1986676 tn?1329862471 Although my rash was largely a severe reaction to the Incivek, he wanted to give my body a chance to clear the majority of the rash. We could not rule out the role that the ribavirin and the interferon may have played in my allergic reaction to treatment. As a side note, the rash is not entirely resolved. The place on my right arm that we suspected might be an injection site reaction, continues to grow in size - every time I have a shot, although i am taking those in the belly now.
Avatar n tn I think the SOC is every 2 weeks at first and less later if all is well. The main reason for CBCs is that the blood can tank so fast - both white counts and red counts - and you need to be aware of what is happening. I think the once a week CBCs are a good idea. Have you discussed with your doctor what happens if the WBC or RBC go down too low?
Avatar f tn Surprisingly, for recovery, it does. Most of us lounge around for so long while withdrawing that even a walk to the car can be excercise. Your making progress.
419964 tn?1333301906 Well the stretching routines may be a good place to start"! Certainly going to give it a go! What about the others?
3159290 tn?1384128440 well its like this: i went to uams in little rock arkansas for help with the type 1 stage 4 hep c for a year and a half. after that time i asked the dr. why i haven't been put on pegasus and he said he was afraid it might kill me due to having an ammonia attack 8 months pryor. i stated the fact to him that i had been given 3 to 4 years to live and i would rather die from trying to put this disease "under arrest" than to die from.
Avatar n tn What are you taking along with the Pegasus? Though neither tx is easy, I found the Pegasus to be much easier on my body, mind than the Pegintron. Have you had a biopsy to see how your liver is doing?
Avatar n tn Will the Pegasus work without CoPegasus, I'm getting alot of side effects, I cant sleep and itchy rash's, I can handle the Pegasus alone but the Copegasus makes me feel bad. My liver function test are normal. Has anybody gotten rid of the hep without it?
Avatar f tn s any other way to help it other than remove it through surgery, and like Pegasus, surgery is the last thing i want. Especially considering im only 18.
Avatar f tn Hi, I'm new here, and my husband is in his 10th month of treatment. Just had his second transfusion, and he isn't bouncing back. They upped his procrit, and he has had to stop taking ribavirin again. He's still on a half dose of pegasus and his viral count is undetectable. His doctor said he hated to pull the rug out from under him last visit, and it looks like I"m going to have to take him before his next visit. I think he may need another transfusion soon.
Avatar m tn Just got my Pegasus and co Pegasus.Was hoping just for just the Pegasus, But there was a study that said non responders faired no better than responders on there study. Why this applies to me I do not know. I am a relapser. This cost the insurance company big money. Any Ideas? At stage 4 i have no time to wait. Have had the same issues getting into the studies. Relapser. Life can be hard at times.
Avatar m tn I I will be taking pegasus soon.can my wife be subjected to any of the drug through oral sex with me ?not a joke question.
Avatar f tn t want to spend lots of money on something specifically for a nursery so went with a style that blends with our lounge furniture. My son is nearly 2 and it has been in the lounge as an additional chair for at least 1 year now. It will go back into the nursery when baby arrives. I found that there are so many things people recommend you have but they all cost so much money, cause storage issues or don't last long enough to get value for money!
Avatar f tn Cross sensitivity is extremely high between the two if we are applying the same definition. They both encode for almost the same amino acids and very little difference will be observed concerning side effects, severity, etc. I hope this answers your question.
Avatar f tn About two months ago somehow my ins. got some wrong info they said no to the meds they have been given me since Aug 2007 so i had to get to the bottom of it. It was a nightmare. the ins company said they didn't deni the claim and the caremark said they didn't deni the claim. I was getting desperate I was still takin the meds. I called caremark to see how it was if I paid for it.he said for a month of the meds it was about $2700.00 thank God my claim did come through.

Avatar f tn Hi I am Viktoriya.First week of treatment with PEGASUS and COPEGUS -feel very bad :fever, headaches, body hearts like- flu but stronger,feeling dizzy. Is it getting better after first week??
Avatar n tn Yes different sized Peg molecule is very interesting but which is better no one knows, the seem to work about the same, I did both relapsed on Pegasus 24 weeks tx. Svr on pegintron 48 weeks tx. I think the most important thing is that they are both good meds and one may work better depending on the body chemistry of each person. Pegintron is smaller so maybe it can get into places that Pegasus can’t no one knows for sure.
862235 tn?1336060295 Which one would you all recommend she go on, the Incivek 12 weeks plus Pegasus 48 or the 44 weeks Victrelis plus Pegasus 48? I think the Incivek has a few more sides but a better success rate. Is that true. Do patients with a lot of Incivek sides normally improve after the 12 weeks? Any info to help in the choice would be great.
1583226 tn?1297766675 I suddenly realised I had cracked lips etc and it was very hot at the lounge with tempreture souring to 30c in London Uk. And I ended up with a cold sore. This is the secound time in my life I've had it to my collection. I assume maybe because of the heat and from lack of sleep that day it must have triggered it etc or maybe from sharing pipes etc. Now I've started thinking I've had cracked lips what are the chances of someone contracting HIV???
Avatar f tn Since my husband suffers from heavy chills, we transfer about 1/3 cup of the cream from the gallon container to a glass cup and warm it in a small crock pot prior to him stepping in the shower. Heating the cream also makes it easier to spread on the skin. My husband uses no soap anywhere on the body but the armpits. He takes short showers only every second or third day. Not an ideal hygienic model, but he is clean and literally comfortable in his skin, and shows no rash whatsoever.
Avatar m tn 6 million and started with Pegasus and Ribovarin Therapy at third month my pcr become –ve I left the treatment after 24 injection but after 35 days of breakthrough when pcr become +ve I started the treatment again . now I getting Pegasus and Ribovarin Therapy . my question is that at this moment I have taken 28 injection .
Avatar f tn Taking something like Tylenol Paracetamol before the shot often helps ease some of the side effects. The worst tend to last to a few hours or days after the shot. Since he already took the shot maybe he could take the Riba anyway just to see if he feels better. Meanwhile you could perhaps contact his treating physician and see if there is anything he can suggest until your husband's body gets used to the drugs.
