Hi,

Thanks for writing in.
Tingling numbness in the extremities is commonly experienced by patients on interferon therapy. It is very likely that you may be receiving interferons as part of treatment of hepatitis C.
The tingling numbness due to interferons disappears once the therapy is over.
Hope this answers your question.
