Could microglia eradication provide relieve for this hell?

There's this new drug currently in phase 1b or 2
It's called plx3379

It destroys the IFN induced chronic activity of the microglia, by killing the microglia itself.

After a week of cessation of treatment the microglia grew newly and insensitive.

Couldn't that provide a solution to this HELL post IFN?

Ah, the stuff has side effects but they gave it to end stage tumor patients for about 250 days in doses of 1000mg / d

I suggest that some weeks taking this stuff could substantially improve brain functioning, by "resetting" the microglia

can you be productive?

i can't. A **** did happen since i did interferon. Yes, the meds help, yes my memory improved a bit, yes i can have a better sleep.
but my essence is gone.  i developed intolerances against ****** everything.
it's a war, every ****** day, every week, every month and i guess every year until i die.
that's fate.

I have been reading your latest posts.  It sounds like you have made major improvement in your recovery over the last 6 month.   You were very concern that you mind had been taken away from you.  We told you it does take time to recover.   I had the same experience and have recovered.  Honestly,
you sound like you have progressed to being yourself again.  It might benefit you to go back and read your first post.   It does sound like your a totally different person.  

Many people experience this from hepatitis C treatment.  More so,  from interferon.  Some have lasting effects from drug therapies.   I don't see that you are one of those people.

Sounds like you have been cured and doing well.   And can return to you
life before all this stopped you from living a productive life.

Congratulations
