Hi Lloyd,

My name is Richard and I went through treatment for hep c about four years ago. Of what I do remember about it was I could not sleep and had chronic fatigue, did not want to eat much, and had lots of body pain. After treatment I did start to feel better at first and then I started to get lot of pain in all my joints and the fatigue came back. I did go to physical therapy for some of my joint pain. It did not help.

I was told I had arthritis in my neck, a compression fracture of T1 vertebra, osteoporosis and arthritis in lower back, hands, feet, knees, and also had fibromyalgia. Was told that my adrenal gland was not producing any cortisol, and also had candidiasis, after more blood work was told I had a blood disorder called monoclonal gammopathy. I have lots of anxiety and CFS.

The pain got worse as time went on, I had to quit my job of 15 years and now have applied for social security disability. Oh ya I forgot to mention that my memory is not so good, I have to write things down or I will forget them. I get confused easily and have a hard time making decisions.

I seemed to be much healthier before I went on the interferon and rebatrol. Any advise on the disability claim, I know that some people have gotten it while on treatment but not for post treatment problems. I’m not saying that it caused all of my problems but I do believe it did contribute to some of them.

Thanks for listing to me complain.

Hi Richard:

This is what I do. Interferon is the treatment that is worse than the disease. Most people who use it develop serious joint pain. Interferon causes brain damage.

I have tried most everything for my joint pain that I never had prior to interferon use.

One item that works for me and many others is called Russian Choice Immune. You can read about it here.

Another item that helps is NADH. You can read about it at the same site.

Those are the two items that I have found that make some difference. Often the arthritis pain is worse because of to much yeast in the small intestine. Russian choice immune helps correct this problem and the joint pain diminishes.
Try it and please let me know if it works for you.

These two items are likely available in health food stores or from our hep c pharmacy.

In good health
Lloyd
