Most of us can relax a little bit. This is not an automatic death sentence. Their are medications available that may help with your condition. Fortunately, in most cases, hep c progresses very slowly, and we have time to deal with it.  In some instances they find it after it has progressed to a point where a liver transplant is necessary.   Many people undergo liver transplants each year and many of them go on to lead fruitful and productive lives.  Many people die WITH this disease and not from it.   Leading a healthy lifestyle and eating properly and avoiding stress on your liver are all things which will help you to feel better and help your body defend itself against disease.

The most important thing with this disease is DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL, EVEN BEER!   And DO NOT MIX TYLENOL WITH ALCOHOL, OR USE EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF TYLENOL.
For some, an occasional beer or glass of wine is acceptable, but it would be wise to know what condition your liver is in before drinking adult beverages.
