Lloyd,

My husband is in week 11 of interferon / ribavarin cocktail treatment for Chronic Hep C. The side affects are getting almost unbearable.

After reading everything on your web site I'm now terrified for him to even remain on this treatment. He has also just been diagnosed with after the left side of his face became paralyzed yesterday.

I'm wondering if there is any link between interferon and ribavarin and bells palsy? His fatigue and body aches are to the point he is unable to work and for some reason the government says we don't qualify for any disability assistance!!

I don't know what I'm going to do. Any advice?
T. H.
