I have had hp c for over 20 yrs most likely , and I have major fatigue. And I have been to a M.D. but he was not really very helpful.

There are several different specialists you may pursue. Infectious Disease specialists are Internists with fellowship training. Hepatologists are Internists with advanced training in liver disease. Gastroenterologists (GI doc) are Internists with advanced training in the entire digestive system-including the liver. When scheduling an appointment with whomever you choose, ask if they specialize in or deal with Hepatitis and liver disease.

See a Gastroenterologist. They specialize in the GI tract and Liver conditions. I work for a GI group we treat Hepatitis patients. Good Luck.

a gastrointerologist will know a hell of a lot more about HCV than any other doctor or doctors combined.
if you need help finding a good one in your state i can help....
fatigue (the kind we suffer from) sucks. there is no nice word for it.
it might be time to try antiviral chemotherapy....good luck and hugs!
