A member asked:

Can you get peripheral neuropathy from your mom whom had hepatitis c? and get symptoms of peripheral neuropathy 15yrs later?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dr. David Rosenfeld answered

Hepatitis C: If you do not have hep c yourself then no. The fact that your mom has hep c has nothing to do with you getting peripheral neuropathy.

Dr Raff and another doctor agreed
