Thanks Tig. 

I too am leaning towards massive die off and inflammation. I have a call in to my PAC at specialist office to just confirm. I don't take many meds and I never react normally to them. I will push through regardless. It is just nice to know what is going on. Mallani's explanation makes sense.

Thank you again. Just keepin' on.smile

Hi Jeanno,

Our esteemed member Mallani (Malcolm) posted some information on liver pain and it remains one of my go to explanations for people having this issue. I hope it helps describe what's going on.

Mallani stated:

"Liver pain is a pretty vague symptom. The only sensory nerves supply the liver capsule and biliary system. So, liver pain should only occur when the liver capsule is stretched (eg from inflammation), or from gallbladder disease.

Many HCV patients claim to experience vague liver pain or 'discomfort' or 'heaviness'. Many docs dismiss this with 'the liver doesn't feel pain'. There certainly would be a psychological element in some patients. When patients start Rx for HCV, there is an initial massive destruction of virus, which can cause hepatocyte damage. This probably causes an acute inflammatory reaction with some liver swelling, and slight rise in liver enzymes. It is no wonder that such patients feel some liver pain or discomfort. This usually settles over the few weeks of Rx.

As Rx goes on, patients are very aware of their liver- a slight muscle twinge becomes liver pain. If Rx is being successful (undet's), there should be no inflammation and no real cause for liver pain.

Any severe or persistent pain should be investigated as gallstones and cholecystitis can occur."

I am on Day #7. I woke up with a significant rash on my chest this morning and itch a lot. I am thinking it is just the toxins. I also have really increased upper right quadrant pain. I know this is my liver, but I haven't had this much discomfort bordering on pain for quite a while. 

I would love some feedback on thishmm

Thanks.
