I start seeing these little spots floating around whenever I haven't eaten anything for a while—plus, if I’m feeling wiped out or haven't caught enough sleep. When that happens, they get super intense.

Yeah, same here. Honestly, it's pretty hilarious.
Honestly, people just don't get how much this thing has spread. Like, the WHO is estimating that around 500 million people out there are dealing with some form of hepatitis. And they’re even projecting that by 2010, hepatitis C could end up claiming more lives than AIDS. It really makes you stop and think...
Alex White36 said:Seriously though, what is actually going on here? There must be thousands upon thousands of people dealing with this exact same thing, yet nobody seems willing to open up and talk about it with their own community... It’s honestly wild how much we all just stay silent about stuff like this.
It’s the same story for me when it comes to hepatitis B. Everyone just keeps their mouth shut.
So I headed over to the specialist clinic in San Diego to see my pulmonologist—just a routine checkup and some lung imaging. I actually called them up around 2 PM, and get this, they squeezed me in that same day at 6 PM. They scanned my lungs (the results were ready in like three minutes flat) and the doctor was honestly just so incredibly kind. Top-tier service, really. It ended up costing me $100, but honestly? Totally worth it because I actually felt treated like a human being, which is more than I can say for my experience at the big municipal hospital.
p.s. And don't even get me started on comparing that to the pulmonology department over at the main city hospital under Dr. Miller (who is a total unprofessional nightmare). You sit there for four hours in a waiting room packed with viruses, and then you don't even get seen because Dr. Miller is supposedly "too busy" for anyone. To top it all off, she actually called my house just to push my appointment back by four days. Like, seriously? After that, I'm done—I’m going private from now on.
