|  Hi Lloyd, My name is J., and on March 15th 2003, I gave myself my last 
                    Peg-intron shot and took the last of my Rebetol.  At six months off the drugs, I was told that I was “cured.” 
                    I would like to know if there are any legal documents stating 
                    the long-term side effects of these drugs?  My year of treatment was the most painful and hideous time 
                    of my life. But today I ache all over; I have unexplainable 
                    sudden join pain (excruciating), and am very tired. I also 
                    gained 40lbs.  In 7 months. Doctors are telling me, due to years of bad 
                    posture I’m experiencing painful muscles and joint pain. 
                    I show several age related spurs in my neck and shoulder but 
                    nothing else significant in my MRI.  Nothing really in 
                    the “electric shock” test to my hands, just slight 
                    carpal tunnel stuff. I’ve had physical therapy, felt good for awhile, but 
                    didn’t resolve my ouch, numbness, sudden joint pain 
                    and extreme muscle fatigue.  I keep losing strength, 
                    why?  I’m sorry to bother you but I need to start somewhere, 
                    will you please help?  Thank you and respectfully,J.
