i am a 57 yr old that has been diagnosed with Hep C. I have had a rapid weight gain in the last month primarily around my mid section. I have never had weight problems before. I have always hovered around 130 lbs but since 6 weeks ago my weight has sky rocketed to 165lbs. I do not have any pain just the discomfort of growing out of my clothes and the feeling of having the appearance of a bowlful of jelly.
Hello, I wanted to tell you that your obesity is affecting Hep C into ways-one by causing nonalcoholic fatty liver and secondly by lowering effect of interferon and Riboviria. Hepatitis C can be treated with above regimen.
