Cured4real, I got acutely ill with liver disease in 1992 and the docs gave me a year to live. They promised me that if I took interferon for six months that I would be "cured" and my pigment problems and all the rest of the problems I had would be "cured". So when I got done, my ALT was 0 because I was getting fibrosis but the doc said because my ALT was so low that I was cured for real! Unfortunately, I was misdiagnosed and the interferon made me worse. Since then, my health spiraled downward fast. So its a sarcastic kind of name, but then also wishful thinking.
