5 months post tx and am scared

SO I was, at last check, un, but i have more Spider Angola (sp?) than before tx. I have weird poo's (sorry for being so graphic). Have had for 3 years , should I see a difference in what I thought was symptoms of hep c or should I think that its back, I asked my dr if I could test again and he said not yet. I sit around worried and so just tell me if you had a similar experience after tx.
thanks all

Spider angiomas in women are also common because of hormone levels. It does not necessrily mean that cirrhosis is worse. I don't know what you mean about "weird poos" but unless they are grayish white, with coca cola colored urine, it shouldn't have anything to do with hep C coming back. I think you are worrying needlessly.

My Spider angoimas faded during tx but as JP mentioned above, there are other causes.
The dermatologists I saw always said they were from 'sun damage'.

Whether its back or not worrying isn't good for you.
Find another focus for your mind. Is there a project you've thought about but never started?
Maybe this is just the right time to do it.
Good luck,               OH

I have enjoyed reading you all posts and it as of now is helping me to better deal with my diagnosis of hep c. I was told that I had this last year ( 2012) at that time I was told that I would have to have treatment this was when I was living in Atlanta GA. They told me that the trmt was for 3 months so I ask them how long did I have before I could start trmt, in which they told me I had time. I then decided I would go back home to be around family due to the procedures I would have to endure. Well i'm home now and seeing a Hep doctor and he informed me that they was waiting on this pill that would surface in about a year but they would send for my tests from GA. Well now that the test have arrived they want to bring me in for a endoscopy. well of course here comes the fear anyone out there can you please give me info on this procedure if you have had one.
