Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 oh god yes! You cant touch me in the hips and they said that is where they make the bone marrow. I am now 1.8 and 2 weeks ago I was 2.2 so they gave me both shots today. My red is 3.9 From: elizabethnv1 <elizabethnv1@ earthlink. net>Subject: Re: [Hepatitis_C_ Central] questionsTo: Hepatitis_C_ Central@yahoogro ups.comDate: Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 11:40 AM Sounds like your having platelete issues , which can cause bleeding like that . And if you have blood in your stools you should get ahold of your doctor and let them know . [Hepatitis_C_ Central] questions I have been sitting here reading all the e-mails. Thank you for all the information you give us every day. It is so appreciated. I have some questions. I have developed alot of veins in my legs. that in itself is scary. Today I looked down and I had one on each side develop blood pockets. Is that serious? What about the veins, has anyone had them. The biggest challenge I have is not sleeping well. If I don't take anything I am up off and on all night. If I do take something (they gave me ambien) it works but I could sleep 6 hours the next day and I work every day so i cant feel so tired during the day. I am on my 9th shot. I have bleeding of the gums and nose although not manageable. I hate to be gross but I have very gray stool and I bleed there to Any feedback is appreciated.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Often the difference is the fillers. Medicine may have the same active ingredient, but different fillers. In the past I have had to switch from one generic brand to another because the first caused unpleasant side effects.
