Desperate! Ribavirin Acidosis
by maylilly, Jul 22, 2008 09:22PM
I just took my 24th PGINF 2a shot, am halfway through tx, 800 mg riba/day. I have painful acidosis and don't know if there is anything I can do to help it. I have had this since the beginning of tx, but is is extremely painful and worse now. My doc has prescribed Levsin and Nexium. Nexium makes my joints hurt, so I stopped taking it. Does anyone know of anything I can do or take to make me able to exist w/out pain and GI inflamation?
Thanks in advance.

Good luck in finding something that works for you and gives you relief.

But I was just wondering if you are taking your Riba with food and enough fat?
I hope that you will feel better soon.

Antacids are out because of the calcium so I'm sorry I have no other suggestions other than limiting the amount of spicy and high fat foods you consume and making sure you eat every time you take the riba. Good Luck
