I've had every side effect assoc. with Interferon monotherapy and some newies:low white counties, low hemoglobin, itches, flu, headaches, and dry retching and vomiting. About 4 weeks ago I managed to deglove my 1st and 2nd toes while riding my low resistance bike whilst diung hemodialsis , somethingn I've done for 4-5 years to mobilise PO4 from bone stores into bloodstream, to get rid of this toxin. I've never hurt myself before but this time did a doozy on the big toe which was surgically debrided and the 2nd toe was surgically amputated. Have been in nand out of hospital and am getting daily dressings and 2 different antibiotics at home now. The pegasys hasn't helped with the healing - because of the neutropenia. Tho' it all appears to be gettingn a bit better now so forgive me my friends for not keeping up with you. SO MUCH FOR HEALTH, love Mindy xxx

I'm glad the antibiotics are showing signs of healing.
What about tx, did you ever finish it.
I remember last year you being on a study or something?
You swam a lot, being it was so warm out there in your corner of the world.

It has been a long time, I hope and pray that you will be ok.
