You should be aware that Interferon can trigger Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in patients who already have Fibromyalgia.  I got no help from the Interferon, and then developed CFIDS.  My liver doc confirmed the link between Interferon and CFIDS - but no one told me what I was risking when I agreed to a largely precautionary round of Interferon.  I slept 18-20 hours/day for 2 years while a single parent.  I would never have taken the Interferon had I known the risks.

Thanks for the breakdown and forgive any sensitive "literalness" on my part. The confluence of young twins, unemployment, cirrhosis, and therapy failure can do this. d

correction, if you are successful with the current treatment meds interferon & ribavirin then you are cured. right now genotype 1's & 4's have around a 50% chance of cure and 2 & 3's around 80%.
with the new drugs coming out in about a year the precentages for 1 & 4's will increase to around 80 %

Relative to the cure for Hep C claim; I feel it is at best hyperbolic to call interferon and ribavirin a "cure" when it's statistical success is relative to assorted variables, e.g., genotype, sex, severity/duration, race.......As a person who failed solo interferon and later interferon/ribo treatments and now has cirrhosis it has not been a "cure". d

my friend went undetectable for hep b from interferon many years ago. I don't know what the current treatment is though. Good luck!

there is medicine that can cure hepatitis C. it is a combo called interferon & ribavirin. in about a year there will be new drugs that when added to the present drugs offer even a better cure for hepatitis c.
