Side effects after Incivek is over?

[taccs4]

I am about to begin week 8. I was just curious to see if any of you have already wrapped up your 12 weeks of Incivek. If so, did your side effects get any better? Since I have to treat 48 weeks I have been counting down the days until the Incivek is over and hoping that things will get a little easier once this part is over. Thanks!

Just be sure to take your peg shot and rib on an evening when you'll have two days off work.  By the third day, you'll be doing better.

I got hemorrhidal medicated wipes at Wal Mart.  Using these is about as painful as anything else, but at least when you're finished, you can pretty sure that you're clean.  The pain should subside in a little while because all the fecal material has been removed.  To prevent firerrhea, I have taken Immodium.  The down side to that is that you get somewhat constipated, but at least you can get through your work day without fearing a really painful discharge.  For me, firerrhea was the most difficult part of Incivek treatment.  I finished Incivek four days ago.  I feel better, but the firerrhea is slow to leave.  I wish you the best of luck with your Incivek treatment.

Try nupercainal it's a miracle.   My surgeon gave me a script 6 years ago for treating acute, inoperable hemerroids), I have purchased  with script and otc. Read the warnings use as recommended. This works great when you are forcing razor blades through the grape pods on your but.

I think my worst potty sessions occur when less fat is taken with the Poison Pink Pills. Absorbing more Incivek leaves less material to cause the fire down below.

After about a week with the metal taste I was cleaning an old silver coin by rubbing between my thumb and fore finger. After a few minutes my taste had become a lot more normal. Then saw where zinc is used for this problem.

Thank you everyone who has kept this thread alive! I have not been feeling very encouraged. I am so glad I stumbled upon this thread. I took my last Incivek on Friday and was hoping that I would feel at least a little better!. Mostly in my case I am hoping to be less Anemic.

Already today I am not having as difficult time trying to catch my breath and I can walk (rather than crawl) up the stairs. As I look back I simply cannot believe my driving. It was dangerous and irresponsible to drive with slow reflexes, no oxygen and no focus. About a week ago I almost got in an accident. It would have been my fault. I still cannot get the petrified expression of the other driver's face out of my mind. I have not had that close a call in over 20 years!

My Hgb was 10.2 on week 8 and I figure it may have dropped a little lower in the past four weeks. I had my 12 weeks labs on Friday so I will find out then.

I have been through the Peg/Riba treatment before so I know I am not out of the woods.

For me the rash stayed about the same for a week and was mostley gone after 2-3 weeks. Try ice packs on the worst areas.
