        My wife was on Interferon for a year. She had some trouble concentrating and her personality was more subdued. For her it was a little like having mild flu for a year. The one good thing was about 4 months after the treatment ended there were no lasting side effects.

              To say what to expect can be difficult. These drugs and treatments can react to each of us individually. Digestive issues are a common theme and live culture yogurts like Activia etc. seemed to help. A food journal can be helpful. record what you feel within an hour after eating something than also 4 hours later. This can help clue you in an what your body tolerates and what it craves. Trust your body to know what it wants. Be cautous with supplemts or herbal medications of any kind (including herbal teas)  and discuss with your doctor  before using any. I brought up herbal teas and these alos can be helpful but, like I said, discuss this with your doctor.
