Hi Matt Thanks for your tip on getting rid of beer bellies. It’s been quite a few years since I’ve shot beer out of my nose … I’ve had some pretty funny drinking mates over the years and there is nothing better for the soul than when one of them cracks you up while you’re taking a sip of your beer … and VOILA … out it comes … through your nose … yep, there’s nothing better than a true belly laugh and beer shooting out of your nose … it really makes your eyes water … and sooths the soul. These days, however, I’ve been drinking more milk than beer. 1983: Hospitalised with Acute non-A, non-B Hepatitis after ICU blood transfusion 3mths earlier => HCV GT2 22/02/16: (pre-tmt) ALT 61, VL 2.48 IU/ml Hepascore 0.32 (F1/2), fatigue, brain fog, bloating (Treatment Naïve) 10/04/16: (Start tmt) Sofovir +DaclaHep (SOF + DCV) by Hetero Labs in India 09/05/16: ALT 34, VL: NOT Detected 17/6/16 FBG 5.7; PPBG (@14.22) 6.9 (@ 20.45) 7.1; BP 124/72 The following user(s) said Thank You: Matt-Kenney-google, fitz | |

Hi Ariel You are very lucky to have a good GP who puts your health ahead of his/her own self interests. Unfortunately, 6min medicine has become entrenched in this country. Anything that requires a bit of thinking, or ‘research’, is put in the too hard basket and palmed off to someone else (and have to wait months to see) … next patient please … here’s an antibiotic script for your runny nose and another repeat of Ritalin for little Johnny … next patient please … This is a gross generalisation … there are good GPs out there, but unfortunately they are in the minority. I would like to ask the majority, to look at themselves in the mirror tonight when they are brushing their teeth … and ask themselves, what happened to that bright eyed med student who went around ad nauseam telling everyone how many thousands of patients they were going to cure … well, here’s your chance … and, in the main … you’re asleep at the wheel. 1983: Hospitalised with Acute non-A, non-B Hepatitis after ICU blood transfusion 3mths earlier => HCV GT2 22/02/16: (pre-tmt) ALT 61, VL 2.48 IU/ml Hepascore 0.32 (F1/2), fatigue, brain fog, bloating (Treatment Naïve) 10/04/16: (Start tmt) Sofovir +DaclaHep (SOF + DCV) by Hetero Labs in India 09/05/16: ALT 34, VL: NOT Detected 17/6/16 FBG 5.7; PPBG (@14.22) 6.9 (@ 20.45) 7.1; BP 124/72 | |

Hi GT2 It wasn't always this easy. I wasn't happy for a good while but stuck. Fortunately I discovered a great GP at my old practice when my old regular GP went on maternity leave, and just coincidentally he started his own practice leaving the old place just around the time I ordered my meds. He also provides pathology inhouse as well as lots of allied health even an audiologist onsite. He is youngish, caring and has respect for my residual problems re peginf riba and is supportive. He is keen to get people treated who have the virus with DAAs. His staff are kind. The receptionist is happy and polite. I can even book online. Yes it's definitely quite a find. I'm sticking with him. So many people have followed him to his own practice why, because of his excellent duty of care and the extra time he takes. When I was around week 4 of DAAs I sacked my hospital path and had all my path done privately at the GP. He spent time ringing labs to ensure we had the best assay and PCR tests for me. I really am so very thankful he has gone through this with me. As an aside did you see James post about thrush, I am certain that is what's going on with my mouth and will pop by my GP for a quick consult and show him the research here.

Hi Ariel You have certainly found a good GP. When I grew up, my doctors were like that ... It was a different era. By far the best doctor I've had is the neurosurgeon who did an emergency operation on me and saved my life ... very, very lucky ... to get the best neurosurgeon at the time who just happened to being doing his ward rounds when the ambulance took me to hospital. In my initial appointments with him after getting out of hospital, he took the time to get to know what made me tick, got down to my level, and progressively switched my focus from the negative to the positive. He made me feel like his miracle patient who survived against all the odds and, since I’ve made it this far so quickly, there’s nothing stopping me from achieving anything that I wanted … but I had to want to do it. He simply gave me the power of positive thinking. It worked a treat. When I was in rehab, I witnessed others with less severe injuries than me, with negative attitudes and feeling sorry for themselves, plod along and not seem to make much progress. On the other hand, I was looking forward to my next appointment with my neurosurgeon to tell him about the latest milestone that I had achieved. He used to sit back with a big smile on his face, listen to what I had to say, and then make me feel like I was one in a million & encourage me to keep on pushing myself. Looking back, I realise now that he was the one in a million. I was just one of his patients. 1983: Hospitalised with Acute non-A, non-B Hepatitis after ICU blood transfusion 3mths earlier => HCV GT2 22/02/16: (pre-tmt) ALT 61, VL 2.48 IU/ml Hepascore 0.32 (F1/2), fatigue, brain fog, bloating (Treatment Naïve) 10/04/16: (Start tmt) Sofovir +DaclaHep (SOF + DCV) by Hetero Labs in India 09/05/16: ALT 34, VL: NOT Detected 17/6/16 FBG 5.7; PPBG (@14.22) 6.9 (@ 20.45) 7.1; BP 124/72 The following user(s) said Thank You: Vororo, pat1, Ariel, Gaj, Lynne-Francis-facebook, IRMA88, Fara, Matt-Kenney-google, fitz | |

Hi Pat Copy the above "fixhepc.com" cartoon and send it into your local newspaper with a letter to the editor advising all and sundry that there is excellent support available for the 44 patients available at fixhepc.com. No need to travel to the big smoke or make unnecessary appointments with the local GP (and wait 1hr in the waiting room before he/she sees you). They'll only need to see their GP a couple of times to get some bloods done. BTW, GPs are in for a rude shock once online consults become medicare rebatable ...
