Post Interferon side effects
How many are suffering from Post Interferon side effects? are there others or am I the only one
Thanks Bethmm.
Are you having side effects from the Interferon? I finished treatment nearly 4 years ago and happy to say the Hep C has been in control but have terrible joint pain and a host of other problems . Was just diagnosed with fibromyalgia (another name). I don't want to sound like a whiner. I just hope to find someone who is having similiar experiences and if there are any studies being done. I've tried talking with my doctors and they evade. My Psychologist is the only one who said that Interferon can have serious life threatening consequences in a very few cases. He has a PHD and because I was suffering from depression during treatment he saw me go from an up-beat slightly depressed 180 lb athletic type to 110 lb physical and mental wreck. I don't want to scare anyone. The chances of this happening to someone else are, according to my therapist "very" low and the treatment has saved many a person to be sure. I'm just one of the un-fortunate ones. So if there is anyone out there who knows of any studies going on concerning Post Interferon Side Effects please post. Thanks, franke566
