mistake them for other condition symptoms. Hepatitis C is a condition
that can lead to liver diseased and even liver damage.
Some of the
symptoms for hepatitis C can be fatigue, nausea, headaches and even
memory loss from time to time. There are a lot of cases where people who
had those hepatitis symptoms were diagnosed incorrectly because the
doctors could not figure out that they actually had a hepatitis C
infection. This is a very serious condition that hides its roots well.
The main way of the hepatitis c virus spread is through blood. This
hepatitis virus can also be passes down from mother to fetus, but these
are less common cases of hepatitis C. Because hepatitis C is a silent
condition , many people come to suffer from severe liver damage. You can
