Body Pain

What is the deal with overall body pain.  My husband has severe pain in his joints and leg bones especially and we can't seem to get a diagnosis from any doctor that we've seen and most feel it is not related to his Hep C?

Hey Carol, try googling for 'Muscle fatigue Hep C' there's a lot of sites out there about this sort of thing. Then you can go back to the doctor armed with some information that you feel fits with your situation.
You may have to hunt a bit, it's a common complaint..can I say 'with us'?
Driving in the car I find the worst. When the ache gets really bad my body will just shut down into sleep.


Sorry to hear it's no better on the meds Deb.

Has he had a CBC done?  Is he treating for HCV?  It could be his red or white cells are low.  Both are made in the big bones especially the femurs,  they try and work harder and it causes pain.

I have found  even with neupogen and or procrit, I still  have it.  


Good luck

Deb
