Just using a traditional mouthwash like Listerine or Biotene 3 times a day will help clear the current crop of mouth sores.  A lidocaine swish can suppress the pain long enough to allow eating.  I always painted it in the sore area and washed it off my tongue if I got it there (didn't want to accidentally bite myself when eating with a totally numb mouth). They'll go away but they will likely come back as WBC jumps around.

Wow!  

Maybe it is because I am 52, but I've felt so ill while on treatment that the thought of sex makes me want to puke.  I have a G-friend whom I've had a friendship and brief sexual relationship with off and on for over 34-years but at this point only friendship.  Oh for the energy!

Viagra is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor used to treat sexual function problems such as impotence or erectile dysfunction. In combination with sexual stimulation, Viagra works by helping the blood flow into the penis to achieve and maintain an erection. Viagra will not protect against sexually transmitted diseases including HIV infection. Use "safe sex" practices such as latex condoms. Contact http://femigra.viagranow.eu  for more details about Viagra.

Just a comment on the finger splits, which can be extremely painful and frustrating!!!  The only thing that really ever worked well for me when I had frequent, and deep finger splits was different brands of "Liquid Bandaid"   If you paint some on the split, let it dry for five minutes, then paint on another layer, it ends up sealing the wounds with an airtight, watertight, and hard plastic coating, that stops the pain, and helps the healing process.  All the skin cremes and ointments only made my finger splits softer and more vulnerable to bleeding.  I think they come from within, due to systemic skin cell changes, and must be dealt with like a wound.  Try different types of liquid bandaid to find the one that provides the hardest, most quick drying layer of protection.  I also found that some had less intense smell than others, but I guess the odor comes with the territory.

Good Luck!

Why don't you print out 'some' of the forum commentary for your hubby, that is, the non-depressing, helpful, upbeat, optomistic ones!  There's no reason he should not be able to benefit from the forum, and the strong support and knowledgable voices found here!

try 3M skin crack repair for the skin splits, it helps a lot. Use a good quality moisturizer with Urea and petroleum jelly as needed. depression comes from feeling like **** day in and day out...but it is a temporary discomfort to a permanent solution.

Thank you for advise. He is a vegetarian.
Spicy food is out of question, but even the process of swallowing hurts a lot. Even drinking water.
He started tx at 220 lbs, now he is down to 198. He is 6'2.
Baby food is an option, I haven't thought about it.
Thanks again

Sorry, but just the thought of eating a blended hot meal makes me want to hurl my tacos. I hope I don't get sores. Is this prevalent when on tx?

I am also a vegetarian.  When I was on treatment, the only food I liked was bread and ice cream.  Lost about 12# during treatment, but it's all coming back (boo hoo) now that I've been off treatment for a couple of months.  Maybe the ice cream would make his mouth feel better and numb it at the same time!  Also, there is another mouthwash which I can't remember the name of.  A lot of people here use it, but it just isn't coming to me at the moment.  Maybe someone will log on and give you the name of it.  They say it is very helpful for the mouth sores.

Thank you all. I read your postings every day, but he doesn't want to read them, thinks that they are too depressing.
There is no way we are stopping the treatment. He is 2 B, so the chances are great.
However, being in constant pain causes him to feel depressed, isolated and irritable.
There is also skin breaks, especially on fingers. Hair loss.
Insomnia. He takes Ambien, but it's highly addictive.
So it's the story. I am trying to stay positive.

how about baby food...or blending up dinner (a meat, potato,vegie)...or protien shakes...i think you need a nutritionist...because not eating can actually be bad for your liver...if some one is malnurished it can cause fatty liver...

try in blender:

turkey or chicken
gravy
sweet potato
cranberry
vegie

or

meatloaf or beef
mashed potato
gravy
vegie

or

tofu
rice
vegie
sauce
almonds or cashews

I had  sores & cuts around the corners of my mouth & it was an ordeal while eating. I used refrigerated Ensure Plus liquid nutrition to restore my depleted calories while on Tx. This liquid provides a good daily vitamin intake as well which is missed by not ingesting solid foods. I was also on Tx for 24 weeks & beat this virus since genotype 2 and 3 are easier to annihilate in comparison to others.
Pls let your boyfriend stay the course of Tx.....he has an 80% chance of clearing this DEMON.
Good luck all,
Ben
