You probably get hit by the rye grass pollen in Orange, emilio. I have a vague memory of them having asthma outbreaks from it up round Tamworth that were so bad they pushed the local hospitals to breaking point.
I’ve had the sniffles occasionally too. Initially put it down to a side effect until a neighbor said he had exactly the same thing on the same day. I only get mild hay fever. But as the wind was up that day, that side got pushed into the hay fever column.
I think James is going to put something else up about drug interactions when he gets the chance. For anyone who hasn’t realised (like me), when you get the result from that drug interactions site, you can then click on the little symbol for more info. But it seems the DAAs are so new that site errs on the side of caution. It indicated oxycodeine might be a problem but I let them give it to me on the basis I knew Greg had codeine on the drugs and because I knew opiates are generally pretty benign. James rang the next day and said it was fine.
I can tell everyone not to expect doctors who don’t normally treat hep c patient to have any clue whatsoever about treatment with the DAAs. Pretty funny having the emergency doctors waiting around for me to tell them what they could or couldn’t give me.
I may have my first bona fide side though. I’ve got a bit of a rash on my abdomen. Now I do get heat rashes in this area but it’s much more pronounced than usual. Weird thing is though, the heat rashes normally itch like hell but this isn’t the least bit itchy. Haven’t inspected it today yet cause I’ve got to get out of the sling to do so. But I figure if it’s not in any way debilitating why be bothered by it.
