Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I finally went to the gastro last week...it's been several years since I've seen him although the internists have always check my liver enzymes and all has been fine. I've had HepC for 20yrs now along with the other fun autoimmune illnesses...Fibro/CFIDS, etc. It's funny how things change with each year of research and patient experience (I guess). I've always told all my docs about the Mixed Cryo but none of them have seemed to know what it is or didn't care about it...now the Gastro seems as, if not more concerned about the Cryo than the HepC. Then he notices that my fingers are " clubbed " ...could be because of the HepC or having to do with the kidneys, circulatory/heart, pretty much anything. Has anyone had this clubbed fingers and/or toes? Also, he did a viral count, still at 1 million as I was 10 years ago. He also did a AFP test (? fetal protein) which is a tumor marker test...for cancer? Has anyone had this test done? He doesn't want to treat me without another biopsy (it's been 10 years since the last one) because he's worried about the psychiatric issues... I'm still waiting for the blood test results that were supposed to be back last week...I hate the wait!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
