Interferon long term side effects
Is there such a thing as long term effects of interferon treatment? My treatment put me in remission(non-reactive), but I still have symptoms of extreme fatgue, muscle aches, depression with anxiety and GI problems. These all began with the treatment.
Hi Rita, Yes there is such a thing as permanent side effects from the harsh treatment drugs. Most people that treat even if they are "cured" have some sort of lasting side effect. Most SX subside over time but not always.
There is no such thing as remission. Either you have a viral load or you don't. There are many threads on long term side effects of interferon. You may want to enter that into the search feature, to get some answers immediately.
