I am on Victrelis (Boceprevir)

[arlenedupee]

My question is I am at week forty on Hep-C meds and the taste if different to me. Liver area is still in a lot of pain and a big rash on my back on the side of the liver.  I am really puzzled an in pain has anyone had similar problems, oh and just no hungry but like a lot of liquids..

Teh reash is quite common, you should get it checked out by your doctor, don't let it get to bad.

Everything does taste different while on treatment. That changes though afterwards then watch out for the weight gain. Since Hep-C or treatment should not cause you any liver pain you should get this checked out.

Best to you from a Victrelis patient that is now SVR

Arlene, no I am not familiar with the pain.  I can definitely relate to the taste thing though.  I am on week 30 of Victrelis and everything tastes wacky and I can't figure out what it is.  I still eat, but it just tastes odd -- kind of vinegar and sugary.  

What has your doctor said about the rash around your liver and the pain?  I would like to know.
