Hello I share the same health issues with you I have spoke to everyone in the medical field including the veterans administration gastrologist who prescribed the interferon ribavirin for five for 48 month treatments those treatments almost killed me I am sure now has been three years but it was the Havonia .i was on a pain maintenance management program through the VA for almost 15 years clinical diagnosis was degenerative disc disease lower back and after two cervical spine surgeries and clinical diagnosis of degenerative cervical spine disease as well
I was given 60 mg of Vicodin a day I didn’t have any pain in my body unless I fail to take my medicine on time
With all this new VA in opiate loss I was taken off I suffer today with pain but the feeling I’m having along with the other clinical issues is the body pain that is deep in my legs bones and in my arm bones I still have many headaches and I also have memory loss of some sort
I have asked the doctors for the medication back told them about the ribavirin and the interferon years of use no one has any evidence of long-term issues could it be people do know this I don’t want to add minutes maybe legal purposes I don’t know but I’m very very exhaust Feeling this way after reading your article I see you I’m not alone

I have many articles I could scan and send you about my research confirming that it fries your bone, but I do not have a computer right now. I'm very curious because you mentioned you were treated through the VA. You were to have intermittent bone density tests if you were treated for a year. Did they give those to you? Yes, my legs hurt terribly during that time when my bones were being fried. I remember her saying "well, it can't be from the medicine."

I'm curious as to whether you were given intermittent bone density tests while on interferon and treated at the va. Was this a one year treatment?
