Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
I feel like one of those ducks they fish out of the water and wash with Dawn detergent to get the oil from oil spills off of them! It's gross. I wash my hair, twice, not even any conditioner and the next day it's an oil slick. It's not just a little dirty it's an oily stringy mess. It's not the shampoo. It's me! Not only the hair but my face as well! If I went out in the sun I think I might fry!
Oh and here's a tx. tip- Do not drink chocolate milk with your riba! It's a horrible plan. It sounded so good and I thought it might be ok, even soothing. I was wrong. You know that washing machine feeling you get in your stomach on tx? Well, if you get the washing machine unbalanced and the heavy wet clothes are making the machine walk all over the floor all while still trying to spin? That's chocolate milk + riba. Don't do it! Warning Will Robinson! Danger!
Remind me how I was going to ace this thing called treatment. Last week blew. Man, was I sick!
I think I will go get a sea shell and scrape the oil off my skin like the ancient Greek.

So Elvis, maybe chocolate won't bother you. We're all different. I have always had a 'lead belly'.
The thing that did bother me and still does a little is drinking effervescent stuff like seltzer or ginerale. It burned my mouth.
I didn't get oily hair either, but notice it's thinning alot now (27th wk).
As someone who does hair, I would advise you to use a good shampoo for oily hair and wash very, very gently on a daily basis.You might also try using your conditioner first, then the shampoo. It will still condition your hair, but with a lot less oil left in it.
For your face wash with a mild facial wash and use a oil free toner afterward followed by an oil free moisturizer.
As far as your washing machine( hee hee I love that) I also got sick when I drank milk with the riba, so it may be the milk, it was also first thing in the morning, which was never a good time for me stomach-wise during treatment. I quit drinking milk and take a cacium supplement with Vit. D3 and I eat a lot of yogurt and low fat cheese.
Best, Best, best of luck to you. I hope you finish up treatment and stay undie!! *hugs*
