My name is Sammy, I went through the treatment , approximately 4 years ago , during the treatment I suffered burning sensations of the skin , server depression and isolation , pains in my joints , and ribs ,
I was cleared of the hep. C , but was left with the side effects , three years on , I have lost my marriage of three years as my wife could not handle the mood changes , I have a fear that I may never be normal ever again , I was told that it was impossible for me to be experiencing side affects three years after treatment . so I looked up long term side effects from interferon and found out that many people are experiencing side affects well after treatment , my mental state has deteriated, I no longer function as I did before treatment , I have loss of memory , I am emotionally unstable , I am depressed a lot , and have no ambition for life , it is as though I am just existing, I have major pains in my right leg, and now have got tendonitis in both arms ,
Symptoms are GONE!
