Pegasys interferon and ribavirin treatment Mood
Wednesday, November 4, 2009 | A Frustrating story
I am waiting for some class action lawsuit from the treatment I took which I think will happen sometime in the future, it's putting many people on disability. Some of the side effects don't go away, they still linger in me some 5 months after treatment, something tells me that the treatment probably shortened my life span also. It is a dangerous treament for some of us and shouldn't just be given to anybody. Kaiser won't even treat you after the treatment is done, they just say wait. I don't know what I am waiting for, so far I am still in pain and weakness and probably have rhumatoid arthritis now from it agmonst other things. I pray for better treatment for those of us who suffered through treatment and didn't help much. I wish to god I never done the treatment, it wasn't worth it, I felt way better before treatment. I should have waited for newer treatments to come out. ESPECIALLY CAUSE PEGASYS IS BEING VERY MISLEADING WITH THE PAMPHLETS THAT CAME OUT ON PEGASYS TREATMENT, Dr.'s and everyone just think it's all part of treatment, I believe they will find out some bad news on the treatment and may have shortened some people lives instead of lengthen it.

    We took what was offered to us with strong belief that we will get well. We need more money ear-marked for improved treatment and research.
