 Hepatitis C
I got diagnosed with Hep C in July of 2007. I got flu like symptoms and went to a doctor who in turned sent me to the emergency room at a local hospital. I stayed there for 5 days and was treated for bacterial mennagitis, tick fever,and finally hep c. A few days later I found that I also had the West Nile Virus in my bloodwork. After talking to the Health Department and giving them my symptoms that landed me in the hospital, they seem to think that is what sent me to the hospital.
