Is my hepatitis C affecting my ability to lose weight?

Question:

My acupuncturist tells me because my liver functions are impaired, it will be harder to lose weight.

Answers:
usually when you have hepatitis c you have an issue losing weight, not gaining.

it could be you have a dual problem as with many heppers....

by my term "dual" meaning you have hepatitis c, but you probably also suffer from NASH or diabetes. I certainly would seek the advice of a gastro and look into treating your hcv.

i still have nash, but my hcv is gone!

acupuncture will not clear hcv, nor will it get rid of other problems associated with the liver.

good luck

I hope your acupuncturist uses new needles each time. yes since your liver function is slowing down you will gain weight and get bloated.My Brother had hep C and we saw him balloon, but this was at his late stage.
I hope your on medication and under the care of a qualified physician.
