A blood test on 2000-Aug-12 showed my thyroid seemed to be underactive. Searching for links between Thyroid disease and Hepatitis C and its treatment, this is the only page I found discussing the link between them.

For more background information on the Thyroid, I found a great primer site on about.com -- Thyroid Disease 101 (part of an overall larger site about the thyroid at about.com).
