Red Spots

[odessit]

Hi everyone,
I'm on Pegasys/Riba, 18/48 week. My suplements are MultiVit w/o Iron (OneADay, Mens formula) + Vit E 400 UI. About 2 weeks ago multiple red spots appeared mostly in the abdomen and thorax area, largest being a quarter size. I was hoping they will disappear with time, I even stopped taking Vitamins with <b>no visible improvement</b>. What do you think causes it? Is it INF + Riba or something else? What can be done?

slarso, regarding your WBC and ANC you are in fine shape.  I've been going around for 4 months with a WBC of 1.2-1.5 and ANC of 520-740.....very marginal numbers.  I've been very careful about bacteria, fungus and viral exposure and seem to be OK so far.

Hope you don't mind me jumping in on this?
You all mentioned thyroid.....I was just wondering....I'm due to do my 3/24, Mon....This last week, my throat has been pretty sore off & on...not like the soreness you get with the flu etc...more like the muscles in my throat are sore...kinda at the top of my throat, just under the jaw bone...is that a thyroid problem??  Or is this a normal for most??? Don't get to see my Hep Nurse until the 22nd.
I also had my bloods done last Tuesday....forgot what I needed to ask about, but I was told my ALT is now 64 from 107...is this good news for me?  Can anyone give me a list of what I need to check when I have my next blood test??  I was also told that my white cell count has dropped as has my heamoglobin(sorry, no idea how you spell that).
Appreciate any advice, guys,
Hope everyone is as well as can be...
Louise

talk about coincidence, I went to My G.P and he put me on the same sleeping pill as you. When I voiced my concerns, he said those side effects can only happen when being treated for scitsoprenia(sp) and they take 3000mil. twice a day. We're very safe    Luv,   Joni

Steve,

forgot to mention in my last post that it'd be fun to do a tri out in Ca.   You'll have to let me know what some of the good local one's in your area are.

Steve, You mentioning So. CA and a big rear cassette made me think about a bike I bought off ebay this Fall.  I gor a Calnago CT1 from a guy in Culver City, CA that had a 12-27 on it.  Said there was a 10 mile hill he rode every weekend with a 7% average grade. Sounds like a fun ride if I wasn't on tx. Haven't decided what I can do with the cassett yet as most people around here in the frozen tundra of Minnesota use 11-21's.
