I have severe anemia from hepatitis c treatment (interferon). Been on interferon for 16 months and the virus is finally undetectable, but I have to be on the shots another two months. Extremely tired and feel sick all the time. Help !!!

You need to talk to the dr. There are injectable medicines for anemia or blood transfusions depending on how bad the anemia is. OR you may just need to take iron supplements. Either way you need to feel better so ask the doc. he/she should be able to help. My husband has anemia from MDS and has to have blood transfusions and arensep injections.good luck feel better and congrats that the virus is in remission!!!
