Thank you for answering I went to my OB I am not going though the change. And I never had this before treatment, And it just start a month ago. I also am have ringing in my right ear and burning in my foot my doctor said these two were cause by treatment it says so on the warngings. I am beging to think no one really knows about this drug. Meki had said something about extra stray hairs, I just want it all to go away
Facial hair is very very VERY common while on treatment. So are changes in your cycle (mine stopped completely while I was on the interferon but 72 weeks later when I stopped it came right back again).
As for complicating situations you should contact your doctor but in GENERAL both of the two things you mentionned at TOTALLY normal.
My diagnosos came about because of porphyria (PCT). PCT causes excess facial hair and blisters on (for me) the hands. The type of PCT I had / have is directly related to hep C. Not saying that is your problem but I have tons of peach fuzz and it will not go away on its own. Also the "change of life" will bring about facial hair on some like Rita said
Denise.
i did answer your post, i believe you need to see both your tx doctor and your ob/gyn. Facial hair on women is a sign of the change, and change in your periods are also sign, whether they be longer or months apart. Your ob/gyn can tell you if you are changing or if it is sides.
Sorry I can't help you I haven't had to concern myself with that for a long time now...
I know it can be frustating not to get any response for your questions though..
So I hope there are some women in the forum who can help you or try to ask the Doctors that are on the home page.
Good Luck
