2 years post tx skin and memory problems

[alijee]

after two years post tx, i m facing acne problem which is not getting solved after taking so many antibiotics. This is mostly on face and shaving area. Other problem is memory loss.

i went to TIENs medical specialist. He checked me by elctric acupuncture method and found zink deficiency. he sugessted some zink natural food suplements etc

Can any body tell me why is this?

At the start of my treatment my TSH went up to 5.7 and at the end of Tx it was 2.1. After that i did not check it again. My be it is causing this. I have consulted so many skin specialist who recommended some anti biotic. After having anti bio the gets solve but as soon as i stop taking anti bio, matter emerge again

Were you tested for thyroid function during HCV therapy? Poor thyroid function occurs sometimes as a result of interferon use and can affect the skin. Discuss this with your doctor, and good luck-

I can't tell you why but it should be easy to try taking a zinc tablet once a day and see if it helps.  I'm sorry you are having such a hard time.  I don't know much about acupuncture but I hope you will keep trying to improve your overall health and not give up.
Best Wishes,
