Sounds like a doctor visit is in need. None of us on here are doctors...we are all patients so we can't give you serious advice on something we don't see or know. Don't take anychances.
Could you expand on your dx of cryo? What was your %? Do you know the type you have, I, II or III?
Being positive for cryo at the end of tx could explain your relapse.
I was positive also (neg at eot) but could not get a doctor to expand the test to determine the type. Cryo is so misunderstood that we have to be very proactive in tx.
My first day back to work since tx so I will be checking back this evening. Thanks and have a good day.

Sunspot - Yes, Raynauds can be a light show. I can watch my feet change every time I'm in a warm tub, lol. And it is different from cryo. You gave a very good description. Thanks.
Sno - Did you ever have another cryo test? It is always good to get a copy of your test results. The % and when it appears is useful too. I got my test about 7-8 months into tx. It was .6% and showed up on the third day. One month post tx it was totally negative. Yippee!
I hope you stay well and the new drugs do the trick for you. How are you feeling otherwise? How long did you tx? I am 3.5 mo post, tx 48 weeks and can't remember a dad blasted thing. My mind is about half shot. I have good moments but I never expected this much brain fog to last this long.

sorry I only know I tested positive for it, but that explaned alot of what I felt before TX. My first doc thought my arm numbness and pain (left arm) was heart related so before I could start TX I had to go thru 2 stress test with dye then my thyroid test came back bad on the first test and ok on the second finally was able to start TX and all the numbness and pains I was having went away. I have a little bit back now after 10 months post TX but still feeling pretty good my VL was half a million last time I checked (lower than ever)would like to wait for drugs with better odds,as long as the cryo is sleeping I think I can wait it out/// QUIET don't want to wake it up later
Raynaud's disease
Raynaud's disease is more than simply having cold hands and cold feet, and it's not the same as frostbite. Signs and symptoms of Raynaud's depend on the frequency, duration and severity of the blood vessel spasms that underlie the disorder. Signs and symptoms include:
You need to either get to (or call) your doctor or Emergency Room asap.
Good luck
yep you should call your doc. It could be cryoglobulinemia,about 50 percent of people with hep c has it but only some get the sides.My doc thinks that most of hep c sides come from this.I have it and it got pretty bad before TX vanished during TX and only a little bad now even though I relapsed pretty quick after TX,been about 10 months post TX now.
still in the chill and wait mode.
