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.
The last few weeks have been really hard. I cant walk into my building without getting out of breath. And every day at about 4:00 PM I get a low grade fever. Just enough to get achy all over and feel like my brain is not quite connected right. Last for a few hours, then I start to feel a bit better.
And now, I have JOCK RASH. Not your garden variety, high school stuff. But the extra strength, got it in an Eastern European gym, cant cure it with over the counter cream kind. My doctor didnt seem too concerned. Well, its not his balls! They itch like crazy, are red, and have this really funky smell. Im on my second tube of stuff, I thought it was gone, but its baaack! Anyone else ever dealt with this? I've never had it before in my life.
Damn, I want this crap to be over with!
Thanks for letting me vent.

spray. It burns like a Mother #$@%^%. But will clear it up in
a few days.
I'm on my 3rd tube of generic Lotrimin. I'm applying it twice daily. It went away, but then I slacked off and was only putting it on once a day and now it has come back with a vengeance.
I will try the spray.
And Kat, I really didn't expect you to ever have experienced burning balls. :-)

I work as a veterinarian tech for years and one thing I learned: many treatments cross over very very well.
First things first: Shave. As in smooth as a banana' butt.
Second: get this product.

It is typically used in dogs as a drying agent for what we call hot spots.
I use it for all kinds of things. Have you ever been attacked by a hoard of fire ants. This stuff does the trick and since it is topical and is not absorbed systemically then you are not limited to the nber of times per day.
Good luck.
When you can let it all hang out cause fungi don't like the light of day or dry areas.
Hope you feel better soon.....:)
