A year ago I landed at my family doctor's rooms complaining of feeling seedy. "What could it be?" asked the friendly locum doc who was filling in. "My untreated HCV?" I wondered aloud. He wrote a referral letter to a local hepatologist and exhorted me to get treated. And so I did. Cured now, I am. SVR 24
It turned out the lethargy was just low blood pressure so I upped my salt intake and sorted it out that way. But the side effect of meeting that doctor was that I took the steps to get the cure for the HCV. Win-win. Thank you FixHepC
