Hepatitis C Neuropathy

Has anyone experienced HCV neuropathy before TX and does TX resolve it? Does it go away completely or are there residual effects that never go away?

Thanks.

before TX had neuropathy mostly in my left arm very painful at times 2 weeks into TX it went away and has not returned .Finished 48 wks of TX 2 yrs ago had relasped within 90 days post TX. Have had hep C for more than 35 yrs now waiting for the new drugs. So for me it helped but I see many that it makes worse. toss of the dice  Also had Cryo before and during TX but now test negative ,strange

I have had a mild form of neuropathy that was probably caused by the HCV BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO PROVE IT. I still have a mild form of it and I am SVR for 18 months now.
  Most of the time I don't even notice it. Occasionally it will bother me when I am laying down. But that seems to be 2 or 3 days a month.
