Haemophellia, cereosis of the liver, Cancer of the liver, transplant help please
He's a haemophelliac who was contaminated with hep c back in the 80's, part of the Taintedblood scandal. 12 years ago he had
interferon
treatment which did get rid of the hep c, but due to the haemophellia and treatment he was left with cereosis of the liver.

Hi everyone just curious to find out if there has been anyone started on the new non
interferon
drug sovaldi yet..just read the NHS has delayed the decision to treat for 6mths because of the cost.

should I wait to see an endocrinologist?
I reduced the medication by over 50% (
Interferon
Alpha). I currently have some symptoms of hypothyroidism ( severe eyebrow loss, hair loss, weight gain) but have been taking supplements including a B complex and L Tyrosine which appear to help the mood swings and improve my energy levels.

I need your help!
As I am 47 and have always said that i don't want hydroxie because of the leukemia risk, my heam has told me it's my choice whether I start
interferon
or hydroxie, I know she is leaning to the latter. I'm scared of both and really need to know which way to go.

PV side effects and denied Pegasus Interferon
Also I have been denied the use of Peg
Interferon
, I'm guessing that was due to funding! I am 27 and on Hydroxy, the
Interferon
was causing me problems with my sciatic nerve! I really don't want to be on chemotherapy for the rest of my life!x

Are all my symptoms Hep C related or is it something else?
For various personal reasons I cannot commit to treatment and am hoping for a new drug for Genotype 3 that doesn't contain
interferon
to come along before I pop my clogs. I took a list of all my worsening symptoms and was sent for an Ultrasound scan and blood test.

Interferon 2a or Pegasys----how different are they regarding effect on the body and possible molecular remission?
I have been on
interferon
2a for 2 1/2 years and am sick of having painful legs and lower back. My bloods are normal, platelets 250-300. I would like to stop the meds but haem is reluctant. Would there be any point in switching to Pegasys?

Peg Interferon - Anyone found bone structure changing?
Hi The meds we are taking affect the bone. Has anyone noticed any changes in their joints / bone structure? I am on Pegylated Inteferon and I think I am noticing some changes but cannot be 100% sure. Sherry.

Considering changing from Hu to Interferon and need support to make right decision.
I am considering to change to
Interferon
and have spoken to a pharmacist trained to work with MPD's that saw me last time I had my regular check up, which was last week. She gave me booklet on
interferon
information and that she will talk to Dr. Harrison.

Peg interferon versus interferon alpha. I've read that interferon alpha can have an effect on the thyroid.
Is there any medical evidence that peg
interferon
is a better alternative if this is shown to be a side effect of
interferon
alpha? Has anyone else had the experience of changing types of
interferon
?
