could the blood be from your teeth/gums? if not from dental problems then the type of doc you would need for further evaluation is a gastro or hepatologist. good luck

Try not to be too scared Medo.  If you have a history of "weak and senisitive teeth" and your mouth / gums / teeth are hurting, this blood you are seeing when you spit is most likely blood coming from your gums / teeth  (not your gut.)  Those "puckets of blood" you get after you brush your teeth are probably left-over blood that is coming from "pockets" that form between your teeth and gums when you have gum disease (and gum disease can be common with Hep C).  It can be painful and taste bad.  The blood in those pockets just feeds the fire  (makes gum disease worse).  Gum disease can also make you feel weak, tired, and sick. If left untreated, it can make you sicker.  

Can you get to a dentist?  You need to get seen by a dentist right away if you can. If you can't get to a dentist - get a soft toothbrush and brush often (no matter how bad it hurts).  Brush after after every single meal or after you eat something.  Drink a lot of water, and don't eat anyting with sugar in it.  Use Listerine full strength (no matter how bad it hurts) about 3 times a day.  Get to a dentist if you can.

Best of luck.

also, an oxygenated mouth rinse will help a little with the pain.

Glad to hear from you again. Has your stomach swelling gotten any better?
I have also heard to rinse with hydrogen peroxide diluted with water. It really sounds like gum disease to me, not bleeding caused by the liver.

Thanks a lot my frinds , well i will try to brush my teeth every day and do as you said > ( LadyBug ) well my stomach - when i did the sonar ray my doctor said it is nothing to worry about and it is not a opdima .....

Yours ,
