Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Hepatitis / March 2004Bedwetting, Boogers and Heptimax
Bedwetting - Well not bedwetting in the 'classical' sense, mind you. But this past week - as I'm spinning in bed at night and commiting 'attempted sleep'- I have begun to soak the sheets like 2 solid hours of a Richard Simmons 'Sweating-to-the-Oldies' video. Anyone else ever get to enjoy the pleasure of this lovely sx? (rubber sheets, perhaps?) Boogers - Another lovely sx that has reared it's head lately is the most amazingly dry, crusty, blood-enhanced nose this side of the Sahara. Should I just go ahead and snap the damned thing off now and be done with it? Or does it actually improve at some point during tx? (pollen-time isn't making matters any nicer, either) Heptimax - the lab my doc uses doesn't use the Heptimax test. For my 12 week PCR I most certainly DO want the Heptimax. How have others here who have wanted/demanded the Heptimax handled this type of situation - in terms of finding a lab, getting your doc to sign off on it and getting insurance to cover it? Thanks. BeatHepC These symptoms will go away. Just be patient! ( I know it's easier said than done) a little Vaseline in the nose helps!!!

The big problem never know when it's going to happen. Boogers: vaseline or mentholatum help some. Invest heavily in your favorite tissue company. Heptimax: No experience here, but my doctor lets me pick which lab I go to.

This started about 14 weeks into treatment and lasted throughout the rest. It did clear up at the end, although I did blow my nose this week and it started bleeding a little bit. As for the spinning in bed, I've been doing that for 2 years ever since knocking the beer on the head. The night sweats occurred about a year prior to my diagnosis, this I took as an indication of the decline of my liver function. Now it's the "bloody itching" which is incessant. Signature"Whale Oil Beef Hooked." "Lu Tze." Bedwetting, Boogers and Heptimax That kind of has a nice ring to it. Make a good name for a special on HCV on the Discovery channel or maybe even a novel about somebody with HCV. Hmmm. Mind if I use that? >Bedwetting - Well not bedwetting in the 'classical' sense, mind you.

I'll gladly trade off the actual sides for the rights to them - I'll have my lawyer draw up the papers today. BeatHepC > >Bedwetting - Well not bedwetting in the 'classical' sense, mind you.

I would definitely bitch and moan until they give you a super sensitive quant test- which one do they use, anyway?

I don't know the name of the test they use, but GIPA said it only goes down to about 225 or thereabouts. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to high for any critical decision-making. > Flick a booger... I think I'm already into some some serious carpal-tunnel from tunneling in there. BeatHepC > fonzz > > Bedwetting - Well not bedwetting in the 'classical' sense, mind you.

Other high sensitivity quantitative viral load tests are available using the Transcription Mediated Amplication (TMA) methodology. To be comparable to Heptimax, the test should give consistent results in the range from 10-750 IU/mL.
