Author peripheral neurothopy due to Hep C?

Can anyone tell me of the likelihood of the occurence of a peripheral
neurothopy due to Hep C?
I have lost a great deal of sensation in my feet. Despite numerous blood
and urine tests my Doctors have been unable to come up with a conclusive
cause but have told me it may be a manifestation of my Hep C.

Please share info or point me in right direction to learn more.

Thank You.
Bob

Did your doctors test for diabetes? That is the major cause of peripheral
neuropathy, and diabetes usually damages the immune system so Hep C is more
likely.
