Yes, I have sometimes thought that too. It is so outrageous that doctor's were paid big money for prscribing that drug. The more they pushed it on us, whethet we were even sick enough to need it, the more money they received. Why aren't attorneys out there waiting to take our cases, were they paid off by the pharmsceuticals too. I have seen corruption so much, i stay angry most of the time. It is easy to stay angry when you know your illnesses were brought on by greedy doctors. Let's arrest them, and shoot them up with interferon and ribavarin for a year and still how they feel afterwards. This never should have happened!

Rather than look it back are there any solutions. I can’t sleep without medication. I am so sad. There is a black spot in my chest that makes everything suck.

My god. I’m going insane with sadness and I thought I it was because I am weak and spoiled. So many Doctors and not one has said 26 months of interferon, then 6 more months with interferon/Ribavirin, could do this to me. They shake their heads, maybe make a note, wait till I stop talking and move on. I’m on 3 antidepressants which help, sort of. I don’t talk about it to anyone because I sound like a whiner and no body believes me anyway. The only time I felt ok was when I taking oxicoton for cancer surgery. I’m having minor surgery next week and I’m going to ask the anesthesia guy to put me out slowly so I can feel normal for 15 seconds. marko1 and sueleerock, just say hello and let me know you read this.

It is impossible for anyone to understand how your body changes from taking that poison unless they themselves had to take it. It is unfortunate that we did not research previous to taking the medicine and trusting a doctor to do right by us. I live in a state of disbelief thst they were paid big bucks the more medicine they prescribed. As i said previously my obit has been written with both their names in it, so at least I can do something to warn others about how really corrupt doctor's can be. They both should be jailed for what they did. I am sorry you are so depressed. I have two wonderful sons, a dog who follows me around and a spoiled fat cat. I try and stay happy, eben though I feel like shit. I want my children to have good memories of me because I know I probably won't be around too much longer. Try to go somewhere peaceful, like to a lake or the ocean, that always helped me in the past. Or, escape with a good book, that is something I do all the time. Try and stay strong. There are good doctor's and people that ❤ care.

Happy Easter to you too Marko1. Just keep on trucking, as the Grateful Dead would say. That seems so long ago that I saw them, when in reality life is going by way too fast. The Mayo Clinic isn't responding probably because we are fucked and they know it. Over time, the after effects from being put on those drugs continues to worsen for us and so the angrier we become. The thing that sucks is the statute of limitations. You have very little time to file a lawsuit so the doctor wins again. Since this has happened to me i make sure and research every drug they try and put me on. Most drugs i decline and just live with pain. Your best bet is to find a good naturopath.
