alcohol and interferon

[joel6483]

So, why can't you drink if youre going through treatment? Does it make you sick? Or is it because youre doing damage to your liver

Yesterday I didn't drink enough water. I had a few beers, though its frown upon, and I woke up today with a fever a feeling really sick. I slept until 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Everything was sore and achey...

Feedback please

I knda like they way you handled Miles.
Speaking of Miles here a snippet of what he had to say back in 2K3 on high Iron.

I Am Iron Man
This is my main problem for the moment - Iron Overload. I noticed it when I walked naked past the refrigerator and all the magnets flew off and stuck to me. I gotta take my shirt off to call Pizza Hut. Iron overload is dangerous. It's called hemochromatosis.

He seems to have changed his mind a bit since then ay.
Lets move Iron Mikes thread over here its more fun that thread.

Having a debate with you would be fun
I like your posts

Back in the day when I could have a few I would have loved to debate with you in one of the nice Aussie beer bars.  I'll bet you guys can get pretty heated up and I think it's quite entertaining.  Even though I don't agree with you I have to admire your enthusiasm.  I also read what you posted on Mike's thread about high iron and you just don't mince words, it's like what don't you get man, you don't have high iron.  Oh, CS gotta love ya.

Thank You!  For posting some common sense among the emotion...Some on this thread seem to be forgetting that you were giving a REAL reason not to drink while tx'ing...i.e. the interaction between the interferon and alcohol.  I read a lot on this forum and I never really knew that before.  Everyone just screams about how alcohol is throwing fuel on a fire, etc., etc.

I also remember back when SonicBandaid posted some of those things you're quoting.  As I recall it was among a very long thread regarding a person that was denied treatment because they hadn't been alcohol-free for 6 months prior to treatment.  Sonic was pointing out how ridiculous that was and gave some information about his own patients but he did NOT recommend it.   Bravo for your posts!
