Wht symptoms did you have before treatment?

Hi all - this is my first time here. You all sound very caring and knowledgeable. I was just dx this week with Hep C. Having symptoms for a long time that no doc could figure out. Do any of you remember any symptoms that you have before you were dx.

Also, any advice for a newcomer? Especially when it comes to correct information from doctors and knowing what to believe. I've gone through too many docs just trying to figure out why I feel so terrible.

Thanks for all your help. I guess I'll be around here for a while - say a year! God bless you all!

He'll remember that for a long time , but never more than the first time he steps in it and Dad's not around to help him clean it off of his shoes. (even though as fathers we stand by waiting for the inevitable "**** clean-up call)

Turn the lights off when you leave ,
but not before navigating through the piles of wisdom we all left laying around here today.

Good night

Welcome to the nut house. Sorry we meet under these circumstances. You've found a great place to hang out and learn about your diagnosis. We've got Ice Cream experts, bowel experts, female fish doctors who only shave their head, and guys who wear beekeepers bonnets to swim in the ocean. Oh and some folks who realy know their stuff about this treatment in case that's what floats your boat. It's a trip.

Someone should be by to push psylium husk and aloe vera shortly. You'll love her!

To answer your question, I was pretty much asymptomatic till my liver started hurting. I've done the treatment and now it doesn't. I like that.
