Itching and Hep C...AGAIN

Posted By Michael S on April 22, 1999 at 23:05:41
Hi....i received a liver transplant in August of 1998.  Unfortunately the Hep C came back real quickly and i need another transplant so ive been relisted.  It seems that once again, the "Itching" associated with my Hepatitis C Is actually driving me crazy.  I spoke with the doctors at Mount Sinai and ive tried Benadryl, ActiGall and another medicine (very odd effects so i discontinued this one immediately) and NOTHING HELPS!!! Occasionally "Sarna" cream helps, but it seems to be getting worst.  I heard of a thing called "photo Sensitivity" that might help.  What do you know about this and also what do you know about Hep C and Itching and ALSO THE MEDICINES TAKEN AFTER Tx and Itching.  Im told some of This itching (this time around) can be from some of the meds.  If you know of ANYTHING at all that may alleviate this at all, im willing to try anything!!  Thanks and W/B Soon!!       Michael
