Are you experiencing the rash on your face? I hope you are feeling better. Just the normal rash I have is hard enough to deal with. I know how you feel. Be better....Steve

Yes I am finished with Incivek and currently on 1200 RIBA and 1600 interferion. I have had the virus for over 40 years. I am at stage 4. Lucky I was never a drinker, probably wouldn't be here. I am currently undetectable which is keeping me going along with family. Steve

Man, it sounds intense. I hope you can get some relief soon.

And I really hope the tx is a success this time. Are you on the triple therapy this go round?

Hi thanks for responding. I have had a rash for the last 36 weeks. Ever since I started. Never on my face though. It is usually on my back, chest and legs. On my face it burns and doesn't itch. My lips feel like they are going to crack open Every where else it itches. This is my third time on treatment and I never had rash on my face.

Hi Steve! I agree with wilsondog. My nurse is always telling me if I get a rash to call her immediately.

Has anyone experienced swollen lips and rash on the face. It is very painful. I would like to quit taking the meds. 12 more weeks might as well be a year. Steve
