Question:
Hello

I have a qestion about fibromyalgia and C hepatitis

1. As i inderstad early hcv cure prevent this complication if you treat hcv as soon as posible !
like in first year, you will avoid risk of fibromyalgia
because you infection will no cause damage to body in first year - so early cure is important

Am i right ?

2. If i test hcv once in year it will be enough to diagnose, treat and prevent fibromyalgia

is it so ?

3. HCV can cause fibromyalgia - but its overdiagnosed
as one study with acurate diagnose HCV had 16 % hadrheumatic manifestation. But fibromyalgia was diagosed in 1.9% of hcv - as it is said in literature that
fibromyalgia is overdiagnosed in 97 % of case
In case where it is said fibromyalgia is 20 % in HCV, these case are overdiagnosed as literature said !
4. It is said fibromyalgi can run in family ! as if mother has risk for chidren get it is 28 % it is said in literature !
But as people get older they are more likley to get pain in their body - as in old generation fibromyalgi can be seen as 7 % ( again lot of them are overdiagnosed )
Risk of getting fibromyalgi is when parents at young age has fibromyalgi for exaple mother at age 30, but it is not family risk as grandmother has some pain and overdiagnosed fibromyalgi in late 70

I think i m right !
Is it so ?

Thank you very much !
