HepC

I completed interfuron treaments about 6 years ago. Treatments were successful but I never got my energy back. I sleep approx 12 hrs a day, sometimes up to 17 hrs, and then remain tired for most of the day. Sometimes I feel relatively good but it is short lived. It is having a serious effect on my life. I left my job 2 years ago because I was burned out and really stuggled to make it to work every day. I thought time off would rejuvinate me but I was wrong. People that know my condition say I sleep too much and that is the reason I am always tired.

I would like to know if what I am dealing with is normal and is there anything I can do to get my energy back. I could not work right now if I wanted to. Please help.

     Right now I feel like a test subject for my MD. Seriously thinking about going back       to the specialty clinic that treated me. Hope someone else comes forward with the same problem or anyone that has beat the fatigue problem.

I completed treatment 6 yrs. ago same problems, severe fatigue, pain, nausea, just plain feel bad . Quit work, 57 trs. 1B nonresponder 46 weeks trmt. only seeing general M.D. for side effects. I haven;t seen a specialist in years. There is nothing for me. I am so glad to hear from someone almost identical. I thought I might be crazy.Please if there are any other like us out there,which I am sure there is. Please post. Sleep is a must.I am so looking for some answers for the severe fatigue,and side effects this many years post trmt.
