Could Joint Pains With Itching All Over The Body Be Due To Hepatitis C?

when I was 6 years old I had Hep but not sure what kind. I was yellow and was in the hospital and no one could come and see me unless wearing gowns and mask. in the last 4 years I have had stomic bleeding, big red blood blisters, poor short term memory, joint pain, and orange stool and occassionaly I itch all over. Could this be Hep C????
