Are Morphine And Diazepam The Cause For Hepatitis-C?

HI I h ad my annual physical in June & 2wks later my R. side started hurting & I was vomiting.. I returned to the VA & they retested my blood & said I have acute Hep-C & I went to the main SLC & saw a GI Dr. & he told me to come back in Dec., but I ve lost more weight & appetite & still feel fatigued & nauseous. I ve already had my appendix out & went around 6mo w/o my proper Nexium I ve been taking 2-40mg a day for the past 10yrs at least... I was told 2yrs ago that I have a fatty liver by my GP & drank at least 2 drinks of Rum & coke or more for the past 220yrs & turned 50 this yr & have chronic fatigue & fibromyalgia 16yrs now & have been taking Percocet 750mg x 6-8 a day until I found out they have Tylenol changed to oxycodone & morphine 180mg & 30mg diazepam 30mg a day... could it spread to serosous in that fast of a time??? I quit once I got sick in June.. Thank You!!
