My exposure Europe  military service hospitialized 1970 16 weeks
Veterans would not provide theraphy as my load was critical.
Instead they assigned me to La Roche case study administered by VA, WITH ME ACCEPT FULL LIABILITY EVEN THOUGH IT IS DEEMED SERVICE CONNETED.

SUSPECT EARLY HCC YET THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE EITHER WAY, i AM SICK BEEN SICK FOR YEARS.
ANY OPINION WOULD BE GREAT APPRECIATED, AS THE VA says there are no other options for me case study ends 11 weeks.

What a reward for good behavior all year, eh?  Damn, sorry to hear about your itching agony.  I found the Atarax marginally helpful, but  was leery of overusing the cortisone cream I was prescribed, as it works by reducing blood flow to the affected area and ends up thinning the skin.  So I basically just waited it out & went quietly out of my mind.   Wish I could think of something more constructive for you.  Hang in there!

I was prescribed Atarax for my face/eye irritation and it works very well. I only take one or two a day when needed. The dermatologist who deals with people on Tx, prescribed it. it might help you guys...

Hi Honey, I am about 7 1/2 Months Post Tx., and Unfortunately I still have the rash. The only place I still have it though is right behind My Right Ear. I have tried every anti inch cream known to man, but no matter what I do, it will not go away. I to, am afarid that it is going to cause scarring, because I scratch it all the time.

While on Tx I also had the rash starting around the third month, but it would just come & go, now it seems to want to stay with me. My main Problem is Nausea, it started when the rash came back, about 4 months after Treatment. Guess all we can do is wait, & see if it goes away. Wow, I never knew these weird sides would continue, even after TX.

Let me know if you find some relief, I am willing to try anything...LOL

Have a Wonderful Day

Sorry to jump into this thread but all questions filled for the day. Is anyone else out there having terrible skin rashes. First 6 months of tx,,,I had hardly any rashes,,,2nd 6 months,,,Rash started,,,here and there,,,not bad.  Last month of tx,,,My rash really accelerated and now am 1 week post and its bad.  I have received creams from the doctor,,taken aveeno baths for the itching,,used lavender spray,,have the humidfier on at night! It is now looking like psorarosis (sp) Seems like now that I'm off the meds,,,it would start clearing instead of break out more. I have scratched myself through many clothes the past week or two and this is getting old,,,quick.  Anybody else experiening this or having it,,,,And does it eventually clear without scarring to skin?

"WHAT ARE THE RISK//? fibrosis III/IV EARLY CHIRRIOS"
not clear what you need. You are treating for how long?
do you want to extend? Please calm down and try to clarify your question. take a deep breath before starting...;-}
