2. my BIL is a sufferer.

he went through ribovirin and interferon as a medical trial.
they got his load down, but the side effects were awful. especially the depression.

he recently got a liver lobe from his son. he was really lucky that he did the kind of work where he controlled his own schedule. dont know how he could have worked through it all otherwise.

best of luck. i know there is tons of research in the pipeline for this.
