Hepatitis C Symptoms
« on: December 10, 2015, 02:11:23 pm »
Many people with chronic hepatitis C have no symptoms of liver disease. That is, they don't necessarily feel or look sick. If symptoms are present, they are usually mild, aren't very specific (some people simply say they're feeling "blah"), and tend to come and go. However, here are a few things to look out for:

Brain fog is the term patients use to describe when it is difficult to think well and be alert. The mind feels like it is shrouded in fog. It can be difficult to concentrate and there can be short-term memory loss. Not everyone with hepatitis C gets brain fog, and those who do have a wide range of experiences.

Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of HCV. Fatigue has many causes, so be sure your medical provider has ruled out other medical conditions if you experience these symptoms.

Gastrointestinal Complaints Some people feel discomfort in the right upper part of the abdomen around the liver area. Since the liver does not have any nerve cells, the discomfort is usually caused by the capsule surrounding the liver, as well as from nearby organs.

Muscle and joint aches are common symptoms of hepatitis C; pain is not. Both need medical evaluation. Research tells us that moderate exercise and staying active are the best way to manage physical discomfort.
