My fight against Hepatitis C
Hi everybody, my name is Julie. This is not an easy thing to do for me. Many of you know me either personally or on social media.
Perhaps you do not know however, that I am fighting Lupus and Hepatitis C. I am about to start a pretty harsh treatment to try and rid my body of Hep C. Because I have Lupus and already experince fatigue, weakness, and chronic pain, it will be especially difficult taking the medication for Hepititis. The medications side effects cause even more of those often dibilitating symptoms.
I am a very hard worker, motivated, and incredibly driven. If I had the choice I would just keep working over the three months of treatment and no one would be the wiser.
The donations will help me pay for medication,lab fees,food, and general cost of living for 12 weeks until I can return to work.
I want to thank each and everyone of you for anything that you can donate.
*I have tried twice with insurance over 19 months and was denied for "only being in liver failure stage 1". I'm on attempt number 3 with a new insurance.
Thank you,
Julie Ernes
