Hep C Itching

My husband itches from head to toe and the doctors say his viral load is too low for this to be occurring. NOTHING stops the itching, NOTHING. Does any one else have this syptom?

Ya'll are right, you can make yourself anything you want!  Well I made myself a burnett last night!  Now only the meds to blame for my brain fog!  Lots more hair gone and NO GREY!  LOL!

HA that is one way to get rid of the greys huh?  A little bit of interferon and who NEEDS Miss Clairol any longer!  :)

My hair is such straw that I put in conditioner before I go to sleep and hope that this will perhaps keep a little bit from falling out in the morning. Hey if it's cummulative...LOL

Going to order my wig next week for real. It's time. I mean I HAVE some hair but it looks B-A-D bad. Especially since I'm afriad if I had it re-streaked it would explode off of my head!

CanDo is right - viral load has NOTHING to do with anything really it's just a number...the grade and stage of the liver that is determined at a biopsy is EVERYTHING. It's quick and painless believe it or not (we all freaked out at first thinking it'd be horrible).

Knowing your viral load is like knowing your age - it doesn't really tell you anything about where your liver is at though at all.

Only your Grade and Stage and liver panel can really effectively do that.

Can do: love the web site.  Only thing lacking was a nubian.  They are the kind with big floppy ears (actually very pretty goats), and lots and lots of volume... scream all the time..  Have you ever wondered where all the old biker ***** go?  I found em.  Goat shows.  You have to show in dairy white clothes, and tattoos show through.  Never saw so many tattooed women in my life....... a little scary...

dyce-we talking utah?  went to Moab a month or so ago, via salmon air... next week I'll be in vancouver, wa...

_______________________________________________________________

Rog & I had fun last night :} :)!  Gonna go out tonight to dinner w/friends and Sat nite to a party at my best friends new home she just had built, so see i am busy socializing and having a blast......yea right!  Besides, I needed some color, I was looking all washed out, just no color to me at all (although i am a colorful person!)  I am sure after meds and I can get back out in the sun, the sun and chlorine will bleach it right back out.  Just a temp thing......like tx, RIGHT?

nygirl, so tell me all about your new wig!  Short, long, blonde?  Good idea, if you like it well then "YOU GO GIRL"! I am sure it will make you look and feel alot better.  Mine still pretty long just thin, thin, thin.....

OH, and i actually made it a full day at work today.  No one said anything about my hair color.  Men just don't notice things like that......too busy looking down at the (o)(o)'s

Later ya'll!
