This treatment was one of the hardest things I had to go through. I lost most of my hair. I felt run-down most of the time while on it, but I feel like I did benefit from the treatment.
Once you get past the initial six months I stopped having the weight loss and I only experience the pain if I skip doses for any amount of time over a week. I take 10mu 5 times a week for 6 years.
Cured type 2. Virus eliminated in 11 weeks. YEE HA!
6 weeks on med so far no real complaints. Hope it works :)
I have no show of hep-c
I had hep c and given 2 to 3 months to live. I took enterferon and peggasiss.I was free of hep c. told i was a miracle but god made the mircale happen.thank you jesus christ!!!
i have hyper eosinophilia their trying to control my eosinophil counts with this medicine and prednisone.....
I started out taking 3MU 3x wk.went up to 6MU 3x wk. Made me very achy all over with headaches, bone pain and constipation. lost appetite. It was recalled on 12/2009. I'm not on any treatment at this time.. But will have to find another treatment,
A friend had to take it and lived 6-7 years after taking it. I now have it and am looking for a drug the drug that will most effective. I have not used any thing yet. I only checked the stars because it said I had to.
My Cousin has Hepatitis C. However he is much better now. This medicine is working very well for him.
I have been taking this drug off and on for 7 years. My dr. has tried these tx several times. It has never put this in remission. I don't know it may be because I have genotype 1a.
I took it for a year. Don't have to take it any more.
I was given this as a daily for acute Hep-C Mine was caught really early before it got chronic so it was suggested to try this once a day fvor 6 weeks. I was worried about all the side effects. they sounds terrible. I havnt had neusea etc. the only things I have noticed is being tired, some depression ( noticed by others) and some agressiveness ( noticed by others. ) but hopefully it will work well and just want others to not worry as much about the side effects they are pretty scary.
i now want to start my treatment
been using this for 4 to 5 years and haven't had a problem with it. very easy to use at home and side effects aren't so bad but some days/weeks can be very bad but overall excellent treatment!
no treatment at present time.
