You know how I found out I had this was when I started taking birth control pills because I had very bad monthly cramps. The doctor said it would greatly relieve my cramps. Well about 2 months after taking the BC pills I got very very sick, turned yellow, pee was brown, vomiting, etc. Went to another doctor and he told me to stop the BC pills because they attacked my liver. Thats when I found out I had HepC, otherwise I might not have ever known it. But that was another lesson learned.....BC pills will kill ya!
