Hello dotors,
I am 22 year old male suffered acute hepatitis C and i was lucky to have the early symptoms so i started treatment about 3 months or less after exposure with sofosbuvir + daclatasvir for 3 months and i got negative PCR after 1 month and 3 months from the start of treatment and after 3 months of stopping treatment.
During infection, treatment and for a period of time after treatment i felt muscle aches and exhaustion especially after performing simple physical tasks but these effects are improved now.
I am just now feeling i face some mental problems in concentration, learning abilities and cognitive functions.
I am just asking if acute hepatits is likely to cause these effects or any brain changes as i read some studies about hcv crossing BBB or this feeling is not true and its only psychological effect and acute HCV has nothing to do with brain or cognitive functions.
Thanks alot
