boceprevir

In 2008 I took interfuron/ribo treatments for 1 year.  Not as effective as the doctor expected.  Have not taken any treatments since December 2008; waiting for new medication.  My understanding is that I would take the interfuron/ribo plus boceprevir or telaprevir.  What side effects can I expect?  I am 62; working in 2008 and rearing grandchildren was tough.  Should I take short term disability from my job?  Does anyone get Social Security Disability with Hep C?

Thanks

While both forums are fine to post questions about hcv in, most of us use the hep c community for medical questions because more people will respond to your questions there.
