Also sorry to hear about your having a seizure.  At this time all the available treatments include Interferon, and Pegasys is one of its forms. Did you have a liver biopsy before treatment?  What is the condition of your liver?

I don't know whether there will be any treatments in the future that do not include Interferon, I guess we can only hope there will be, some day.

You have posted twice about this, I'm sure you are upset, and understandably so.  How can we support you?  The only recommendations I can think of at this point are common sense...a liver-healthy lifestyle may be the best you can do right now.

I'm sorry you've had such a frightening experience, and hope you will feel better now that you're off the meds.

Wow, I'm sorry that happened to you. It sounds very scary.  I don't know what you can do now, did the doctor tell you anything? Hope you feel better soon!
