Hep C Treatment

Don't have much time to post.  Did want to open the thread though.  

I only had mild sides on Sat. after shot #5.  So, far not light headed or weak.  Still watching my hgb wcb.  My nose stopped bleeding finally.  Have to start getting ready for work and kids to school.

Have a great day all,

cajun

too bad you are so far accross the land, girl, or I would drive over and give you a hug, if it didn't make you itch too much.  3-4 days to go for the negative...do go for pain meds though, maybe accupuncture? DO cold or hot compresses help? If you are close to the Pacific, maybe a ride over, on a nice day, can bring some serenity and distraction? Let me know what name you sign on with at skype, ok? I know! you need to come over and feast on canolis! that would do it!
take care, and be good to you, don't torture Ina with so many negative thoughts...

You can find the lotion in any drug store, even Walmart has it that's where I bought it, cheaper. Try to get the green bottle it's stronger. This works great, NY girl got it at Christmas and before that nothing else worked.

Ina,

I'm so sorry your going through this, like anise and forseegood said is there a Dr. you can call that will help you, or another Dr. that you can see.

About the rash-- here's something that has helped many here with their riba rash and myself, it's GOLD BOND - TRIPLE ACTION LOTION--the yellow bottle is regular strength and then there's the green bottle which is extra strenght, that's the one I use.  Put it on after you shower, when you go to bed, when ever you need it, in a few days you'll see a big differents in the rash.  I hope this helps.  

Let us know how you are doing,

  BB

Oh boy....that doesn't sound like fun having residual side effects last that long!  I have one friend who said not to go on the treatment because he still feels bad after a year.  Hopefully, this will not happen to me, as that is one of my fears.  

Eisbein, I am so sorry you are going through that much pain.  Like Forseegood said, can you contact a doctor to have them help you out.  It isn't fair that anyone should go through that much torture.  You deserve much better than that.
