      I am so sorry that you are having to go through this. This is so rough I am sure.

      Interferon was the first treatment my husband did. He spiked a really high fever and started convulsing a few hours after his first dose. I ended up having to take him to the ER that night and they ended up admitting him for observations. I don't know if they are still saying 11 month treatment plan or not. My husband was only able to complete 3 of the 11 months  due to side effects. I do know that there are people out there where interferon was the drug that took them into NED. Just like every treatment it works for some and not others. Unfortunately it didn't work for my husband.

      I wish you the Best of luck. Please keep us updated with your treatment. Take care and stay strong
