Any one suffering unexplained bruising

[motherof05]

I am a 33 year old mother of 5, I found out i had hep c when i went to donate blood at work several years ago. Still have no idea how i contracted it. never done drugs, or had transfusion. My guess is maybe through my tattoos. Any way, my last interferon/ribavirin treatment was in December 2009. I am still suffering i believe due to the treatment. i have break outs of unexplained bruising all over my body...worse at the injection sites accompanied by extreme itching. Still have migraines, my bones ache tremendously sometimes keeping me from sleeping. Though my hair has come back and i am back to a healthy weight. I suffer from memory loss, and now my docs think i may have CLL chronic lymphoctyic leukemia. which i have found on other message boards to be realted to hep c treatment. is any one else out there suffering these effects?

Maybe you have purpura or vasculitits. Is it on your lower body from hips down mostly on the legs.

I have low platelet counts, like 44, and bruise easily. That may or may not be your problem. Just saying. Get a CBC and that will give a platelet count.
