Joy To the World 8 years 6 months ago #1275
Hi everyone, I just want to add my story to encourage others who are undecided about FixHepC. Not that I've cleared yet, but I hope to be one of the 95% who do. I started treatment for the first time 3 days ago - after 30+ years with the virus. I refused interferon last year, waiting and waiting for the PBS to list the new cures here in Australia. But I'm tired of being tired, and jumped for joy when I saw Greg Jefferys' story on the 7:30 Report. The Lismore Liver Clinic said no doctor they knew would help with a script. My Indian GP was shocked at my plan to go to India. Then Greg's blog led me to this site. After a consultation with the trailblazing Dr Freeman on GP2U, the Sof/Dac was delivered to my door 3 weeks later. I had slight nausea the first day but nothing reportable since. Taking meds at nighttime now as advised in the FAQs. As Greg says on his blog: Maybe your insurance will cover it next year, maybe it won't. Maybe the treatment will get listed on the PBS next year, maybe it won't. Maybe there will be better drugs available next year, maybe there won't. Maybe all these generic options will be gone next year, shut down by the power of billions of dollars of Big Pharma influence. How would you feel then? Highly effective and affordable generic treatment options are out there NOW! Take control of your health, find the treatment option that suits you best and do it now. You could be Hep C free by Christmas. hepatitisctreatment.homestead.com/generic-harvoni.html MAY ALL OF US HEPPERS BECOME HEPLESS. (Not helpless) Thanks to everyone on this forum for the sharing and the support. NSW Australia. Genotype 1b 30+ years, F0-F1, VL 91,000 Feb 2015 (740,000 in 2010), Tx naive. Ordered Sof/Dac from Buyers Club 21 Sept, received 14 Oct. Virus UNDETECTED at 3 weeks AND 12 weeks (EOT) AND SVR4 AND SVR12 AND SVR24. A thousand thankyous to Dr James and the amazing FixHepC team. | |

It may be helpful for you to read fixhepc.com/blog/item/17-lismore-liver-c...to-see-patients.html The Lismore Liver Clinic nurses have been given official permission to monitor patients on treatment. It's great to see government stepping up on this. YMMV | |

Thanks Dr James, that is really good news. Guess I was a month too early. Do you know if the Gold Coast University Hospital Liver Clinic is also willing to monitor? I'm due for a Fibroscan there next week, and not sure whether to mention generics. Bloods in August were all normal. Thanks Em and Nadia, and Chester - what an interesting list of celebrity heppers...from Linda Lovelace to Gomer Pyle. NSW Australia.

Yes it's remarkable news really - NSW Health and ASHM (Australian Society of HIV/HBV/HCV Medicine) have joined forces concerning the importation of generics, endorsing the FixHepC Buyers Club as an option. fixhepc.com/blog/item/18-ashm-position-s...sthash.BUzjjAZX.dpuf Hope other states follow suit. And I hope Dr James can cope. 3 weeks ago this site had 4000 hits. Now it's over 1.8 million. NSW Australia. Genotype 1b 30+ years, F0-F1, VL 91,000 Feb 2015 (740,000 in 2010), Tx naive.

Oops, spoke too soon. Nausea again yesterday, and an angry red itchy rash on shin, thought it was a sandfly bite at first but it's grown to about 3" diameter & turning purple today. A 'fixed drug eruption' I guess. But this too shall pass. 6 day blood tests showed my ALT and AST have dropped significantly (since last bloods in August). So something is happening. Looking forward to the viral load at 4 weeks. NSW Australia. Genotype 1b 30+ years, F0-F1, VL 91,000 Feb 2015 (740,000 in 2010), Tx naive. Ordered Sof/Dac from Buyers Club 21 Sept, received 14 Oct.
