side effects of interferon§ribivorin treatment§ fibrosis

[Mr. tired]

Does interferon,riboviron treatment for Hep. C or state 2 fibrosis cause impotence?

[bwsyes]

The doctors may not tell you this but yes it does cause impotence.  Interferon also has long term side effects the medical community isn't talking about.  My husband when through 3 series of interferon/ribraviran. None of which worked but has caused him to continue to have long term side effects so bad he hasn't been able to go back to work since 2001.  ( he was a director of operations for a multimillion dollar telecommunications company)

My husband has also gone through 3 series of the same, his side effects are enlarged liver and spleen to the point where can hardly eat because they are so big. Are these the side effects your husban is having also. We are deperatly seeking help and information form any where. thanks
