[thevoice_692001]

I want to know if there is now a Diagnoses of Interferon Syndrome
I not only went through 3 rounds of treatment for Hep C I had every possible side effect there is and wrote a few chapters of more sides, my Dr was a great man and did everything to help me but now almost 20 years later I am still suffering from almost everything I was during treatment and then some
I have more  diagnoses since treatment but is there a sound diagnoses of "Interferon Syndrome"

I'm a little confused by your answer.   It isn't known what causes " Chronic
Fatique Syndrome".   Also, I don't believe that "Post Interferon Syndrome" is an actual diagnoses.    If this is to be a post interferon syndrome it has to be
medication "interferon" produced and you can have any of those symptoms before treatment.   Otherwise, you were highly productive healthy person before interferon.   Which would be "Medication Induced Depressive Disorder.

What is the code for Post Interferon Syndrome?   Are you disabled based on
"Post Interferon Syndrome" diagnoses?

I was diagnosed with Post Interferon Syndrome about 4 years ago,5 years post treatment.I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome type symptoms plus nerve damage and fibromyalgia.I had no liver damage prior to successful treatment with interferon/ribavirin and led a full and active life. I am not depressed. My liver consultant told me that approximately 4% of his patients were left with similar symptoms.

After reading your post and others like your I wonder if your not trying to put the wrong diagnoses on this.   I'm no doctor but sense there isn't a concrete diagnoses of "Post Interferon Syndrome" What do medical professionals call it.   There is a diagnosis of "substance/medication-depressive disorder". It does seem to be exactly what everyone is calling "Post Interferon Syndrome".
