Day 10 on triple therapy (Incivek)

Hi all,
So Michael is good so far! Little bubbles of rash on his hands (inch diameter) but everything else is really good - so far. A little chill in the night after injection, wonky that next day for a few hours as I posted. But as of Friday all normal. Energy normal. Appetite normal. Sex - normal!!! Living large right now, doing physical stuff that needs to get done while it can get done.
Water yourselves, my tx friends! Water, water, water.
I spoke to a woman on the phone the other day who's husband is in week 7 and he's in crappy shape. Nauseous all the time, can barely choke down what he needs for Incivek, sleeps constantly. But he didn't know he was supposed to drink half his weight in ounces in water?! How the hell could that be??? His doctor didn't say? She said her husband never mentioned that.
Oh boy.
Stay strong all! I'll check in soon.
- glory

My husband used Eucerin body wash in the shower, cooler showers, Eucerin cream after drying off after showers, and tea tree oil on the little blisters.
