| Hi Lloyd, This is my first time to this web site.  I found out 
                    2001 that I was positive for hep c.  After the blood 
                    work, liver biopsy I was put on interferon/rebav. - 6 (devil) 
                    capsules a day and 3 shots a week.  My doctor at the 
                    time went over some of the side effects that could become 
                    a problem for me. Side effects?  I was a basket case!  I ended up 
                    at Valley hospital for five day's because I was afraid that 
                    I was going to kill my self.  That is just one of the 
                    side effects.  I'm now on long term disability and Social 
                    Security due mostly to the remaining side effect from treatment. I was working towards my hours of becoming a CDP when I became 
                    to sick to work.  If I become stressed at any time it 
                    is impossible for me to concentrate, let alone trying to recall 
                    what I was saying.  It is very difficult under these 
                    conditions to facilitate a group.  I loved what I was 
                    doing and the group of people I worked with are awesome caring 
                    people. Now I'm considering taking the natural herb's, I wish that 
                    would have been my first choice.  I'm exercising now 
                    and my body doesn't hurt as bad as it once did.  The 
                    fog has lifted and I'm thinking clearer.  I have a new 
                    doctor she is very good, the most important thing is she listens 
                    to her patient's. After treatment my viral count doubled. 
                     Geno type is 1 A.  I want to think you for reading 
                    my message, also this massage might help other's with hep 
                    c try an alternative treatment.  Slowly making a come 
                    back in Tacoma, WA. 
 People, I hear this and worse every day of my life! I am on a crusade to stop the mass torture of innocent victims 
                    of interferon therapy. Please do not use this inappropriate drug! Lloyd
