Member Randy of Colorado fame has found something we all perhaps suspected but had no conclusive proof of. Our member Chase, who just received an new liver, Robert in southern California and of course Randy, all suffer from either active or long term issues from this. Chase actually had extensive surgery to save his life and arrest the cancer.
Enter Randy at 0300 in the morning-sleepless and roaming the internet in a quest for more knowledge. As he put it in his email ” Sleep is highly overrated”. I concur. Many’s the time I have been sleepless in the near environs to Seattle due to the off the wall effects of HCV fatigue. Getting up in the middle of the night to do research is beneficial as there are no distractions. The downside is returning to bed at 0500 and sleeping for half the morning until 1100. But I digress. Here is some interesting research which corroborates what we probably already suspected but were unable to point to.

Veterans Claims Help 
I am the Robert in So Cal who is mentioned regarding this article. Well done research. I am surprised Lloyd Wrights site isn’t searched as well. I am sure NOD has dealt with him before. Lloyd got busted for something a few years back. I still visit but the negativity there is a downer. The horror stories of IFN therapy is endless. So why doesn’t the VA recognize the reams of data regarding HCV exposures and their FDA approved IFN treatments? It’s all about money who in in the white house. I believe IFN treatment for my HCV caused my thyroid cancer. I also believe that IFN caused cysts/tumors on my liver and testicles. My exposures to HCV is military related and I will probably die from it. Producing this good information will not convince any RO rater of your arguments. Without a good nexus we will sit and spin for years. However I use information like this to deal with my doctors and make my suggestions. NOD opened my eyes to PCT and now I know why I burn in direct sunlight. Did any of my doctors volunteer this info? NFW but knowledge is power. I will fight this until my last breath. Without the help I get here I would be at the mercy of idiot lawyers and corrupt VSO’s.
