I understand your pain and I’m sending you good vibes for what that’s worth! You are not alone there were so many of us. I came on here looking for answers on how the Covid vaccine might affect my post interferon syndrome. I don’t even remember the exact date anymore, ( 12 to 15 years ago) I did two ribavirin interferon treatment rounds back to back. A total of a year and a half on treatment because The hepatitis came back quickly and I was in stage four liver disease.I had a wonderful happy life with a partner and a job before the treatment. I am now alone, on disability and rarely leave the house. I have constant horrible pain especially in my hands and feet. Also joint and back pain. Sometimes it hurts just when somebody touches my body. Severe depression and anxiety, weakness, fatigue and no desire to do anything except sleep. When I wake up I’m already thinking about how long it is until I can go back to sleep. Hair loss, rashes and I’m probably forgetting stuff because my memory is shot. I want to get the vaccine but I am terrified of making symptoms worse or adding new ones. Please let me know if you find out any other information. Your story is exactly what I’m afraid of.

The interpheron caused my compromised immune system and I wanted to get vaccinated as quick as possible. I had my first vaccine shot in January. Second shot in Febuary and just got my booster shot under Doctors recommendation. So far I am doing fine with the vaccines. Hope this helps
