Guest guest Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Hep C can be dx'd right away. So that can be confirmed or eliminated. Lupus and fibro cannot be determined that definitely. Tell your doctor to rule out the definites first. Sheesh. Alley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Oh he is... but I also understand that a person can be infected with Hep C for quite some time without showing symptoms or showing symptoms that the doctors attribute to something else. Lupus was dx'd over 25 years ago... it should have manifested much stronger by now, but even so, he tested for SLE again. What is the specific test for HEP C?
