Are you running a temperature when you experiecne this. I run a fever quite often in the evenings within the first couple of days after I do my shot. I experience the chills during those times.

Any temp below 70 and I'm freezing, even getting out of bed and its 75 in the house and I'm cold. I wear long sleave shirts from 70 to 75 and add a sweat shirt from 65 to 70, below that heavy sweaters and turn up the heat. Multible things are causing mine, failing heart causing poor blood circulation, blood thinners, I'm not sure about the hep, I've had it since 69 but it might be a consideration.

I've been off treatment for almost 5 months and I still have problems getting warm or staying warm. I live in Florida and m y a/c doesn't go below 79. I believe my lack of tolerance for the cold has to do with anemia.

Are you by chance anemic?

Sounds like low blood count or throid, maybe you need to have levels checked want hurt. I lost a lot of weight during tx,sometimes this can cause being cold,I run a 99 temp the next day after my shot.

Hi guys, I;ve been doing a bit of research, and I found this on the net from the Hepatitis C trust;

Often people with hepatitis C have difficulty in maintaining their body temperature, generally this manifests itself in feeling cold and once cold finding it very difficult to get warm. Its good therefore to try and prevent getting too cold in the first instance
To keep warm
Wear lots of thin layers that can be discarded if you get too hot
Take hot baths
Use hot water bottles
Keep feet and hands warm.

It didn't say why though, that was all there was about it, maybe it's not my imagination then lol!

Funny the treatment has made me warm again after years of cold hands feet Now If the cold comes back I put on some music and dance by the 3rd or 4th song heat starts coming back to my exterminites. On days I feel bad I put on some soft music and just get lost in it and move only as much as body wants and good days I can dance to a sweat, that is sweet.

I too am always cold.Wear a jacket or long sleeve in the summer heat.When my blood count is low I am colder but never really feel warm anymore.My family said its because I have lost weight but I blame it on the hep.Bundle up and good luck.

I to got chilled when I was on treatment, I think it is just one of the side effects. Don't worry too much about it. probably go away after awhile. Paula

is this not a hcv condition? i havent had any tx yet and am constantly cold. ok this year in uk hasnt been great, but usually, even in the winter i can go without a coat. not now tho. i am always cold and it takes forever to get warm once all snuggles up under the quilt.

I too have trouble staying warm at times. I just have learned to cover up even in the summer.

Hep C does make you more sensitive to hot and cold, but I would see a doctor and maybe get some bloodwork done before coming to any conclusions.

I had the same symptoms. I found it was low thyroid(hypothyroid). This virus can screw with other internal organs besides the liver. I never had any thyroid problems before getting infected, I wasn't gaining weight, I was just always cold. Now that I'm on medication(synthroid) I feel fine temperature wise.
