Good luck,
There are plenty of musicians and celebrities that have HCV, there are
many that have had transplants due to HCV. From my observation they don't
openly speak out. They tend to be silent advocates. Nothing like Elton
John and HIV and the rest of Hollywood.
My petition was a full page editorial in Hepatitis mag as well as a follow
up interview. All I know that any of us can do, is continue to speak out
when we are given the chance.
You are aware they dropped this newsgroup as a source of Hepatitis
information?
My best to you and yours.
David

I suspect it was for the reason so many good people left here also; the
hijacking by the nefarious few. this is my first look back in a few months.
things appear to have settled down. maybe the magazine will also come back.
anon, for obvious reasons.

Don't forget Rod McKernen, known as Pigpen of the Grateful Dead. He
died circa 1972. Then there was Ken Keysey who died within the past
year.

I think Bobo the gorilla also died from liver failure due to hepc. He
was a needle freak and junkie if ever there was one. Thats why he layed
around all day picking fleas off his ass and dreaming of the good old
days in the jungle.

Naomi Judd is a role model to whom?
The only thing she has to say is "I'm CURED oh goody I am not a sicko any
more, wheee!".
Great "role model" for those of us living with the virus.
News flash: there is no "cure", she is in REMISSION. She tests with no viral
DNA found. Good for her. Call me in 20 years.

A role model to ME is someone surviving with the infection and actually
LIVING, not devoting life to being sick.
