Ha Vovoro,
I have just finished tx, if I get hair growing back, knowing my luck it will come out of my chin. Nothing else to report, feel the same as on pills, which is extremely well compared to the whole rest of my life.
Buyers club could start selling DAA’s as hair growth promotion and make a billion dollars! or 30 !

Wullie,
What wonderful news!
I just stood in front of the mirror with iPad in hand and it’s early days for me yet but I may hold off from investing in a Capillus 272™ Laser Cap.

Hey Gaj,
If only FixHepC would ship one of those with every 12-week treatment, they’d out-sell Gilead in no time!?
Hey Gaj, I actually purchased a laser comb a few years ago as I was so worried about my hair falling out!
It didn’t work and was a right hassle, recently sold on eBay for a fraction of the price…….Tried all sorts over the years and found nourkrin worked the best but gave it up pre tx in preparation and, as yet, touch wood, no big shed! In fact my hair is getting quite thick! I really can’t explain it as it had been the bane of my life for years. Amazing. I’m quite taking it for granted now, but it did stop falling pre tx…..Or maybe it was my prayers…….it did used to really upset me.Anyway that’s my twopennerth worth, oor Wullie, glad to read about your unexpected bonus!
Wonder if it’s happened to anyone else?
Well, we may need to keep an eye out for a generic version of the cap, the brand name one costs about 50% more than FixHepC sourced treatments.
Not sure if my little bald spot has filled in yet but overall my hair does seem thicker and healthier since I commenced treatment.

I just found this thread and made some reflections…
I would like to write here about the things related to my person that enabled me to get treated:
– Knowing I cannot be treated via the NHS system, made me think that I have to “do something different”
– I had to start asking questions about the generic drugs – thankfully I could find this place and a doctor who does answer to e-mails
– I had to challenge myself to step out from my comfort zone ( it would have been so easy to just give up, do nothing and simply wait for the mercy of …. whoever could have decided the treatment for me… ) and take a decision for me.
– I had to break many boundaries for getting treated with generic drugs (not being afraid that I might break the law (was not the case), not being afraid that I could lose the support of my doctor, not being afraid that generics might be scam, handling not only my own fears but also the fears of friends around me, deciding to invest my money in the “uncertainty” of generic drugs, etc)Strangely, for other cases I do not argue so much whether to take a generic pill or a branded one. I take the generic one (like aspirin) as I do not want to pay 5x – 10x more for the branded one.
