| Aaaagh! Just got this in email from MonkMed; Possible Delay in Shipping All brands of generic Sovaldi or Harvoni are going through price revisions in India and as a result the bottles are being remarked with new price.This can cause your package shipping to get delayed by 3-7 days.I will keep you informed and ship as soon as we get the bottles back in stock.

| Just wanted to update you all (wow, sounds kinda "Deep South" there) MonkMed/FixHepC - Your Medication Tracking link Dear Matt, Here is your USPS tracking link. Please allow 3-4 days before updates show on USPS site. Until then package is handled by India post and has not entered the USPS system. Unfortunately USPS does not provide frequent updates. You might see 'origin post is preparing shipment’ for almost a week but the package would be going through its normal route and progressing. There is no status between package leaving India and arriving in the US. Typical time is 7-10 days.Once package arrives in the US you will see ‘inbound to customs’ post which USPS will update status. The whole process is taking about 3 weeks now. Yes ... I'm doin' the happy dance!!! P.S. I copy/pasted this from a post I made on another topic "Where are the hordes of Newbies?" think I owe it to post same here GT1a; Got it some time in the 70's; Diagnosed @1976 Tx naive METAVIR: A2-F2 SOT May 18, 2016: CMP: AST 162 ALT 241 VL 13000000 3 weeks after SOT: AST 27 ALT 31 VL 138 Reached EOT Aug. 10, 2016 / Received svr4 results Sept. 20, 2016: AST 22 ALT 24 Hep C RNA "NOT DETECTED" AS OF 3/20/2017 ,Hep C RNA PCR "NOT DETECTED" THAT'S SVR24! |

Hello Everyone, So, at the risk of giving away the surprise, I was recently diagnosed with HCV. I self-ordered a bunch of tests last Feb because I didn’t have a GP, had never really had basic labs since I’m pretty healthy, (apart from some dental issues and an old back injury that’s now under control), almost never sick. But I realized it would be useful to have some baseline going forward. The self-ordered tests had some anomalies that I wasn’t expecting. High AST & ALT (119 & 239 respectively), low platelets (109) and very low cholesterol. A bit of googling, articles on Pubmed and I was freaked. My insurance was new, but I got a referral from a trusted friend for a GP, made the appointment… two months away. He found nothing out of whack in the physical. Specifically said my liver didn’t feel stiff or enlarged; re-tested CBC and CMP and ordered a hepatitis panel. Got the results the next morning: negative for A & B; positive for C. I was truly thrown by that. In the reading I’d done, HCV seemed low probability for me given it’s modes of transmission. My GP did say the “Good news is, there are new treatments that will get rid of this. So we’ll get this.” What he didn’t say is how it’d leave me penniless. Next day I got PCR results, active virus with a V/L of 824,000 and a referral to a hepatologist, which frustratingly, was nearly a month away. Several days later I got the genotype results: 3a. Of course, I’d started reading and quickly found info on generics which led me to this site. I’ve been reading quite a bit. Many, many thanks to all of you who’ve not only blazed a path to affordable, effective treatment, but also, for sharing what you’ve learned. Honestly, apart from the anxiety over this, I feel fantastic. I’m in pretty great shape. If I can feel better, I’d welcome it. But mainly, I don’t want to feel worse and I want this unwelcome guest in my body out. of. me. now.

| Hey hepCat, (like the moniker, can't wait till you drop the capital C to lowercase Just to remind you, as someone on here posted this bug is sly. It can hang around for years, decades in many cases and the carrier feels little or no effects, then WHAM! They're on a sudden steep decline. Not saying this will happen in all cases or even yours, but man, if you can get rid of this stuff .... WHAT'S STOPPING YOU? Jump on it while your in the shape you're in NOW. Don't wait till symptoms present themselves. That's what I'm doing and that's what everyone here did or is doing. It's a life saver/changer. Best wishes.

| Hi folks, I've spent most of the last two days immersed in the forums gathering info and feel I should probably come out of the shadows and introduce myself. I'm Mike, 35 based in Dublin, Ireland. Diagnosed with G1a in Feb this year. Diagnosed with HIV 5 years ago. I don't currently qualify for treatment for Hep C in Ireland, it may be years before I do, so I have decided to take things into my own hands. I'm curious to know if anyone has any experience of having meds delivered to Ireland? I have the option of delivery to an address in the UK, which I think might be easier? So far I have prices back from two distributors - both of whom I came across in the forum - Deep Lifecare and New Global Enterprises. I'd be really interested to hear from anyone in the UK or Ireland who has purchased directly from these distributors. I can't seem to get definitive answers on customs/import problems anywhere online, though I think I read somewhere in the REDEMPTION info that importation of 12 weeks supply to the UK is ok - but this would be with a prescription as part of the trial? I'm basically just looking for some advice about the next step. Any pointers would be hugely appreciated. Mike The following user(s) said Thank You: Ariel |

Hi Mike and Welcome! I'm am not from Ireland myself, from northern England and I haven't had any experience of the distributors you mention but did go on Redemption. I posted a reply to Deborah in the topic headed "Kenya, Ethiopia or UK doctor import enquiry." Maybe this might help answer some Q s? I think others may be along shortly with some more fulsome answers to your other Qs, Hope this helps in the meantime. Geno 1a, F1, tx naive, had it 35 yrs.

Hi Mike from Mike! and Welcome to FHC. I'm in the US, but there are plenty of people here from your part if the world. Generally speaking, REDEMTPTION would be my recommendation. Go to GP2U.com and book an appointment. Tell them what's up and the doctors there will take care of you. Scan your latest labs and have them ready to send. You will not be disappointed.
