Here is what I want to ask you GI.PA
I was told by doctor last week that I have Hep C. I go to GI Friday for first time. I looked on web sites like cdc and thank god I found this one, Godd Bless You All I don't know how bad mine is but think I need tx. My HCVRNA PCR was just over 3 million counts. I had a sonagram Doc said the report looked good no diliated intraheptic ducts were seen, gall ballder free of calculi polys and slude. The kidneys looked normal also. However it did say boderline hepatomegaly.
BLOOD TEST #1
PROTIEN,TOTAL 8.9 ALBUMIN 4.7 GLOBULIN,CALULATED 4.2 A/G RATIO 1.1 BILIRUBIN,TOTAL 0.4 BILIRUBIN,DIRECT 0.1 AST 107

BLOOD TEsT #2
HCV RNA,PCR, QT (UIU/ML 1,160,000

What I’m wondering since finding found out do we have more symptoms then we did before we found out. I mean other then being tired and nauseous intermitantly a day here a day there over the last 18 months or so. After I found out I seam to be tried everyday. And have slight gas. Discomfort in stomach . Is this anxiety? Also what can I do to sleep better at night wake up after 3 or 4 hours sleep and can’t go back to sleep since I found out.
