What is the average lifespan, prognosis for systemic amyloidosis??
i am a little nervous because of what i have read...........i have previously taken the ribovarin/interferon treatment with no success. I am ready to try again, but would like to hear more about the side effects others have dealt with on the inciveck.............i understand not everyone goes through the same thing but all feedback is welcome. Thank you.
at week 11 the liver doc started the prednisone which saved the treatment. perhaps if the PA had taken the rash more seriously i would not have had to stop the incevik,. the vomiting needs to be controlled. i was prescribed promethazine, an antihistamine, for the nausea. folks on this board and my primary doc think that zofran is a better choice. i also found ginger tea helpful with the nausea. most here report feeling better after the incevik is completed.

The rash of secondary syphilis can actually become more prominent after treatment than beforehand. However, that usually is brief, and normally the rash of syphilis would be completely gone within 1-2 weeks. So most likely the red spots are not at all related to your syphilis. If they persist and you are convinced they are new, show them to your doctor.
Sorry about my miss spelling! Eye sight is shot!
Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be dermatitis skin, contact dermatitis or heat rash. Keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Oral antiinflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful apart from steroid creams. If the symptoms are severe then it will be best to consult a dermatologist.
There is currently no known cure for keratosis pilaris, however, there are effective treatments available which make its symptoms less apparent. Treatment includes tretinoin or Triamcinolone cream or Adapalene, a retinoid medication. Exfoliation, intensive moisturizing creams, creams and lotions containing alpha hydroxy acids and urea may be used to temporarily improve the appearance and texture of affected skin.
Continue application for 2 weeks after the rash disappears. The cause for persistence is that the treatment is often left in between. Meanwhile test for blood sugar level to see if it is high for diabetes too can prevent resolution of fungal infection.
If within 14 days there is no improvement, then consult a skin specialist for a reassessment of diagnosis. This rash that appears on nose, cheek and crevice between nose and cheek can be a discoid rash of lupus.
On the other had, Incivek can cause more rash problems. (SOC causes rash too, but the Incivek compounds the rash and can, in rare instances, cause severe rash problems and systemic involvement.) Incivek also has the potential for anal problems.
You take Incivek for 12 weeks along with Peg and Riba. Then you stop Inc and continue with Peg Riba.
You do a 4 week Peg and Riba lead in with Vic, then add Vic at week 5 and continue through Tx. So you take Vic longer than Inc.
You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin.Also wear cotton undergarments.Application of mild corticosteroid cream and oral antiinflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful.If the symptoms are severe then it will be best to consult a dermatologist.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
I have been on treatment for 6 months now and have many side affects. My hair is falling out really bad and is very noticeable. But my question is does the treatment also give you rashes on your elbows real bad??
Any advice for the first day of treatment and what to expect? I have the 20 grams of fat thing down. Just worried about how sick I will be. I know we are all different and react differently.. Any hints on how to get through this? Have gotten so much good info from watching all of you. I just signed up to your community. So, any and all info would be great. Going to get meds for the triple threat today. Have geno4, and starting with the incivek. Thanks, and God bless all of you.
