If you don't treat the rash by quitting tx, what will happen

[MsDragonSlayer]

Has anyone been hospitalized on here or had severe complications from a rash from this triple therapy/ Incivek?  
I can't find any info out on this in the guidelines. Just wondered what the worst case sinareo would be or the best case?
Thanks again and again!

As willbb posted sometimes you have to stop the incivik early, and 11 weeks is barely early. It's already done it's job at this point since you have been und since week 4. I think your doctor is being irresponsible to tell you that you need to tough it out.

You need some attention ASAP. Even if they are giving you attitude call your doctor and tell them what's happening before it gets even more serious.

I was starting my 11th week... in the last 5 minutes it's spread to the palms of my hands, everything except my face and insides of my ears is not covered in a rash. I'm hoping it will subside, took that shot last night too. Nobody can know which drug is doing it if not all f them! How crazy! I just have to let go of this stress. Everything's gonna be ok, I will repeat this mantra and breath deeply.

What week are you on?

I have never heard of anyone ever being hospitalized for the rash - niether the Inc rash or the riba (interferon induced) rash or autoimmune eczema.  

I developed the worst autoimmune eczema towards the end of treatment big oozy welts everywhere (mostly on my face unfortunately).  The derm got it under control in one moment, I should have gone weeks before rather than trying to do it on my own. One cream and it was all cleared up and stopped itching immediately.

Okay, spoke with the doc, I am through with incivek. So...let's hope for the best now! Thanks for your help!

I was hoping to hear from someone that went through my situation. I have done a lot of research. My doctor told me...quote" if you can't tuff this out we are going to have to pull you off incivek." so...I am willing to endure if I have to, I just feel like such a failure. Doc gets in around 9:30 this morning, I WILL call him for sure.

My question was:  Has anyone on this forum been hospitalized for this?

Just wanted to hear from a poster child  ( -_- )
thanks for the feedback, I am having trouble navigating that med site you recommended because my iPad is having trouble scrolling on there.
I need to make it into the office...................upstairs.
