Well, I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C when I was 14 years old. Hepatitis C is a disease in the liver. The Hepatitis C virus is spread by blood. There are two stages of Hepatitis C: Acute and Chronic. Acute refers to the first 6 months somebody is exposed to the infection. Between 60 and 70% develop no symptoms in the acute phase. People who do experience symptoms usually have: decreased appetite, nausea, fatigue, abdominal pain, jaundice, itching, etc.Hope that helps, you can go to google and type in Hepatitis C information, there are a lot of websites that can help you out!
