I start week 5 this weekend and get the viral load on Monday. My bowels moving great but no bumm issues. My rash has subsided for the most part but still regularly taking rx for overall itching. A few riba bumps now and then but skin has calmed down. I am wondering if anyone has had unusual growths. Before treatment I had this bump under my eye...kinda like a clogged enlarged pore. Since I started treatment, the thing is rapidly growing wider and out. Its like a large skin tag. Dermatologist said it didnt look concerning and will biopsy and remove. Doesnt bother me except it is ugly and growing big enough to notice.

Its official though! My butt has officially widened :ahhh:I could feel it in my pants yesterday. Its sucks. :cry:

I had a sty on my eyelid but it went away in less than a week. A friend of mine said the same thing. Anyone else had this?

You know, now that you mention that, I did have something like a sty.  Went to the doctor and they gave me stuff for pink eye,  never thought it was treatment related.

I had a stye too! It showed up during the first week on my eyelid and I kept a warm washcloth on it for a half hour and it was gone in the  next two days. I had wondered if it was a side effect as I have never had a stye before....interesting.

Immodium seems to help the firerhhea at least it enables me to better control the number of bathroom visits and since things are more solid a lesser area of the bottom is affected

In the past, on treatment, I have gotten the starting of a sty and also very dry eyes. You have to be very careful to stay hydrated. I did have my retina tear, but caught early (due to my Sis, the nurse) so they did out patient laser treatment on it. If I had waited longer, I would have had to have inpatient surgery.
So, everyone, drink lots of liquids.

My eyes itch constantly.  My eye lids are flaking and itching, too.  Weirdest thing I've ever seen.  The edges of my ears, too.  Strange stuff!!

Me too but no flakes. Ear stuff passed. My scalp itching has been driving me nuts though. Better go drink up.
