I believe I've seen this discussed here before, but I have a curious
situation. I'm a second week into Peg-Intron/ribavirin treatment, and
a couple of days ago, I chipped a tooth in the back of my mouth.
Normally, it wouldn't be a problem, but the chip left a rather sharp
edge that keeps scratching and irritating my tongue whenever I speak.
Really bloody annoying. I asked the liver doctor, and I don't think he
had much of a clue...he said as long as I don't take any meds
prescribed by a dentist for more than a few days (I presume stuff like
anti-biotics or anti-inflammatories), it should be no problem. Huh.
Any thoughts?

Had my second shot of Peg-Intron this Friday's night (yesterday). Much
easier than the first--this time, I just fell asleep and woke up in
the morning feeling "normal". I know this may all change, but these
days, if I didn't know I was on something, I wouldn't know if I'm
feeling any different, except for some occasional minor things. I
wonder what that's supposed to mean, as far as anti-viral therapy, and
all that. Sometimes I have a distinct feeling in my throat, esp. when
swallowing--may be thyroid; I'm having my first Tx blood test done
before the third shot.

Apart from that, not much to share. <g> Hope everyone is doing
well--I'm actually feeling much better compared to pre-treatment
anxiety, esp. since I was imagining all kinds of depressive, achey
scenarios for myself. I do wish the damn thing wasn't taking so damn
long, and I admire anyone who has done a full year (not like me, with
only 22 shots to go, and whining about it). Trying to take it one day
at a time. Only now I can appreciate how apprehensive that 12-week
mark must be for everyone here.
Cheers,
