Thanks for the tips. I have been drinking cranberry juice and lots of water and that seems to be helping. Four weeks to go on the Incivek. If I can only hold off this rash.

I don't know if cranberry juice helped me during Infections but it always made me feel better. Changes the PH of the bladder. I used to mix it with apple or another juice. I used to get UTI's often 10 years ago or so and stones...lots of kidney stones. Don't know what I am doing different now but can happily say I haven't had any of either in several years.

Tea tree oil is good for a lot of things but (holds my nose) sure is stinky lol

Hope your holding out on the rash Kellie. UND at 4 is great!

Riba doesn't help with the itching. I have been off the tele for a few weeks now and no visable rash but still itch like crazy hmm

Hi Joanneh, it's good stuff, I've been using a cream for my tele rash. It worked in the beginning - Now I just use it to keep the rash from getting infected, doesn't do much for the itch.  It's really bad - for a week now. I"ll see the NP on Tuesday. She mentioned giving me a shot of Kenalog to keep the fire down. Trying to hold on long enough to make have a better shot at SVR. I see you've had HCV about most of your life too. Are you UND now?

Cranberry juice and more water is the only thing that helped me. I had a couple of glasses of juice every day. Don't drink too much though, it'll give you early exit problems on the other side. I tried some of the cranberry pills and I guess they helped some but nothing is as good as old fashioned cranberry juice.

Of my mouth.

Hey there Pasco M

Yes I had this problem also 1st or second week of triple tx. Nothing showed in the test - doc said healthy as a horse -purchased "Tea Tree Therapy", Vaginal Suppositories. Worked well for me. It just kinds of saturates the area down there- Haven't had a re-occurrence since. I've had this mystery problem in the past and it worked for me back then too. Do some research on Tea Tree Oil - I think it's good stuff -  I hope this helps - anything to make one more comfy at this time is a good thing.  Best, Kellie

Type 1 8 weeks into triple therapy treatment Viral load undetectable at 4 weeks.

At the end of six weeks on triple therapy I developed a burning in my urinary tract. My Dr. had me get a UA which showed no problem. The problem continues through my 7th and now into my 8th week.

Has anyone else encountered or heard of this problem?
