Me & Hep C

Hi everyone! My name's Maria, I'm English, 41 years old, & single. I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C on Monday 4th September 2006 - a dreadful experience which I will write further about in a posting. I currently live in Germany, but am planning to return permenantly to the UK at the beginning of October 2006. This is my diary of my life with Hepatitis C.

Name: Maria

Location: Telford (originally Hochheim in Germany), Shropshire, United Kingdom

What didn't I say in my introduction??? I've got 2 daughters, Natasha 18 & Naomi 16, who are the best things that ever happened to me & whom I'm unashamedly proud of. I'm also blessed to have 2 wonderfully caring parents, & 2 of the best sisters you could ever wish for (one of whom is actually my niece, but more like a sister, as there's only 11 years between us). I qualified as a registered general nurse in 1986 & worked as a staff nurse in general medicine, surgery & rehabilitation for 10 years. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in 1991, not even a year after Naomi was born & in 1996, it got so bad, that I had to give up nursing & retrain. Since then, I've worked in administration of one kind or another.
