I have been diagnosed with hepatitis C about a year ago and lately I have been feeling way tired and drained no matter what I'm doing or how much/how little sleep I get. I also get nauseated, random dizzy spells and headaches, sometimes my bowel movements are dark colored (not the normal kind!) and I need to know if this is my condition worsening. I know some of this may be stress, but it can't all be. my doctor referred me to University of Iowa Hospitals and clinics (Iowa City, Iowa), but they have taken several months to sched. an appointment and still haven't. so I need to know (preferably from a doctor/nurse specializing in this) if my symptoms are worsening and information on how to get a hold of them to schedule my appointment.
I suggest that you call the doctor who referred you to that hospital, and let him know that an appt. has not yet been scheduled. It is important for you to see a specialist.
