I'm almost to the two month mark and I "think" I "noticed" my skin
tone changing.
Over a month ago I noticed some splotchiness here and there but today
my face "definitely" "seemed" to be more sallow (almost "yellow"). Is
something like this in the realm of "normal"?

My skin color turned to a ghostly pallor for the majority of my 48 weeks of
tx. I also suffered from severe anemia which could have contributed to my
loss of color.

I really wasn't gonna worry too much since I'm pourin' all these drugs
into my body but it's good to get even one confirming response...

You certainly need to keep an eye on things but on the other hand you need
to temper that with the fact that you're really stressing your system by "
pourin' all these drugs into my body" and at least in my case all the
significant side affects were gone within 3 months of completing tx.

Same here Tom &  Alex, I don't like the look at all.  My hct has
dropped even lower this week so my NP wants me to cut back on my
interferon dosage, the Procrit is keeping me upright but sapping my
energy.
