Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Ribavirin

Hi, my name is Judy Long - email is: YYYY@YYYY . Over two years ago my husband was on both Ribavirin and Pegasys. He still has major side effects and we were told it was from the Ribavirin. He has FOG days where he doesn t remember his address, phone number and simple things in life. He now is anxious, moody, tired all the time. We were told this would go away. It has NOT! This is not the same person I married. I have to put his meds in a pill filler. He doesn t even know half of what he takes. I m considering seeing a lawyer as to what our options are. Why is he still this way???? OMG this is crap. you people want money from us. after everything we have been through. Wow, get another sucker to take money from. I ll talk to a lawyer
