Guest guest Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Hi Glenn, This is Glenn...Am I talking to myself again... You might want to let you dr. know about this black out. I had a similiar experience but I didn't black out, dr. said I was right on the verge of one. How long has it been since you had a CBC? Ask them to check for anemia. Remember to drink lots of clear water: fruit juice, sports drinks, Crystal Light, etc don't count.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Good point Glenn (and Glenn) - My doc was thinking of doing some heart studies, but I'd had them in the past. I think it was just a fluke thing for me; it hasn't happened since. > > > > > > i have never had sex, no blood transfusions, i have never done > > drugs, > > > i don't drink, and i haven't shared razors or anything like > that. > > > now, i AM insulin resistant which means i am pre-diabetic. my > > liver > > > enzymes came back very high from my last bloodwork, and that's > why > > > the doc tested me for Hep cos of the high liver enzymes. so she > > calls > > > me back today and says I have hep C. can somebody PLEASE tell me > > how > > > i caught this??!?!! the doc talked to me about how she wants me > to > > > see a gastro doctor, but what will they be testing for? also, > > would > > > it be smart to get maybe a 2nd and 3rd blood test taken to MAKE > > SURE > > > i have this? i remember when i had a routine bloodtest taken > back > > > when i was 16 and my blood sugar came back 500 which is > diabetes. > > *a > > > normal blood sugar goes no higher than 100*.

I definitely connected it with the peginterferon. It's gotten better now though. I still have some of the sides, but it's gotten better. My doc said people sometimes get used to the sides and it gets better after a month or so, but it took me 6 months! > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
