Only a qualified doctor can help you. In order to get a diagnosis and know your prognosis you need to see a gastroenterologist or a hepatologist (assuming your symptoms are related to liver disease). I am not sure how the health system works in your country, but whatever you can to see one of these specialist please do it soon. Bruising and getting nose bleeds can be complications of liver disease and should not be taken lightly.

The doctor will know the appropriate tests you will need to diagnose that symptoms and complications you are having.

Hepatitis C does not go away on its own. You should look into getting treatment before the virus does too much damage to your liver. To have been diagnosed 14 years ago and not have your conditioned monitored is not a good way of caring for yourself. The good news is the new treatments are more effective than ever. So once you find out the current status of your health it would be wise to talk to the doctor about treating your hepatitis C.

Best of luck to you.

Welcome fluff!  Nobody can guess what stage you're in, at least not correctly.  Well maybe someone could but nobody on here is gonna tell you what stage you're in.  It wouldn't help you either way.  Tell us more Barbie doll.
