kind of stuck

I was diagnosed with hep c @ 8yrs ago, genotype 1b, and suspect I caught it twenty years ago.  My liver enzymes remain fairly normal, a biopsy showed "slight changes consistent with hepatitis c". My differential shows pretty consistent monocytosis; is this common in hep c?  Also, I have chronic fatigue symptoms, major depression and intermtittent diarrhea/gastro-intestinal problems.  My doctor says it's not likely that either the monocytosis or my symptoms are related to hep c, since "no one gets symptoms 'til end stage cirrhosis."
Your thoughts?
Thank you,
