HELL YEAH YOU DID IT!! It kicked my ass but but I did it too.Your taste will come back your butt will feel better, rash took about a week and I generaly felt soo much better. The drug company that checked in with me once a week said CONGRATES! you are one of the 58% that made it though.. for me it was truly Medieval..

GOOD FOR YOU!

Awesome Bouba and Nothern,  high FIVE  to you both, it took about 4 weeks for my taste buds to come back but as Vern stated you'll notice  in the first week change is a commin , I did not have to deal the RASH just dry patches of skin and itching.. This part of the journey is done put a fork in it.. keep moving forward the rest is down hill... all the best MJ

PS I preach the probiotics they really work for the back side but if you have fissures or other gastro issues  this can be unberable... hope things heal quickly

It took about a week after Incivek to notice a change. A tad more energy and a huge sense of gratitude that I didn't have to deal with the 20 grams of fat. With our immune system being depressed, healing rashes and skin conditions takes much longer. Now is the time to keep using creams, get as much rest as you can and start putting more healthly foods into your diet.

So glad you are finished with that part of the treatment. Most have said it gets much easier once you are off of the incivek. Hope you start feeling better real soon!

I completed last Thursday. The rash is still there. Itching, as well as in the reaR. Drinking at least 3-3.5 litres a day to cleanse the system.
Any idea how long it takes to wash the Incivek toxins away?

Took my last pills today. I can't wait for the pain to go away now. I had to go to the ER a couple of days ago because of the pain. Per the MD, I'm pretty tore up down and I may need a surgical intervention to fix things. I didn't get the rash but I guess I'm one of the 10% that has a extreme Rx to anal area.
