|  I'm sure you must get Emails from HVC patients 
                    suffering from itching.  For several years my wife suffered debilitating bouts of 
                    itching, and none of the specialists seemed to know what to 
                    do about it except to remark that about 15-20% of Hep C patients 
                    exhibit this symptom.
 We discovered a drug called Welchol, which is a cholesterol 
                    lowering drug that removes bile from the gut (it's not processed 
                    by the liver). The effect on my wife was miraculous...she 
                    went from several days per month spent on the couch unable 
                    to move
 because of the extreme itching to zero itching and a normal 
                    life within two weeks of
 using this drug.
 It comes in a tablet form and has no side effects. I believe 
                    it works by reducing the amount of bile salts that get into 
                    the bloodstream.
 If this information could help other Hep C patients please 
                    get it out there. I know I sound like a shill for the drug 
                    company (Sankyo) but this has made a huge difference in
 my wife's life.
 
 Thanks
 M.
