2nd treatment

2nd Treatment is in the books. I feel good with out any side effects yet. The only problem i'm having is with the Incivek, it is tearing up my anus. I eat at least 20 gms of fat 20 minutes prior to taking the med but it is still ruff, it's like eating a jar full of Jalapenos and passing them the next day. Has anyone else experienced this and if so any advice to ease the pain.

It is a very common side effect for incivek, to me the incivek seems to leave an oily residue that the TP won't take off, so as soon as I'm finished with my business I have been cleaning the area throughly with soap and water then pat dry, then use a tucks pad maybe 2-3 times thoughout the day and it keeps it well under control. If any oily residue is left behind it continue's to burn and for me is quickly noticable.
