Hi everyone.... just joining this conversation. I did the Interferon/Ribavirin about 10 years ago. I could only do 6 months- though the Dr wanted me to do a full year. I simply could not. The 6 months did manage to get the Hep C undetectable- but then I began to go downhill from there. I was pretty healthy and active when I started treatment but have never felt the same since. I was actually diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes (at age 40 )shortly after the treatment. I never had any blood sugar problems or issues before the treatment. I also struggle with what many of you have described... the fatigue, brain fog, confusion, joint pain and inflammation.. basically, I feel like I'm just existing, not living anymore. I recently began researching lawsuits like you... here's hoping...

Anyway... just glad to be here among those who understand.
Jeri

Hi-glad u found us n ur not nuts lol I use to think I was until I found this site!

There was a study I read about that a Chinese doctor did and in their findings they found out there was a percentage of people who went through Pegasus interferon with Ribavarin ended up with permanent type one diabetes. If I can find it again I’ll post the link. I too just like you years and years later feel like shit still after treatment. Never felt the same again. It changed everything.
