anybody know if Vicodin has an negative interactions with tx? TC > anybody know if Vicodin has an negative interactions with tx? > TC I take 120 generic Vicodin ES/month. I imagine not, provided your liver isn't too severely damaged to deal with the acetaminophen. > anybody know if Vicodin has an negative interactions with tx? > TC TC, I was under the care of my Pain Management Group from conditions that are chronic, in fact they didn't think I would have made it through treatment with them. Neither did I. eileen > > anybody know if Vicodin has an negative interactions with tx? > > TC [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Neither did I. > eileen I'm sorry Eileen, but I didn't understand your message exactly. Are you saying you did use vicodin during tx?

I have tramadol which is just about as bad in the hangover dept., the dr. also gave me tylenol with codeine, I don't suppose that's any better. sheet, you swap one symptom for another. anybody have any better ideas to manage the headaches?

T.C. ================== I hate vicodin, it gave me a horrible hangover too. I do well with tramadol though, maybe take half as much? and take it with 2 regular strength tylenol. tylenol with codeine might work for you, may as well try it... maybe just one pill at first? (either/or, not with the tramadol of course :) ) otherwise, how's your water intake? I'd try upping that if you are drinking less than a half-gallon a day (which should be double that if/when you are on tx) I get very few headaches now that I drink more water. only other suggestion I can think of is a decongestant. Can your headaches be sinus related? I used to get some killer sinus headaches (when I smoked :) ) and the only thing that would touch them would be a good decongestant/antihistimine combo. good luck, been there and I know how miserable headaches can be Sara > > On Mar 26, 12:34 pm, eileen <samiamtwo...@yahoo.com> wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 57 lines] > > - Show quoted text - Hi Sara, I need to increase my water, I have not been drinking much. and, during the initial evaluation for h-c, the dr.s told me the headaches were not hep-c related, but a chronic sinus infection, which, after talking to folks here I realized, the dr.s are probably wrong as a lot of folks here did get headaches pre-tx. in any event, I do have chronic sinus infections on top of the dragon., so, thanks for the reply, I really appreciate your input, you have been one of the few consistent repliers to this "newbie" and I don't feel so alone having you here, hope I can repay your kindness one day.

So, how are YOU doing? TC ============== I'm doing well, thanks for asking :) I really can identify with you re: the headaches, I used to get really miserable sinus headaches. Try to drink more water, you might be surprised how much that really does help. Hope the weather cooperates with you and your sinuses clear up for a while and give you some relief! take care, and hopefully this group will wake up and quit being so quiet! (maybe I should be careful what I ask for!) --Sara Hey topcat, Yes this is a slow moving list, not like it was when I first started corresponding here. So, headaches. Yesterday, I googled 'cause headache' then I googled 'hepatitis c headache' and really didnt didn't come up with much. I was hoping to add some info on this particular string, but all I did is confuse myself. lol. If you can, try reading through some of the material under the search criterion 'cause headache'. There are three or four greater causes or types of headaches plus results of whatever your body might be experiencing, expressed as a headachey symptom. Guess what that might be. :) hang in there, TC Cactus Jammies On Mar 27, 12:15 pm, "Normin" <norminfishb...@aol.com> wrote: > "topcat" <ho...@live.com> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 60 lines] > > - Show quoted text - Hi Sara, I need to increase my water, I have not been drinking much. and, during the initial evaluation for h-c, the dr.s told me the headaches were not hep-c related, but a chronic sinus infection, which, after talking to folks here I realized, the dr.s are probably wrong as a lot of folks here did get headaches pre-tx. in any event, I do have chronic sinus infections on top of the dragon., so, thanks for the reply, I really appreciate your input, you have been one of the few consistent repliers to this "newbie" and I don't feel so alone having you here, hope I can repay your kindness one day. So, how are YOU doing? TC > > > anybody know if Vicodin has an negative interactions with tx? > > > TC [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > you saying you did use vicodin during tx? > TC Sorry TC, What I meant to say was I was taking Oxycontin and Oxycodone. Neither of these had tylenol in them, so I supplemented them with Ibuprophen. One was a 12 hour and the other 4 hour was for break through pain. Worked for me, my dose was upped a tad during treatment and now I'm back down to my normal dose. As far as the sinus headache I used a Nettie Pot. http://unimedprod.com/netipot_1.shtml?gclid=CIzD6774spICFQ4JPQod5wGNMQ It was under $20 at Wallmart and other drug stores it comes with 50 packets of the nasal solution of Sodium Chloride and Sodium Bicarbonate. Right now they are having a free Neti Pot offerat their website above. I am not selling just recommending something that I still use for allergy symptoms. Sara is right about the water, it is essential. I also used candied ginger (found in the spice section) for the nausea but once I had relief I spit it out. To me it gets bitter. Another tip for the burning mouth and sores is using a dry mouth toothpaste "Biotene" and when things got too bad I would suck on Mycelex tabs that my doctor wrote a script for. To help with the metal (money) taste caused from the interferon I used little "Tastycake"chocolate donuts, they helped for all my ailments. Problem is I still want more but now that I'm off treatment the weight is comming on againso I'm cutting back! This group was alot busier but harsh answers and control freaks turned many people away. So if we want to keep it going we all must try to avoid both. I hope this helps. eileen > > > treatment with them. >> > avoid both. > I hope this helps. > eileen- Hide quoted text - > > - Show quoted text - Eileen, thanks for sharing info, especially the advice on donuts!! Now I have a good excuse for choclate!!:) Take care, TC
