I really appreciate these videos…and all the education that is going toward these illnesses.

[@karenharris722]

I was diagnosed with PCT back in 1995. It's been 'downward' ever since because of my being so chemically sensitive along with it. Had yet another doctor tell me today that I'm delusional!!

Man. I wish someone had taught me how to study like this. School was always so easy I never had to study. Then I went to college and struggled so much. Killed my confidence and never finished. 😞

The video left me wondering if one could contract Hippo-titis C from a dirty Hippo-pot-amiss, and if a genetic anomaly originated way back in the times of Turdidactyls. That leads me to believe that there would be little need for a pot had quadrupeds not evolved to bipeds. Dogs have it so much easier when feeling the need to drop one.

[@ioanadaina60]

What is the long-term cure for this disease

[@ZGIRL5150]

As someone who has recently been diagnosed with this and I have the high iron causing one I will have to get phlebotomy at minimum once every six months in the future. I have finally lowered my iron levels from 900 about 6 months ago to less than 100 after 3 times of phlebotomy (once a month for 3 months). They are having me do it again twice once every three months then will see me again to make sure my iron has lowered enough. They also suggest that you don't go into the sun as it does cause the issues on exposed skin. But it does depend on the person and their personal journey.
