Hi, has anyone that has had ribavirin experienced purple bruising anywhere in their body? I hag an itch last night between my thumb & forefinger, I rubbed it with my other thumb fairly lightly to ease the itch & woke up this morning with a massive dark purple coloured bruise about 2" x 2" in size, I've never bruised this easily before & just wondered if its the ribavirin or not?

I'm not really sure, but I knocked my shin in the first few weeks of treatment and the bruise has slightly faded but is still not going away, and it's been two months! 😅 Never thought if this could be from the Ribavirin, but who knows, it's sure strange that it won't go away. I hope you are feeling ok otherwise, and that you feeling the benefits of your dose reduction 🙏🍀🍀🍀🌈🌈🌈
