Hey everyone, I don't know if this will help but I have seen a couple of people on here post about taking Cerefolin NAC to help with brain fog.  It is a food grade (multivitamin) prescription.  I am not familiar with this kind of prescription but it has been given to people off label to help them post interferon.  As Frank has stated the Mayo clinic recognizes Post Interferon Syndrome.
As I am searching I see it is a nutritional supplement that is by prescription to ensure a doctor is monitoring you vs it being an over the counter product.
Anyway...I have found people who are taking this to help with their thyroid and and also aches and pains.  As I find more I will share more, Just posting here in case it might help someone.
Take Care, Dee

Am coming very late in this thread but it has taken me a year to work out
what was happening. Your experience same as mine, 3a,6 months and not
a traumatic time during treatment. Grateful for you sharing your experience as it has helped me.

Rick.... I wondered how you were getting along.....I was fortunate to clear the Virus but the ongoing side effects, 14 Months later, are awful.
Am essentially incapacitated. Do hope you are doing better.
Is there anything out there that can help ?

8 years ago I found out I  had hep C. The treatment was a nightmare. It took 2 years of treatment with Interferon to clear the virus, 104 shots!!!!
To this day I suffer from depression from mild to severe. I need help so badly. It's so hard at times to deal with this
