Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 My clotting and INR #'s have been great/normal as long as I have been dx with PSC. I basically just have severe extreme itching...and with that comes scratching, opening up sores, etc. Last night, I had a pinpoint scab on my neck that itched and I scratched it and blood started pouring out of it. By the time I jumped off the couch and made it to the bathroom, my hand was full of blood. I used about 20 kleenex's, ice cubes and 45 minutes later finally got the bleeding to stop. If that didn't scare me, today while at work on the phone, my upper arm itched and I scratched. I didn't think I scraped open a scab, but I felt the wetness from blood and when I looked blood was pouring down my arm. Needless to say I am freaked out now because during the night and subconsciously I am scratching everywhere and am afraid I will hit another bleeder. I have called my transplant coordinator and left a message about that and whether I need some bloodwork drawn. Has anybody else had these similar experiences. Normally I don't freak about bleeding, but this wasn't normal and the amt of blood last night was enough to make me lightheaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
