It appears that you were never diagnosed with Fibromyalgia prior to treatment only afterwards so the trigger would not have been the Hepatitis therefore the main symptom for Fibromyalgia is over active nerves!
Having read that many patients are treated by a medication called Topamax which is a medication to treat Epliepsy. I have suffered with Epilepsy all my life and it is caused by over active nerves cells in the Brain.
Many people tried Lyrica but do not like the side affects, My Fiance has given up on them as she explained the side affects can be worse than the pain.
Savella created severe sweating for her, but having read Topamax is just affective as Lyrica with hardly any side affects she is going to see about giving it a go.
Good Luck
Hi
I posted this question under two topics the first
1: Hepatitis C
2: Fibromyalgia
I received a reply from one person stating that she suffered both and after her course of treatment has been cleared of the virus, and 6 months later has been in no pain since!
It just did not make sense to me that my Fiance's Fibromyalgia was only affecting her hips then once her Hepatitis woke up from the DEAD! the Fibromyalgia become more severe, this tells you Hepatitis is interferring and has a lot to do with it, as the blood is affected, the affected blood affects other parts of the body!
It is hard to predict so the only person that can tell you are patients that have been diagnosed with both and completed the treatment.
Maybe it could be a 70% chance that it will ease the symptoms of pain??
People suffering with Fibromyalgia but do not suffer with hepatitis has different triggers for it to Flare up from time to time,
the top reason for this is Over Active Nerves!
Hi, My condition is different but I treated the Hep and cleared. I had the body aches for about 8 years but was not diagnosed with the fibro. After many, many doctors I was diagnosed with fibro last month. I have almost constant pain but sometimes it is worse and sometimes it is noty so bad.
So, I guess the answer is no, the trigger is not Hep C and it does not trelieve the pain (at lerast for me). Sorry, I know that is not what you wanted to hear. Good Luck to your Fiance.
