Hepatitis C Support Group
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
I would be pleased if you give me some information regarding a leaflet or print out on the symptoms and side effects of interferon treatment as some Doctors and medical staff are sometimes reluctant to prescribe anything that seems helpful.I have also read on the DS Site that some people get prescribed certain medication that seems the norm in the US.
I would be very grateful if anyone could send me the do's and dont's on all side effects and treatments as I often get asked for evidence of my continuing illness.

i know there have been post in the forum addressing just what you are looking for. unfortunately, i don't have a clue as to where to look for the. maybe the original post will remember and bump that post up.
i think what they are doing to you is very cruel. there is a site in your country that i think you might find some help with your getting meds for yourself. try joining them.

i hope this helps,

Do you have a copy of the survival guide? It should list the sides...

Good Luck!
Down toward the bottom are scads of fact sheets on the sides of treatment. Just updated this month too!
