Hi Chester

Thanks Chester, not fully undetected but <12 ul/ml. doctor said my immune system would kill of the rest. I ain't going down that path, it ain't done a very good job to date. But to make sure still taking Sof + Dac for a couple more months.My decision. I already paid for the full 24 weeks.Dropped Ribavirin. Had 2 quantative viral loads, so I have to wait till june 2016 before another bulk billed viral load. Unless a generous hospital will do it for free. Before I slept too much-10 hours plus. Now maybe 4 or 5 hours. Still have a bit of liver pain.
But I am content. The job has been done. kindly

Nah I wouldn't stop before all the little blighters were taken care of. Well, not if I wanted to sleep at night. Why don't you wait 4 - 6 weeks after your <12 viral load and get a qualitative done? You get 4 of them a year. They only do qualitative once you're und. If you're und, a qualitative is as good as a quantitative.

Also are you sure the 2/year is according to when you had the first. I know other stuff on Medicare works according to the calendar year. Like psychologist visits. You get so many a year. If you use them all between say October and December, when January rolls round you start from scratch again.

I had a burst of liver pain in the last week out of the blue. Very disconcerting. Might have been the Riba. It went away literally within 24 hours of me ending treatment. Got a few theories about it. I'm going to do a post about eot as all my nasty stuff ended up happening in the last two weeks of tx and the first two weeks after Tx ended. Anyway, the recurrence of liver pain was nothing so I wouldn't let it worry you.

Does the qualitative test search for antibodies? If so, we’re all going to fail that for a long time to come.

Hi Chester,

That is interesting regarding psychologists visits via Medicare. I looked for information regarding the timing for VL tests but couldn’t find anything specific. However I did find that for some other pathology test it was timed from the date of the first test so my assumption has been that the same applies for VL. But perhaps it differs depending on what the test or visit is for? Added to list of questions for clinic visit on Thursday. They’re going to be glad to see the back of me by the end of this visit!

Whoops, sydney compounding is china’s medicine. I was just pointing out how many days after ordering you get the medicine. It might influence the purchaser’s decisions. Its all good medicine.

Nope just RNA. Antibody test is separate. Not much point doing one of those on us. My eot was a qualitative PCR and even that the nurse agreed there was little point in doing when you’ve already hit und unless there are likely to be compliance issues. Not likely with people who are paying for their own meds.

An und qualitative means if they did do a quantitative it would also be und because no virus RNA, nothing to count.

yes , natco version of Harvoni generic was launcher later. The one manufactured By Hetero is very effective. Cipla has launched Hepcvir – L and the product should be in the market in a few weeks.

Hi, i am from Ukraine. have gt 1. What is the best way to procure medicines from India. i have a prescription from my doctor which can be presented to the supplier. I recently got quotes of 1200$ from a supplier in Mumbai called Bull Pharmachem for generic Harvoni produced by hetero healthcare.Is this a reasonable price? can i get cheaper than this? I am new on this forum and was suggested by my friend in Russia. Also whether bangladesh medicines are good quality?

want to know if there are no problems with the indian customs if i travel to india and carry the Medicaments with me. I am planning to fly to Mumbai in January but i am scared if there are problems with the customs in india. Bull pharma ships in ukraine with guaranteed shipments. But the import duties are far more than the travelling cost to India on these medicines, hence i cannot import but travel to India. got price quotes from some more suppliers but not sure if they are reliable since they are offering quotes as much as 3000$ for 3 bottles of Harvoni.
