HepCBoy’s Hepatitis C Rules
Martin has some excellect “rules” at his site, well worth a read.
Let me chip a few of my own in over the next few weeks.
Rule 1
A very dear friend of mine, who has had a lot of experience of chronic illness in his family over the years, hammered away at me with this until I understood exactly what he meant.
Rule 1 is simple, get your affairs in order before you start treatment.
Simple things that you do now will allow you to fully concentrate on your treatment, after all the hepatitis virus doesn’t kill itself, you need to focus on it fully.
Stuff like paying up your bills, up front if you have the finance or setting up direct debits if you don’t. If you will need financial help during treatment get on the web and see what is available, get down the citizens advice or similar organisations. Get it done now.
Get used to ordering stuff online and have it delivered, most of the major supermarket chains offer home delivery, and there really isn’t anything you can’t buy on the web nowdays. Get it done now.
Most of all get off your backside and get organised, your backside will get plenty of rest once you are on treatment.
