I'm sure you must get Emails from HVC patients
suffering from itching.
For several years my wife suffered debilitating bouts of
itching, and none of the specialists seemed to know what to
do about it except to remark that about 15-20% of Hep C patients
exhibit this symptom.
We discovered a drug called Welchol, which is a cholesterol
lowering drug that removes bile from the gut (it's not processed
by the liver). The effect on my wife was miraculous...she
went from several days per month spent on the couch unable
to move
because of the extreme itching to zero itching and a normal
life within two weeks of
using this drug.
It comes in a tablet form and has no side effects. I believe
it works by reducing the amount of bile salts that get into
the bloodstream.
If this information could help other Hep C patients please
get it out there. I know I sound like a shill for the drug
company (Sankyo) but this has made a huge difference in
my wife's life.
Thanks
M.
