Could Sub Clinical Hepatitis C Have Long Term Health Effects?

Hello, may years ago I was diagnosed with sub clinical hepatitis c. I took medication at the time and never thought of it again until today. Question: could this disease still be affecting me today. I have had fibromyalgia for a long time and also very low adrenal fatigue and am wondering if hep c could have caused these problems. Thanks, Raelene

Well Hepatitis C sometimes "crosses the liver borders" touching other systems and causing other health problems, but is not mentionned for fibromyalgia nor causing adrenal problems, so firstly I'd like to calm you.
Secondly thank to the drugs (antivirals) we are in posses Hepatitis C is now considered not only a treateble but a curable disease, so once the sustained viral response documented it has little changes to "turn back again". Anywhere in your next check up (no urgency at all) you will see the liver functional test, transaminases the first.
