Hi and thanks for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about what you have been going through with hepC.

From the information you have provided, you may be developing some complications related to this disease. It could be Cirrhosis, cancer of the liver etc. I think is is time you catch up with your doctor and get and up to date information about the exact stage of the disease at this time.

This will permit your doctor to evaluate you for other treatment options like liver transplant. this can totally rejuvenate your life. Keep fighting and sure solutions will soon come your way.
