Can the pegintron cause cysts

Can anyone please tell me if you developed cysts since being on the meds.  I have found 4 cysts on my legs which were never there prior to the meds.  I scares me alittle.

Gina...
It's unusual not to get at least one reply... so I am assuming it's because nobody knows the answer to this one... I certainly haven't ever heard of it!

I am a little sluggish today, so I will get on the net & see if I find anything... but I can honestly say, that I think it is unrelated! I'll let you know "IF" I find anything!

I can't find a thing related girl, maybe I have lost my internet savvy

Thanks for the effort.  I will ask my nurse tomorrow.  I guess for once I have everyone stumped.  I know I am.  
Thanks again

Gina - oh my god I got some very nasty cysts/lumps under my arms & now one is developing in my eye. I had never had anything like this & my hospital did not have another patient who had the same thing. The one's under my arm settled after 6 weeks & I choose to think of it as my body changing & adapting.

The one on my eye appeared overnight so I am off to the doctor as soon as I finish work. Will let you know if I get any news.

I know that I did not have any cysts prior to the meds and now I have 4 on my legs.  I will let you know what I find out too. It could be just a fluke.

saw Doc last night & she feels cysts are not too much to worry about but I need to keep a check on them - the one in my eye is only small at this stage.

the general feeling I have is that my body is under the weather & my reactions to treatment are compounded by the fact that I am tired, not eating or sleeping well & feeling very ordinary, so this is my body's way of coping...

Gina all that I can say is go to your Doc, & keep an eye on any changes in your body that concern you. I would love to know if you get any info at your end.

I am in coming up to week 10 of treatment & right now I feel like I coming to pieces. I am feeling very worn down & tired in general.

I have ask the nurse and was told to go and get the checked.  But not to worry.  Please keep up the good work and don't give in.  I have been so fed up, depressed angry etc.  Wanted to quit every friday before the injection but keep on trucking with it. I am 38/48 week treatment.  This site will keep you going with support.
