a and/or - Question about Cryoglobulinemia

[Guest guest]

Hello again! Sorry I haven't been posting - been flat on my back!

Anyhow, finally got a test to get a #. My viral load is 810,000 which

puts me over the high mark at 800,000. Just peachy and I did test

positive on my cryoglobulins. I am assuming that my finger problem is

related to the cryoglobulins which is kinda scarry. Don't want

gangrene! Anyhow, my question is about treatment other than the

treatment for hep c. Any info on cryoglobulinemia treatment would be

greatly appreciated!!!!!!! I see the rheumy on the 21st. and the

gastroenonologist (however ya spell it) in May. Right now, I am kinda

in shock again. I wish everyone well and wishing each and everyone a

great day! Thanks. Take care. Kim

My understanding is that cryoglobulemia is treated by treating the HCV.
