HCV and ME/CFS

I've been dealing with me/cfs for many years.  hcv is one of the infections that has turned up in this quest to get well.  Having both has raised many questions, and continues to influence my tx decisions.  Before launching off into a history and elaborating on why I would even present this topic for discussion, I would like to ask if there are people here like me, dealing with both.  Thanks all.

Hey thanks everyone,  Yes I've had hcv dx for 12 years,  and I have done tx twice with Combo over that period of time.  Null/partial responder both times.  Even though one would expect to see many heppers with me/cfs, I have had trouble finding even a handful (and I know hundreds if not thousands from both communities).  There is also surprisingly scant research on this topic.  So anyone with experience, knowledge or links on this, is much appreciated.

what is me/cfs?       have you treated your hcv yet?     feel free to bring up the topic.  Many of us are dealing with more than one virus/disease along with the HCV.
Thanks in advance
