Lilly:
I'm on the TEACH trial since middle of May. I too prayed for rash and diarrhea!! I'm fairly confident that I received the "real" thing. My symptoms from early on consisted of:
diarrhea
tingling hands and feet
slight nausea

The rash, which is more like acne for me, didn't start until I was on the pill for about a month. It is the one side effect that has not subsided. Let me know how you do and if you have any questions, please let me know! I will be happy to answer any questions you may have!
