Doctor ???

I am in Brookings Oregon.  About 5 – 6 years ago I went to give blood and was later told they were not able to accept my blood donation because it tested positive for Hepatitis C.  I went to my local family doctor and was told to not worry about it as lots of people have hepatitis and never have complications.  About a year ago I went back to him because I feeling fatigued and just not normal.  When he did not find anything wrong I asked again about the hepatitis C (keep in mind I knew nothing about the disease then) and I had to remind him of our discussion a few years back.  He did not recollect the discussion but was seriously concerned and told me many people end up with liver infectious and possibly could be fatal.  I went through the blood test and the meantime began reading about the disease.  The result was that it was positive and had a count of 19,000,000 whatever.  At the time there was some changes going on in my life and chose to ignore the problem.  I have continued to live a normal live since.

Now the fatigue is getting worst and I think I may have no choice to get it taken care of.  I have little trust in my local doctor for serious medical advice.  Medford, Grants Pass, Coos Bay or Roseburg are the closest medical communities.  Does anyone have any suggestion on where to go or someone in southern Oregon I can contact to ask?
