This poster did just comment on my other thread, "anemic at only week 8, sank I'd be worried." I'm done with this.
......just sayin
I'm not sure about pointing out the negative aspects of Interferon is all that insensitive but I agree it is fruitless on a forum where everyone is taking it in hope of recovery. The implication we are unaware of the risks is a bit offensive as it implies we lack the brains to research the medication, weigh out pro and con and make an informed decision ourselves.
The thing is I get why the OP feels the need to say these things as I need the same kind of support myself. I said this in another post as diplomatically as I could but perhaps a forum that has folks in the same boat he is in might be more helpful. I can't think anyone would want to be consistently alienated especially when they are in such ill health and spirits and genuinely need options, recourse and support.
I'm sorry your sick :(
I hope they REPLACE interferon with a better med soon. Until then I think it is my best bet.
just my 2 cents. im last day of week 10, and yes the incivek sx are cruel. but! at grade 3, stage 3, the alternative to tx was completely uacceptable. 4 week und and looking forward to my 12 week tests.
