Immune System

Hi I have been succesful after hep c treatment and been 2 years off.  Since the treatment my immune system seems so low  when I catch a cold I get so fatigued that I have to lay in bed for 2 days.  This is very unlike me I worked everyday through my treatment and love my work outs at the gym.  I am very worried that I have chronic fatigue syndrome.  I am taking herbal remedies to build up my immune system but it does not feel strong enough.  Please can someone give me advice or are there other people that feel the same?

Hi Jules,

I am glad you experienced SVR.

I too have been off tx for 2yrs although I relasped at the 4 month mark post tx so I may have a little extra affecting my immune system than yours.

I have experienced the same thing about recovering from a cold or for that matter any negative medical condition. I think when a fight is going on in my body that it leads to fatigue.

Concerning the remedy, I don't have a definative answer or suggestion but I have learned that diet plays an extremely important role as well as exercise. I try to walk every morning. The distance varies but it does help.

Others here will probably have some better suggestions.

Good luck (that helps a lot as well),


Alan
