I just found this thread. After following the doc's links I wonder if I have Cryoglobulinemia (creepy name
).
One week into sof/dac I got a single purple blotch on my shin that grew to the size of a crumpet, was insanely itchy, hot, and red turning to purple. It lasted a couple of weeks and vanished. I put it down to the meds.
Around New Years, week 11, several more appeared on my upper back and shoulders. I remember the first one distinctly, I was in Aldi, and thought a spider had hidden in my shirt... until several more appeared in the next few days. It was nearly EOT and I was probably over-treating by about 4 weeks anyway. So I put it down to the meds.
And now, to celebrate SVR12, some beauties have appeared mid-back and smaller versions on left arm. Can I still put it down to the meds?
Creatinine is still on the low side, any relevance?
