Antibiotics

I just started a cure of antibiotics, metronidazol (53 days post EOT). Read the precaution section first and couldn't find anything that would mean I couldn't use it so I took the pills thinking my dr. wouln't have prescibed it if there would be a problem. This is immediately not the same dr that has followed me during tx, so I couldn't be sure.

Just now I started to feel a bit bad (distant feeling, dizziness, tingling in arms, legs and face, and burning feeling in my throat and chest), so I read through the sx-section. Found "liverchance" and "passing changes in blood "there, so now I'm getting nervous. Can't reach my dr. now so I am turning to you guys. What do you think??

Haven't had any bloodtests since 13 days post EOT btw. Then my platelets had started to rise, but were still not completely back to normal. Neutrophils and white bloodcells were in the lower area of normal. Oh, and of course I have to mention that I were still UND...

I tried calling the dr, but he wasn't in till tomorrow. Couldn't reach any other dr with liverinfections as a speciality either, and when I have tried calling the ER with questions about HCV earlier they haven't had the slightest clue. I am scheduled for my next PCR in about a month.

Btw, I was supposed to write "changes in liver", not "liverchance".

Call the doctor right away.  This isn't something you should be asking  people about on the internet because it sounds like someone more knoweldgable should be taking a look at you immediately.

If you haven't had any blood tests since 13 days post EOT you need to be checked to see if you are still UND too right?  Might be worth a trip in to the doctor just for that part.  REmember UND isn't SVR and you want to know that you are cured.
