It is very difficult to know anything based on what you posted. First, lab ranges even for the different labs in the US differ so without ranges - have no idea if you are low, high or normal. Second - no idea if you are sick or how you are sick. The tests run are not really run for adrenal except DHEA (and that is really more of an adrogen - e.g. it converts to testosterone and estrogen) so not sure why it belongs in this forum.

I'm genotype 1b and on triple tx (24 wks). I finished the incivek and have 10 wks left of ribavirin and peg interferon. I'm still at full 180 mcg peg interferon but down to 400 mg ribavirin. I'm on procrit now so hoping to go up in ribavirin next week. Doctor feels 600 mg should be okay for me. She said because I'm anemic, it shows that I'm at a good level of ribavirin, although I wish it were more. Hopefully next week I can go back up.

· burn more easily · burn more quickly · get hives or rashes · have other skin eruptions Ribavirin Although it is not categorized as a common medication, the antiviral drug ribavirin may cause or enhance photosensitivity. As an integral part of the prescribed treatment for Hepatitis C, some individuals develop a rash from ribavirin – and this side effect can be exacerbated by exposure to intense sunlight or other UV light, such as tanning beds.

A study of nearly 2,000 patients showed that adding ribavirin to the combination of ledipasvir and sofosbuvir had no benefit in treating hepatitis C. Patients taking ribavirin along with the combination were more likely to have adverse side effects to the treatment. The drug approved to treat patients infected with the hepatitis C virus needs no help from other antivirals, according to a study released online this week in the journal Hepatology.

Nobody here is qualified to tell you how to take your medication, only work with your doctor on this. He is the one who is qualified to know what is best for you. We can share our own experiences, but never change anything with your medicine unless your doctor suggests or allows it. Take care.....

As for the ongoing question regarding fat with Ribavirin, I will write what's on the literature I received with the Ribavirin/Pagasys kit.: "Take this medication by mouth, usually twice daily with food for 24 to 48 weeks".... NO mention of fat... " Drink plenty of water while being treated with this medication. Doing so will decrease the risk of serious side effects" "Tooth and gum problems may sometimes occur during Interferon/Ribavirin treatment.

I have finished with Incivek, thank God. I've had my ribavirin reduced to 200 mg a day and will do my 18th peg shot on Friday. The ribavirin was reduced due to my rash. Unfortunately the rash is everywhere again. I have atarax, doxepin and clobitisol. These give minimal relief. Now my hair is just falling out like crazy. To be honest i think i could deal with all of this except the hair thing.
