I am a 70-year old woman, that has lower back pain, I have complained to my doctor, and he said it's from getting older in age. I was told in 2002 that I had hep C. They said it will go away or kill me. now they said there is a cure for hep C. I keep asking my physician for a blood test, but i haven't gotten it yet. what should I do? I'm getting very weak and can hardly walk, I know somethings is wrong.
