I recently discovered I have Hepatitis C, but sort of by accident. I went in for a checkup because I’d lost 39 pounds over the last year, so I figured something was off. They did some blood tests but never told me the results. So, I went back and asked to see them. I noticed that my liver enzymes were almost double [what they said was the norm]. I thought something must be wrong, so I went to the medical open house and asked the LPN to help me understand them. She told me I may want to get my labs redone. So, I did and this time it showed I have Hep C! If I hadn’t followed up on my own, who knows when it would have been discovered. (I still haven’t been seen again or been given any treatment.)
