Awaiting Results

Posted , 3 users are following.

I am awaiting my blood results after being tested last friday. I had a blood transfusion after the birth of my 1st child in 1989. My skin sometimes has shown a tincture of yellow and i have funny little pin prick like blood spots on my arms. I have never used any illegal drugs and am not judging anyone who has, everyone has a reason for doing what they do in life and i am no-one to stand in judgement. I am just terrified at this moment in time until i know my results. sad :cry:

    How did they discover you had Hep C, have you been suffering with something for a while? smile

    I have recently been rehoused following domestic violence and been very stressed. I put all my feelings of being unwell down to stress. Then I was listening to the radio one day and an advert came on about hep b/c screening so i decided to ring the helpline. They asked me a series of questions then asked if i had ever had a blood transfusion prior to 1991. I did have a blood transfusion in 1989 after a traumatic birth and a large blood loss. I was very scared at the tiime as it was everywhere in the media about HIV. I was also suffering severe post-natal depression so they put my fears of having a transfusion down as paranoia from post-natal depression.
