Hep C related vasculitis
I have had Vasculitis which I found out 6 months ago was related to Hep C. I will be participating in the new Phase 111 trial within the next year. Hopefully, addressing the systemic problems will address the vasculis as well. Currently I am on my 3rd Embrel shot in hopes of keeping the vasculitis under control until the trial. So far, little improvement. Do this sounds like a resonable approach by my Rhumatologist. Also, is there any way to topically treat the vasculitis lesions to reduce the pain. If you can't help me, could you point me in the right direction on this site for some help?
Thank you so much...I'm losing hope.

Is Vasculitis related to hemangiomas? Are they the same thing?

It sounds like you should talk to the rhematologist about the pain. There are numerous medications like cymbalta that can help neuropathic pain, but I cant tell if that is it. Treating the HCV is the best option. I am glad you are hopeful! DTD
