https://aidsinfo.nih.gov/drugs/34/interferon-alfa-2/0/professional oh my goodness pls read the pharmacology portion actually all of this is blowing my mind...notice ribaviron is described as: mutagenic, toxogenic, and carcinogenic ...who allowed these drugs to be approved
Wow that's a lot of info about interferon and I notice its mostly from 2007. As I ha e access to part of my medical notes there was a comment made by a Doctor that my symptoms may be related to post Interferon treatment. I am still searching for an up to date review on this terrible drug

I went thru treatment with intron A in 95 and then again with ribavirin and peg interferon in 2010. I'm SVR now and clear but this year is the first year I've felt some (but not much) improvement of my brain fog, malaise, bone aches, joint aches, and everything else. I was tested for everything under the sun and was finally diagnosed with fibromyalgia and myofacial pain syndrome. I spoke with my gastroenterologist doc and my family doc about long term side effects. They said there was no evidence of any documented. I showed my gastro doc forum after forum of people who had my symptoms and said I'm not going crazy and how do I get someone to study this? I still dont feel like i did prior to treatment and have widespread pain. I often wonder if my symptoms are from fibromyalgia or from the interferon? There are so many hep forums where 50% of the people complain of long term problems that are all similar. Oh ya.. my eyesight is also shot now too. Happened rapidly the first 3 years after treatment. Just sayin. I hope we make enough noise to make a difference and get someone to HEAR us. Thanks!
1995 Intron A for 6 mos. Relapsed then Intron A for one year. Long term symptoms of weakness, muscle atrophy, fatigue, hypoxia, and down the road finally of heart block and pacemaker (how long was that going on?). Not sure if psychiatric is a treatment symptom (probably), or loss of health, income, personal independence and identity. How about Hep C symptoms (severe) were caused by something other than that virus?
