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.
