Mr. Wright

Please allow me to introduce my self ,I will refer to myself as jhj .I was dx hep c + in 1994 .I had 2 liver biopsies 1998 neg resullts and 2001 showing inflamation, necrosis, and fibrosis.in Dec 2001 I started peg intron and rebetol. I tested neg for live virus in may 2002 and have every since.

I have never had a bad liver profile in the 12 years and have not had another biopsy since just prior to my tx in 2001.I am of course satisfied with the results of the peg intron and my hep c.but this is not the entire story. As a child [11-12] I was tx,d for hypothyroidism at aprox 16 I stopped tx and did not have tx or show symptoms until sept 2001 just prior to pegintron tx at that time I started synthroid 25mcg .in july 2002 my tsh was 57 yes 57 that is not a typo since then my tsh has been up and down and recently I have been more hyper[tsh0.3] than hypo. my synthriod dose has been 2oo mcg and is now 150 mcg.I have had great problems with fatigue ,parathesias, emotional lability,poor consentration.In 2005 i was tested and had low b12 ,injections helped some of my symptoms.but i continue to have problems.

At this time aMRI shows plaque multiple small areas in the white matter of my brain the results say poss multiple sclerosis .please understand I am only asking for info I am not interested inany way in the class action law suit .I have found it very difficult to find info on long term side eff though I feel like a walking text on the matter.

thank you
jhj
