Is it possible to have chronic hep c or chronic fatigue after hep c treament and virule load is normal

You're fatigued? How long is it since you finished treatment with interferon and was it in combination with ribovirin? If your viral load is "normal" and you feel fatigued, you could be having symptoms of an entirely different condition. Be sure you are taking vitamins that are approved by your hepatologist (I've heard that iron is not recommended for those with liver disease). Be sure that your nutrition and hydration is attended. How is your mood because 6-12 month treatment can really get you down. I believe your body needs to rest after that about of treatment - so be careful with your lifestyle. Is your doctor aware and how is the rest of your blood tests: cbc & chemistry. You know, just because your hep-c viral load is "normal", doesn't mean you don't have hep b - similar signs and symptoms. You didn't mention your age or how you contracted hep-c. Let your dr. know how you are feeling most importantly. Be nice to your body and God Bless!

What is a *normal* viral load? You either have a viral load or you don't. You are either detectable or undetectable (not normal or abnormal). It sometimes takes MONTHS to fully recover from treatment. As the last person mentioned... take good care of yourself and if you are having more fatigue than you think you should please consult your physician as you might have something else going on too. Peace!
