[sweet111k]

over the past few months i have been having pain and swelling from the knees down. my ankles and the top of my feet ache & swell. it started with numbness & tingling in my right calf. then the swelling & pain started. has anyone had this problem? and do you think its due to tx? thank you so much.

Can do man--LOL I remember what you did. hehehe

Lilmomma---  There are many things that can cause that smell or taste and anemia is one, it happened to me.  However, what I don't like is the swelling and the ammonia together because they both are signs of a problem with kidney.
I wouldn't wait till Monday I would try and see the dr. or nurse tomorrow. This is a holiday week end and many dr. office some times take vacations during this time because of kids being home from school.

Hey Kalio, did you miss our list yesterday?  Can do, dyce and I , well we got blood in our eyes.......  oh, thats not what you meant?

actually, my eyes get so dry they do have areas that look about two steps beyond bloodshot.  Have you tried moisturizing drops?

Probably not. Crazy glue has a very long half life.

I take it you read it to?

hi, i didn't get to read your responses very closely but i couldn't see if anyone had mentioned the possibility of CRYOGLOBULEMIA or mixed cryoglobulemia. this can be associated with hep c... all you need is a simple blood test to check for it...i thought i had it, and got the blood test... here is some info on symptoms of Cyroglobulemia...

i believe there are some here who have said they have it, but at the moment thier names escape me...it is a serious condition so i pray you do not have it... your swelling could certainly could just be edema (water swelling in the legs etc) a low salt intake could help this...

both of these can be associated with cirhosis. do you know your stage/grade of liver damage from the hepatitus?
