Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
Hi Everyone,
I have kind of been out of the loop for a while. But, I'm back. I have a question for all those that did the triple tx. Is there anyone else out there that has suffered any memory loss or severe forgetfulness? Although tx was 2 years ago I have found that since tx my memory is getting worse by the day. Not sure if it's from the tx, the addiction I HAD to the perc's or the fact that I had a very bad fall on my head (I heard that giggle). I also am now suffering from Restless Leg Syndrome!! I am going to have blood work done in the morning to see if something is going on but not sure this will be enough. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
Hugs
Debbie

But I know for myself i will never be able to separate what my bad memory is from: the drugs i used to do, the mild chemo i've been on for years, or ageing...most likely all 3.
The other thing that affects forgetfulness is multi-tasking. But ageing is a major factor.
right now my brain went on break somewhere - it is hard.
I just turned 60, and hubby who is 65 has better brain function
than me.
BUt then again, I do all the stressors at home, financials, etc.
Maybe we should change this??
The Interfeuron does have lingering long term effects - that is MY opinion - and there is the age factor too!!!
You are NOT alone..
