Hepatitis C after tattoo or pancreatitis ? Posted: 12-14-07 12:33pm
I am one of those old skool former wild
childs that got a tattoo when I turned
16...which was like 20 yrs ago.
Obviously there were no sterilization laws
in order for tattoo shops back then and
alot of people with old tattoos have
turned up with HepC.
How often does this happen? What are the
signs/symptoms I could look for?
Ive noticed ALOT of pain in my right side
that has been on and off for years now.
Once they thought it was pancreatitis, but
now im skeptical that it may be my liver
this whole time instead.

to all who think they may have hepatitis
,ive just finished treatment 6 moneths ago
for hep c . und after 12 weeks going next
week to see if treatment has worked .
fingers crossed ive been through hell.
with treatment .i contracted hep c after a
tattoo not the needle the ink was infected
20 years ive lived with this. but there is
a bright side you can get rid of hep c it
just takes lots of stamina.
