I have Hep C with the addition of possible Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? C

[Guest SheilaAsma]

I have worked as a Corrections Officer at the local Jail for the past 16 years. Last July(1999) I was cut by a razor that had been used several times by an inmate (they were disposable razors, but they were supposed to use them several times before the Officers replaced them). The inmate had no problem with releasing his medical records for me, and he can back positive for Hep B & C . I was tested by the County Dr. that same day and my test came back negative. Twice more I was tested and also Negative. Then in February of this year my tests came back positive for Hep C. Needless to say, I was very scared & sad.

About 3 months ago I started hurting all over and I'm very tired all the time. The Dr. thinks it might be CFS and I have no idea what to do. The County has accepted my claim for Hep C treatment, but I have no idea what my options are at this point. My viral load is in the normal range at this time but that is always subject to change as this virus mutates.Can anybody help? Anyone else in this line of work ever have this problem?? Thanks for any help you can give me.
