Okay,this is actually a few questions.
First,I'm wondering exactly what is it that hepititas C does to a person?I know you get it from sharing heroin needles,but I want to understand what the disease does.
Second,I have a friend,really close friend who I care about,and he's been having trouble with sleepwalking,except,it's not really just sleepwalking,it more like sleep-cutting himself.I want to know what might be causing this and how to stop it before it gets any worse.
Third is my other friend,she isn't really having issues,but lately she's been having these "visions". Something about a dark figure with red eyes laughing at her and flashbacks of random stuff. I'm worried that these might be happening due to her grandmother passing away recently,or a leftover effect from her nightmares. I don't know,I'm just really worried.....
