I underwent treatment with pegasys for 48 weeks. my viral genotype was type 2. after 6 years, I still have no evidence of the virus. I am considered cured. Published: January 03, 2008 ::

My husband has engaged in aggressive acts toward me at night. He has punched my face (after minor face surgery); squeezed my left nipple & breast (after I underwent a breast biopsy); stood over me & poked my arm; & last night he awoke me, slurring his words & demanding that I give him a knife. I gently slapped his face, & realized that he was unconscious. I am afraid of him & afraid to tell him that I will sleep in another room--there is no lock on the door, however. These symptoms began with the Pegasys treatment. Is that a coincidence? Am I in danger? He has always been a kind & gentle man. If I call 911 it would ruin his career. I am beside myself with worry. To conclude, my question is this: is this a side effect of Pegassis? I would appreciate your feedback on this unsettling matter. Sincerely, Linda Busque Published: January 21, 2008 ::

My husband was afraid to start the treatment. But after 1 year of treatment the virus was at undetectable levels. It has now been 4 years. We are very happy but still keep up with the vitamin regimin daily. Published: August 27, 2008 ::

I have been taking Pegasys for a myeloproliferative malignancy (bone marrow cancer). It has been thus far very effective in achieving hematologic remission. My counts have returned to normal in 8 weeks at the lowest (45 mcg) dose. Very minimal side effects (a little fatigue). I have now reduced the dose to 35 mcg per week as my counts went a little too low (white cell count) and that seems to be keeping things stable. Published: March 10, 2009 ::
