Hi,I had treatment for hep c and after the course I was discharged but was never told my results but felt much better and full of energy 9 months later I a very sleepy all the time and cannot seem to eat any protein at all or I fall into a deep sleep and get lots of pain in my body and liver area tried to get hold of my gp but they are busy with vivid so was looking for support or advice as I am not sure what is wrong or happening

Some of the newer treatments for Hep C require ongoing monitoring so I am surprised you were discharged. You definitely need to have your liver checked so try and push for an appointment, even for some initial blood tests. Do you know what state your liver was in prior to treatment? I know at one point in the UK you practically had to have cirrhosis before they'd even treat Hep C.

Do try and get to see your GP for assessment, the NHS is still open for routine care and GP's arn't dealing with Covid cases so they are still accessible you just have to go through triage systems.

Best wishes,

Katie

Hello,

You definitely need to have a medical review and as Katie says, it is surprising that you have not had followup.

Although your Hep C cleared at the time it is possible to relapse or get re infected.
