Hep C, carpal tunnel, fibromyalgia, other problems

by shiningstar, Aug 25, 2001 12:00AM
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.
