I too have PCT and have had 7 phlembotomies. My Ferritin started at 809 and its down to 46 yesterday. The problem is that the blisters are not stopping. I have them on both hands and they are so sore, I cant stand it. I'm HCV geno 1A and viral load over 3 million...I'm waiting to get insurance to ok the drugs to start my treatment, but nothing yet. I'm very frustrated and just want to cry...On top of all that, my face is very dark and I have hair growing on the sides of my face...My Grandkids keep asking me what is wrong with me....I'm so over this...Anyone else going thru this?
