Hepatitis C Support Group
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.

An Incivek hotline nurse told me to take an ice pack and hold it on the itchiest spot on the body for 2-3 minutes... it works... i was up for months holding ice to various spots in the night (in addition to a prescription steroid cream)... no fun, you have my deepest sympathy.

i can show u horror pics of my skin. dermatologist, the whole bit. it would b nice if i could read about it again without scratching. i wish i understood it better. ive had it for 37-38yrs. its the type thats hard to get shed of. i had 50/50 odds. i lost. but my viral load was only 723K this yr. it was 1.3 million i think when i got first tested at 50yrs. y does one liver get so bad, like a viral load of 10million, and another doesnt? i mostly quit hard liquor in my 20s. i drank beer and then whatever when the beer was gone for 32yrs. i could put up an avatar of me giving myself interferon #48. last pitosin pics too. like 20gallons

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
