Hi Nancy; welcome to the discussion group. Here’s a link to a page with many of the acronyms used in here:

Chronic HCV (Hep C) is generally an asymptomatic disease, although many people often mention dealing with fatigue. There are also some conditions that are strongly associated with HCV such as cryoglobulanemia, and to a lesser degree autoimmune issues like sjogren’s, lupus, etc.
A heightened awareness or discomfort in the upper-right quadrant of the abdomen is also noted occasionally.
Have you had a recent biopsy? Are you aware of the specific genotype, or strain of HCV you have?
Good luck and take care-
