All About Newly diagnosed with Hepatitis C?

Even though Hep C is curable, one should not be too callous towards its treatment as it would lead to complications.

However, there is no need to panic. Take a deep breath, follow these guidelines and you are well on your way back to good health.

1. Find a good doctor who is best in the field and with whom you can share a good rapport. Someone who is there to answer all your questions and soothe your nerves.


2. Surround yourself with positivity. Your friends or family members who can uplift your mood and constantly motivate you to fight through this phase.


3. Unfortunately, there is a social stigma attached to Hep C which may deter you from sharing your illness with others. It’s perfectly understandable. There are many support groups where people affected by Hep C come together and conquer this battle. You may connect with them virtually through blogs and communities.


4. It’s imperative to get the facts right. There is a lot of information available that can assist you in knowing your illness better.


5. Daily exercise and healthy diet are important. Since Hep C affects liver, one should stop consumption of alcohol.


6. Hepatitis C is transmitted through blood and not by any other means.

Keep yourself well informed, stay calm and positive. The battle is won.
