Ever heard of Affectious Hepatitis back in the 40's?



It was spreading fast in the large cities at the time. Spent 11 weeks in hospital with total bedrest and isolation. Back then, they didn't have A, B, or C names for it, so I don't know which one it was. If you had this as a child, could it have caused liver damage?

Could this be why so many medications cause bad side effects, like tired, aching muscles, bones and joints, etc.? Looked up symptoms. Called Rhabdomyolysis. Tried all of the cholesterol meds, even Zetia. Same problem. Ideas Doc.?

You should be tested for Hep A, B , and C. Back then they didn't distinguish the different types. Hep A runs its course, but if that's what it was, you'll have the antibodies. You are protected from further infections after that.
If it was B, you may or may not have a chronic case of it. Only further tests will tell. Most people clear Hep B on their own (80%), but if you are one of the 20% that have it chronically, then it can cause liver damage, even if you had no symptoms. Same with Hep C, but 80% of those exposed do NOT clear it on their own. Get tested to find out. Best wishes. Source(s): HCV educator, advocate,survivor; 6 years cleared of the HCV virus
