Ijun,
There are other viruses assosciated with Hep C that produce fatigue on there own and not really the same thing, Citomagella and Epstien Barr are commonly triggered with the Hep C and I have all three, It is what they call Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, We all carry these Herpes viruses around in a dormant stage and some times for no real reason a flu virus will trigger them all into the active state. Your right about the fatigue being quiet different, and when your on the Interferon it's about 10 times as bad as normal, your bones hurt from the inside and you have what I call bone cramps that hurt like CH pain only from inside your arms and legs. Your so weak you can barely get out of bed yet with the CH's you can't actually sleep very much because of the demon in you head. Keeping a positive attitude helps but it's very hard being this ill and having 5-10 CH's a day on top of it all! I'm here to lend an ear to anyone that needs my help, And with these elephant ears it's a real earful that I can handle.LOL!! Sailpappy
