Welcome to the forum.
What exact medication for HCV did you take? Possibly tell us a bit more like what amount of liver damage were you diagnosed with prior to starting and did you have any other health conditions other than HCV.Many of us after finishing up report feeling somewhat re-energized,however there has been some to for a bit of time,maybe struggling with feeling no better ,or possibly worse.
Possibly something else ,health wise needs to be addressed. let us know how you are doing.

Nov6/18 SVR 24!Hello Shnapper
It is very difficult to get HCV from sex.In order to be infected, blood from someone infected needs to enter the blood stream of another,so unless chainsaws and whips were used it is an extremely rare form of transmission.
“While I have had many liver function tests to this day including a PCR test, all have been negative”
———————————————————————————————-
If you had a PCR for HCV and it was negative then you” do not” have HCV. Hopefully at the same time you were tested for HBV.Also if all your other liver function tests were normal ,as you mentioned (Alt,Ast, Biliruben,Alp,platlets and Albumin ) then it would be doubtful that anything would be going on with your liver.
Possibly you talk with your physcian further about your symptoms to ascertain what might be going on .

If your doctor will order a test then OHIP will usually pick up the cost of the diagnosis if you don’t have private coverage.
There are many places around Toronto,
Just google somewhere close to where you are.S

Sorry to hear you still are feeling crappy but nice to see you are Und. at the end of your treatment.
As Hazel mentions everyone will have somewhat different reactions.
My personal experience was I had-fatigue from the virus and fortunately quite quickly into treatment it started to lift and I do feel much better on that regard 3 months afterwards.Keep in mind your body has been through a lot. You had the virus a long time and then it deals with potent drugs for quite an extended period then has to adjust to it having no virus and then abruptly stopping the meds.
Our poor old body’s must sometimes feel like we are treating it like a “theme park”.
It’s only been a few days.Treat your body well(proper diet, stay well hydrated, try to get sleep at the right time and some exercise)
If in time you don’t start to feel improvements then possibly a full work up by your doctor to look for cause.Keep in mind , ridding yourself of HepC , is a great step towards our good health, however as we age good health is usually the result of many steps doing what we can to maintain good health.

My enzyme levels were like yours for many years and like mgalbrai’s dropped to the teens within weeks of starting treatment.
It is never to late to start treatment and put a halt to any damage the virus might be causing.
Good luckS
