Itching means HCV progressing?

I was diagnosed with HCV last year. Fibroscan showed F3 and Fibrotest F0. I have been having faqtgue on and off, but lately I started having this itching, which is not very intense but disturbing. Does it mean that my liver disease is progressing?

I have itching as well. It seems to run in flares. I had a biopsy 5 yrs ago and was F1-F2 so mine could be getting worse as well. I also have more fatique. I am now trying to get the solvaldi and olysio approved since I am not able to take interferon due to depression and rashes. I do not know for a fact it is from the hep but I sure believe it could be.
