I was afraid that due to a seriously massive blood transfusion in the seventies... I may have contracted Hepatitis C... and passed it to my youngest Asperger Syndrome son... born six years later.

The implications of a test to find out were so bad for so long... I dare not go to find out... then Anita Roddick came out with her test recently... and sadly... her positive result... having had a transfusion at a similar time to me... long before screening in the UK... way before Hep C and HIV was known.

My ex feared for his job... our mortgage and our life insurances as well... should I pursue the test... so... I didn't.

My son was seriously ill with double pneumonia not long ago and it went to his liver... again... I beat myself up... was it my fault? Had I passed Hep C to him from unsceened blood... it can sit for decades in the system before affecting anyone.

My test results came back neagtive today... I am walking on a cloud... I'm free from guilt at last:-)

One of my friends who used Sports Socks in a hill area during winter described this experience. When he went out for a walk it was too cold. He returned to his cottage after an hour or so. After entering his cottage first he removed his shoes. Then when he wanted to change his socks by removing the socks which he was wearing, he was unable to, since the socks was sticking to his feet strongly, making it difficult for him to remove. Finally he removed it by cut opening the socks. Do you have a similar experience? Can you please explain why it is so?
