Subject: [Contact Lloyd] Interferon is a vicious mean poison

I did interferon / ribavirin therapy from June 2008 - December 2008.  It was not successful in eradicating  the virus.  It did, however, prove a complete success in disfiguring me, robbing me of my athleticism and life force, and dulling my cognitive abilities.  I developed psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.  I have embarrassing and isolating rashes where the sun doesn't shine. I constantly go to sun tan booths to keep things in check.  My muscles and joints hurt badly. My brain has been "altered."  That part has slowly gotten better, but it took 2 1/2 years and I am still not the same person I was before.  At least I am not quite so mentally unable to comprehend, prioritize, organize and do.

Subject: [Advice] post hep c treatment

Hi,   

I found your website 12 years to late.  anyway i went thru a year of  the 3 shots of interferon a week and 5 pills of ribavirin a day and feel worse then before i started the treatment. if i knew then what i know now, i never would have started that treatment. 

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 ,
