before you jump to any dire conclusions Amber, the most common cause of dark urine is not enough fluids, water to be precise. try a few good solid days of at least 8 ounces every hour and see if that doesn't help.

you only have a liver on your right side, so your left side pain and discomfort my be a whole other general abdominal issue other than the hep c, something as simple as heart burn

I recommend you shop around to see what type of medical assistance you have available in your area, the department of health services is a good place to start. you sound like you could use a good overall medical checkup

hep c is a tricky little bastard and can effect your overall health long before it actually does any true liver damage, my prayers are with you

My urine is typically dark when I have not drunk enough water to the point of almost a brown color. YOU have to drink water!!! When I was on treatment I drank about 10 glasses a day (alot for me) and my urine did lighten up. I'd try that first.

Well I didnt clear the virus... I still have hep C, but it's great to feel normal and enjoy life. I did'nt always enjoy life when I was on treatment, but I live each day to the fullest now, and enjoy each minute of it.
