Everything Smells Strange

[Revalation]

Has anyone experienced a change in their sense of smell while on tx.

There is a room in my house that I can't enter without being offended by the smell of the room.
My eyes dry and throat burns.

Also, I think my skin smells funny no matter how much I wash.
I've tried washing in baking soda to try to get rid of the smell.
Additionally, when I wash clothes the clothes smell funny to me.

Could  this be my imagination or what?

Yes, it IS Victrelis! Sorry, got mixed up - hadn't become part of my regime yet so got the name confused. :-)

Are you sure it is not Victrelis you are starting? This is dosed after the 4 th
week lead-in of Peg /Riba  just before the 5th injection..

Sounds like this might be the case...

I don't know ... I am just following doctor orders. I had a nurse come out for 2hr training last Thursday when I did the first injection and started the Ribavirin ... but was told I won't be starting the Incivek until week 5. Where did you find out they should all be started together? yikes. :-(

Too weird! I'm just getting ready to take my 2nd injection on Thursday - haven't even started the Telaprivir yet

Why have you not started taking the Incivek yet?  Dosing is prsecribed starting all three drugs together?
