Afret 5 shots of the Procrit my nose stars bleeding.

I did my 5th shot of the Procrit today and in about 30 min my nose started bleeding.I took me 15 min to stop bleeding.  Also after a shot I feld tingling all over my body. Is this normal?

It's never happened to me...and I've taken it for a long long time now at high doses.  Is it possible that it is a coincedence?

Pcr is showing a n/a hcv but this test only goes to <600 . Thats from 5,212,000 good enough to continue! I'm relieved but still not outta the woods by a long shot. Have to take run down the street , I'll be back. Thats a 11 week pcr .

That's fantastic news!  Yes, the test isn't very sensitive, but at this point, I think it's ok because it means you get to keep going!  Can you pay out of pocket for a more sensitive PCR?  Or can you somehow get your insurance to cover it?  Congrats on your great news!  I'm so happy for you!

That is so wonderful that at 11 weeks you have seen that type of drop. That means you have completed phase (check point charlie) with more than flying colors. Your news made my day now if we can get the Beagle through three more weeks with all of his paws in tack:) Dale
