ATRIPLA-DAY 10
« on: September 23, 2012, 10:45:20 am »
Hello Everyone.

I am on day ten with Atripla.  No major side effects until now.  My hands and feet have become itchy as hell and I am starting to see the rash form.  Any suggestions so I can nip the rash in its butt?

Thanks all,
SBdude2012

Take a Benadryl.  Rash only lasts a couple days (from my experience).

Hi there.
Yeah Take some antihistamine, and also ask for a prescription of oral cortizone or something to help with the itching. Today its more then 5 days since my rash went away and I'm feeling great again, so you'll get through this! Also I found that the rash got worse when I was just lying around, once I moved around, even went jogging and got heavy circulation going, it felt and looked a bit better, at least that was the case for me.

Today was a very rough day at work...My feet were something else, felt like they were on fire.  I am going to see the doctor in the morning just to make sure it is all ok.

Off topic, I almost died today, choked on a jolly rancher, got stuck right in my throat...sorry had to express that.

Thanks,

Sorry it was such a rough day!   And as much as I LOVE jolly ranchers, having one stuck in your throat is not a pleasant experience...been there done that.....I hope the rash gets better soon!     :)

What was this jolly rancher's name? ;D Hey, at least it wasn't a pretzel.

Your rash should get better soon. Hang in there!

Hey Everyone,

Just an update:  the itching of the rash has greatly subsided.  Now I am just dealing with the spots on my legs and feet.  My arms have cleared up.

Thanks for all the support, I appreciate all of you!!!

Just another update:  The spots have disappated and now I am back to looking normal.  What a relief.  I have been taking my meds like a good boy everynight so I am hoping everything will be fine.  Just working a ton and really tired but that because I keep a busy life between work, sports, and friends! 

Thank you all!
