I'm no doctor, but Dr. Freeman IS...and he knows and the others who have gone out and obtained these generic meds and become svr free know...this stuff WORKS! Now....I've only been on it for 4 weeks, and i'm going to go get my tests this next week (hopefully) and I'll let you all know how they come out, but I can tell you, for what its worth, I FEEL better, I have NO SIDE EFFECTS from the meds (other than some weird dreams and insomnia) My meds were generic daclatasvir and sofosbuvir, and if there's anybody out there on the fence about this, damnit, i say please quit screwing around with your LIFE and FIX yourself NOW, if you can buy the meds at these relatively affordable prices.

I was denied by my " first world" USA insurance company that told me to go away get some cirrhosis and then come back so they could reconsider and maybe possibly allow me to be treated,if they felt I was worthy, despite the fact that I already PAY those mofos thousands a year for my "insurance". Nobody knows how this disease progresses or at what rate the thousands or millions of hepc bugs inside you chew up your innards. You could wake up with some godawful condition from it tomorrow that "nobody could have predicted".

Dont' wait for some schlub in a bureaucracy to decide your fate, if you can get cured now, get well and have a Merry Christmas or whatever other significant holiday you share with your family. Just DO IT!! NOW!!!

Best wishes to all..

Well said 2b. I am nearly 3 weeks in with Sofusbuvir and Ledispasvir and have had the same side effects as you - very minimal. One of the best things for me is having control over this rather than it continuing to control me. I know a couple of people who I am trying to encourage across the line knowing that it is such a personal decision. Some still think it's too good to be true and I tell them that is true and it is definately very very good.

Glad I read your post, my dreams have been pretty crazy. I'm 1 week in sof/led and have minimal side effects. The second day my ears were ringing for about a minute, not too bad. I have been feeling fatigued and I have slept a little more than usual. I have still been working out for 30 minutes a day on the elliptical so that is helping with the fatigue. Good luck!

Guess I just had to get that rant out! I do get riled up at the "schlubs" screwing with people's lives, I decided to look up that word and found this, look at the next to last line, it seems I could have used an even better synonym for schlub that it says the Australians use: "RATBAG??" wow, I like that one better, "don't wait for some RATBAG to determine your fate".

Do you Aussie mates really use that term? I'm going to start using it in the US with reference to some of these "chowderheads, dorks, chuckleheads, meatheads, sapheads, clodpolls" and the rest of the RATBAGS!

As it happens, one of our US comrades who is currently here for treatment has asked me to teach her some of the local lingo when we go on a jaunt up the coast next week. So........

It makes me want to spit the dummy when these dipsticks, drongos, drop kicks, galahs and mongrels come the raw prawn with us.

They're as useful as tits on a bull.

Bunch of wowsers the lot of them.

The drugs will be available any day now? Pig's arse!

Hi 2b,

We do indeed use the term, the problem is that it's meaning (like so much Aussie slang) can depend on tone and context.

Examples:

"What a ratbag!" - Referring to someone who is using their petty authority to stop you from doing something.

"You old ratbag!" - Term of endearment for someone who has just sidestepped, usually with great style, an attempt to apply petty authority.

Yes.......in your case you have used it in the correct manner in your sentence.

Yep, nuance is everything in our peculiar dialect, as GAJ says. For instance there are probably at least 200 different ways to say "mate" which can have widely varying inferences depending on the inflection :) Lol

But especially useful when you can't remember someone's name. Or, in my case, usually their face either.

"G'day mate. Yeah good to see you too mate. Okay, catch ya later mate."

(Walk off thinking to myself "who the hell was that?")

Hi 2b,
I have my meds Sof/Dac (24 weeks worth) from Mesochem. Waiting for my funnel from Torpac which should be here shortly. Am anxious/excited, and ready to build pills and start treatment. Just got snubbed by my "new" Gastro doc, who chuckled and made a snide comment about poison dog food from China when I asked him to supervise my labs during treatment. So I have made an appt with another heptologist, and also an appt with a GP in December. Have
also written a letter to another doc who told me last year that she lost her husband to this disease. I have jumped off the fence, have meds in hand, and can't find a damn doctor one who will take me seriously and monitor my labs during treatment. I want to do this, but am fairly scared to do this on my own. I'm not as worried about testing the meds; I'm fairly confident they are the real deal, just based on what I've read on this site about Mesochem and testing done by Dr Freeman. Hoping I can find a progressive thinking doctor very soon!!

Hey SS,
Your old buddy here!
Have you tried to set up an appointment using GP2U with Dr. Freeman. The lab result monitoring is really all that is usually needed with these new meds. All you would need to do is get your GP to order them done. My PCP is doing that and I am sending my lab results to my GI several hundred miles away.
Call those Torpac people tell them get their ass moving or are starting to like the taste??

Happy for You!

Mike
