Can cryoglobulinemia be a symptom of acute hepatitis c?

Hello, I'm French. Six weeks ago, I had a sexual relation with a girl who has hcv + (including anal). Two weeks later after this exposure, I'm experiencing symptoms like arthralgia, cold hands, and frequent urination. I watched on Internet and these symptoms looks like Cryoglobulinemia. Can Cryoglobulinemia be a symptom of acute hepatitis c? (Two weeks after exposure) Or, its just a long term consequence of chronic hcv? Thanks for your reply. (Sorry for my english.)

  1. Yes it is a key factor. I was diagnosed after having hep c 46 years. I underwent treatment for this and am doing great. My prayers to your recovery and good health from here on out.

    1. I was diagnosed in September with Hep c type 3A, over a year before dx I was having some brain fog, but that quickly increased and the ice cold hands and legs are horrible and so painful and no one can explain them or help.
