I have to write about this, it's never gone until I put it on paper, but in the last few days I was taken out of most of the Facebook HCV Support groups, and the irony is no one had the decency nor the courage to confront me or explain if I had broken any rules
I am beginning to believe those that are administrators for such groups are on power trips and truly have no life outside of managing groups on Facebook .
I am not a conformist, never have been and will definitely never will be. I say how I feel. and I don't bologna anyone in regards to my feelings.
The last chat I was involved in was a woman complaining that now that she is cured she has separation anxiety from no longer having HCV. I chimed in, that I would not let my illness define me, and once I am cured , and the gate is now open I'd run like a horse out of the starting gate at a race track, I'd run like a Thoroughbred. I wouldn't want to look back, I'd want to live the life I've been missing for the past years.
Now, I don't know if that's it, I've been pleasant and supportive of everyone that is just beginning treatment and ending treatment. But, when you ban a person in the middle of treatment I just find that horrid, power hungry, and reprehensible .
Its like being asked to leave AA cause you drank or your Doc left you in the middle of surgery.
I was stigmatized with this disease before I joined online support groups, now I'm not allowed in any.
Such is Facebook verses real life I suppose. Its only a sign to me that it is time to move on and focus on whats next that God has in store for me.
I believe God has giving me a gift of life, and there is no time for me to hold animosity towards anyone, it would just add toxicity to my heart and sou.
When this is published I will never look back, for I truly know that they have more problems than HCV and the side effects of Harvoni, there are underlying issues and power trips, that they alone should be ashamed of. I can hold me head up and go on.
After all, it's only Facebook. . . .
If any one is interested in liking and joining my Face Book Page, called Cat & Harvoni, it's a virtual diary I write in each day showing how I'm managing on the Harvoni and any if at all side effects. It's been going now for 14 days I'm half way through my first month.
Thanks and don't take life and people so seriously there is something much greater for us all.
