Right on Margo.  It gets better from here.  Some of the brain fog goes away as well.  In 12 more weeks you'll be feeling better with 10 days of detox under your belt after the Riba starts to wear off.

All the best,  Dave

Today I got a prescription for Lidocane cream, numbs the area and brings great relief for a few minutes. Since the itching might be due to the damage of the nerve endings, I am trying to get a prescription for Lyrica or Symbalta, that relaxes and brings that relief. Keep you updated if it will help for me.

You're not the first person to say their itching got worse during the week following Incivek.  So hopefully this too will pass as it did for them.

Best, dave

Me too Dave (:

This is day 3 post incivek and the sx just got worse... The dreaded itch has no word description, it has gotten beyond horrible. This needle like sensation is getting on my nerves and I practically live on Benadryl that doesn't bring a great relief anymore. Never took drugs, but this feels like a withdrawal. I think it will get worse before it gets better, I hope Incivek did not damage the nerve endings, it feels like shock waves that radiate throughout. I am calling incivek nurse hotline tomorrow to find out it this has been reported and when, when will this end...
