Hep C, carpal tunnel, fibromyalgia, other problems

Last blood test showed Hep C, family doctor referred me to a specialist. The past two years I have had several other health problems, am wondering if Hep C is causing them. Have ulcers,carpal tunnel, fibromyalgia, bursitis, tendenitis, and bone spurs on spine. Also had Hep A and B in the past. I am always in pain and can't get through the day without pain med. I am worried about Hep C and liver cancer. 20 years ago, liver biopsy showed scarring. Doctor told me if I drank I would be dead in five years. I haven't drank or did drugs in over 25 years. I would like to know if anyone else has problems like mine with Hep C. My doctor asked me if I have injected any drugs or fit into the risk catogory. I said no I don't do drugs, don't drink, ect. I did not realize until recently that Hep C stays dormat for years. My drug use over 32 years ago is going to affect me now.
