"I 'm waiting to receive treatment from USC"  Are these normal symptoms?
______________________________

This is an excellent  time to educate yourself about Hepatitis C and Treatment.  You have concerns about your fatigue, dry skin and memory symptoms.  All of your concerns could be connected to your liver disease
but that would have to be confirmed by a doctor.  Being prepared by educating yourself about hepatitis C will help you to know the question to ask your doctor.  The process your going thru can be very mentally draining.  Your not alone with your concerns.   Take the time to go to "Hepatitis.va.gov"
and read the lesson plans about Hepatitis C.  The United States Department
of Veteran's Affairs is the largest single provider of Hepatitis C Treatment and
it offers excellent information for everyone.  I think you will find it extremely helpful.

Best to You

I have hep c and stopped drinking in December- it is now May and I still get fatigue and have the driest skin that Ive ever had. I moisturize and try to drink a lot of water. My memory lapses a lot and I get so stressed out easily these days. Are these normal symptoms? I am on a waiting list to recieve treatment from USC- I take probiotics and did a liver kidney cleanse for 4 months. I also take a Focus pill to help my memory as well as b12 complex for my immune system. I've also changed my diet in the last 2 months, little rice, no white breads(wheat or grain only) no red meat and chicken once in a while. I'm Working toward being a pescatarian. I am doing my best to stay as healthy as possible. In this process I am still feeling mentally out of it-

After my husband started drinking again it was like watching him kill himself. Maybe that was what he was trying to do. After he started drinking again it was only 3 years until his death, this August 31, 57 years old. I don't get it why would you drink?
