Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C infections are caused by the hepatitis virus and can result in inflammation of the liver, affecting its ability to function. Severe cases of hepatitis C can result in liver failure, liver cancer or cirrhosis of the liver. Hepatitis is usually contracted from contaminated blood, blood transfusions or through intravenous drug use. Those suffering from Hepatitis C may be severely ill, leaving them unable to work or secure employment.
Sufferers of Hepatitis C know that one of its primary symptoms is chronic fatigue. You may be unable to have a productive day, need excessive sleep and find yourself exhausted when completing everyday tasks. These symptoms may also leave you unable to care for your family and secure gainful employment.
