"I would suggest to any military person that went through the gauntlet of jet injection for immunization should be checked for Hep-C."
Good advice !
I'm from that era, have Hep-C, no transfusions, just dental and the gauntlet while I was in, always wondered it wasn't related, even at the time it seemed like a great way to spread blood borne diseases.
A friend mine was found to have Hep-C 3 years ago. She had a gastly treatment that was some sort of chemo for a year and a half. She lost weight and looked like a skeleton, her skin wrinkled up and she felt absolutely horrible during the entire year and a half.
Finally she was told she was over it and now a year or so later you would never know how bad it was, she is cured!
