Hi Teri, The dry itchy skin in normal. I believe that is caused by the liver being compromised. Gary is probably bothered by fatigue and night sweats too. How long ago did he contract it? Do you know what the genotype is? By any chance are the lesions close to where he injected Interferon? Did he clear the virus? A skin biopsy of the lesion might be a good idea. I've been guzzling CS for several years and haven't experienced anything like ringworm lesions. I doubt if it has anything to do with it. Have Gary contact me off line if he wants to. Also I think Jason might have some information.
Best wishes, Andy From: Teri Johnston Hi, My other half Gary a NYC fireman was diagnosised with Hep C shortly before 9/11 and he was treated with Interferon and Ribaviran for 6 months. He has always had dry skin patches. Around 5 months ago I purchased a CS generator from Trem. Gary has been drinking around 8 oz of 15ppm CS daily. Around a month ago he developed another skin condition that in the onset looked similar to ringworm but not a perfect circle and much larger than a ringworm lesion. His dermatologist of course wanted him to discontinue CS but he hasn't. Now he has 4 of these lesions. The dermatologist has no idea what it could be and now wants to biopsy it. I'm wondering if it could be a parasite that the cs is working on eliminating, or since Hep C tests only indicate that it is undetectable that this is a way the body is ridding itself of the remnants of the Hep C virus. Any ideas. P.S. Gary itches terribly and it wakes him up at night every night. Lack of sleep is really dragging him down. Teri Johnston
