Hello dear Greetings Sorry about losing your job regarding your intake of METAMPHETAMINE definitely it is going to manifest in your blood due to your damaged liver from your infection with hepatitis C indeed the liver can not metabolize the drug anymore
So in view of this please see a hepatologist specialist for further clinical assessment and adequate drug prescription
I hope this helps
