friends at any time.

Thank you all your so sweet. As you probably guessed I have had mean
email, letters, phone calls, threats, ect. So I hope you understand why
I was nervous. I live with my parents because I am to sick to live
alone, and we were harrassed so much we had to move, and I had to drop
out of school when I was 16 when I found out I was sick. So you probably
understand why I am catious.

Wow thank you all, your so kind. And know you all have a friend in me.

stephy---ya are amongst with friends--hangout with us and ya will have a
blast!!

I realize so far that most of you are very kind people who I hope to
become good friends with!

Gurl its all good, if anyone has an issue then it shows their ignorance
and idiocy..piss on em... Welcome to the site :)

Stephy, a person who wants to be a friend is just that. So if you want
you have a friend in me.

welcome Stephy... yep we all have some kind of something .. but good
thing is.. we can all be friends here. no matter what // so WELCOME

Hey Stephy, some ppl are just plain rude anyway. My g/f had a Hep C
scare last year. She used to work in nursing homes back in the day when
latex gloves weren't used when handling patients. She was so bummed out
cuz she was afraid if she had it, I would be infected too. Told her, oh
well, if I got it, at least we're together and she wouldn't have to
worry about being "careful" with me. The good news...they buggered up
her blood test but it still wouldn't have changed the way I feel about
her :-)

Hey girl don't worry about it friends are friends they don't judge due
to an illness my gawd even if you had aids it would not matter to me
your very honest that takes a very brave person to be that way. Hummm
see you expected harsh words instead you have received nothing but
kindness. Smile someone loves ya :)

Welcome to the site girl!!

*googles HepC*

Ok now I know what it is....

Personnally I do not think its anyones business that you have it...
Unless you plan on dating that person or being with that person. People
on here are mostly going to be friends with you on line.

We, I am sure, thank you for being so honest. But I am not sure that it
was needed to be posted on the forum.

I hope you have a great time here with the gang... and welcome.... *S*

Unconditional Friendship - We and they love you as you are, so be you
and be happy..... Its a pleasure meeting you,,,
(((Hugs)))) Stephy :)

sephy, welcome to just say hi and I know that you will make alot of
friends here.

It just shows how honest you are is how easier it is to make friends,
look at all of them you have made already!


And I would be honored to be your friend

My "unofficially adopted son" has hep C, doesn't affect how I feel about
him. He hit the strests at 14 from a dysfunctional family and raised
himself on the streets. Probably picked it up there. Doesn't make a
difference as to how I feel about him or you.

There are a lot of great people on this site, welcome.

I would be happy to be your friend.
