Welcome to forum! I mixed olive oil with Milk. Preferably a sweet milk. I used almond Milk w vanilla as not a big fan of milk. Its important to get those 20 grams so medicine Works properly. Landscape business....I couldn't handle sunlight Or sun on Invicek. Wear a hat and cover up. Take a gallon of water with you. You could Work a split shift and get a short afternoon nap. Best wishes,

Hi rescape,
Welcome to the forum and congratulations for being 4 weeks in to the Incivek. You'll find a wealth of knowledge and support on the forum. Sounds like you've got the 20g fat issue sorted at the moment. Theres a really helpful "20g fat" thread on the forum. You may have already found it. It really helped me with introducing some variety to the fat intake. I found fruit smoothie with about 30ml of olive oil the easiest to deal with. had a look at the boost plus, couldn't buy it in UK. Good luck, all the best, Adam

If you're 4 weeks in, then you're 1/3 of the way thru the worst part. Most of the most troublesome sides end when the Incivek, others unfortunately hang around. The high fat deal is a real pain, I gained 20 lbs and my cholesterol shot thru the roof, it's a small temporary price to pay though. Hopefully all goes well with your 4 week VL test and you can end at 24 weeks. The sun and heat can be a real issue while on Incivek. I think the heat made my rash worse and the sun would cause my skin to blister after only a short time of exposure. But everyone experiances sides to a different degree.

Hi Rescape,
Welcome to the Forum. I've just finished a 48 week treatment with the Victrelis triple.
Have you had a liver biopsy to assess your liver status? The results of that together with your 4 week viral Load, will determine your treatment length.
Good luck with your Rx. Cheers.

This is my first post. I am a 60 year old man, and I have had hep c for 8 years. After long discussions with my wife and doctor, I decided to begin triple therapy treatment. I am in the fourth week now with several of the side effects that bother others. My biggest problem involves the intake of the 20 grams of fat for each dose of incivek. I am a picky eater by nature, and trying to force myself to eat in the morning proved undoable. I took the advice of the boost plus and it is manageable. I have a landscaping business, do much heavy work myself, and will be starting a new season in two weeks. I am worried. Have read hundreds of your posts, and got lots of good advice and encouragement. Thank you all.
