What are the Signs & Symptoms of Hepatitis C?
Most people (about 70% – 80%) with an acute Hepatitis C infection do not experience any symptoms or show signs of the infection. If Hepatitis C symptoms do occur, they usually appear within two weeks to six months after being exposed to the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). If you do develop symptoms related to Hepatitis C, they’re generally mild and flu-like and may include:
Feeling very tired
Sore muscles
Joint pain
Fever
Nausea or poor appetite
Stomach pain
Itchy skin
Dark urine
A yellow discoloration of the skin and whites of the eyes, called jaundice.
However as the excerpt says most people (70 to80%) will have no symptoms.
Most of us who had chronic hep c had tiredness and that's about it except for those who also develop extra-hepatic symptoms. Examples are Cryoglobulinaemia, Glomerulonephritis and Porphyria Cutanea Tarda
Hope that helps
