I finished my treatment (48 weeks) in 2010 and my body is still a wreck. I know the 1200mg of ribavirin hurt as well. Memory is just part of it for me. I am still unable to work a full time job

I feel for you. I had become disabled a few years after the 48-week hepatitis-c treatment in 2001-2002. I thought my life was to get better, but after about three years, post treatment, my body began to break down. The muscle spasms and pain that seems to never end and plagues my mind and causes fatigue to the highest degree. The physical and mental anguish causes others problems like high blood pressure and organ compromise. It’s not like this is something that can be “thought away”. This is not a product of imagination , for if I could imagine all my symptoms to just “go away” I would! Which is stupid to even say to anyone who’s suffering, like we have a darn choice! Okay, thanks for reading my venting, it’s been so long to suffer, I thought I was alone in this…NOT SO!! . There are many of us! Keep us in your prayers y’all Stay strong!
