That are fantastic news sumblues, wish you all the best for your journey
Hi happi and welcome,
Beacon’s direct links can be found here https://fixhepc.com/forum/daa-access/439-beacon-pharmaceuticals-sof-dac-sof-dac-sof-vel-combo.html
Hopefully some of our members will give you feedback on their experiences with Beacon and Sofosvel. As splitdog says, when you are dealing with international bank transfers it pays to double check with your bank that the transaction is fully completed at both ends to avoid the delays that sumblues had initially.

Without knowing more about your previous tx, how you responded while taking and whether you reached undetected status at any stage, it is difficult to advise. If you read Dr Freeman’s post to another member in the below link you will see he recommends that those seeking retreatment aim for two out of the following three choices of “longer, stronger, add Ribavirin.” Sofosvel may qualify as one (stronger) of the two things you need to do so you probably need to consider including one of the other two suggestion to give yourself the best chance but I’m not an expert.

I understand that you are on a fixed income but retreatment is something that should preferably be undertaken with expert advice and in your situation it is particularly important to give yourself the best chance of succeedIng this time. If you don’t currently have access to advice from a local specialist then I would recommend that you consider a Skype consultation with a doctor at GP2U https://gp2u.com.au/about_us/our_people.html
You would need to provide as much medical history as possible and it would cost you something like US$70 but I believe it would provide you with sound medical advice and assurance about the best course of action for your individual circumstances.

Hi happi,
Glad to hear that you have medical support and it sounds like you have a plan in place.
Alimul Razi is also known on this forum by the member name ‘Parvez’ and his contact details can be verified by looking at the Incepta thread in the Pharma’s Market section https://fixhepc.com/forum/daa-access.html
I haven’t personally purchased medication from him or the company he works for, Incepta (nor from Beacon) but neither have I heard of anyone not receiving what they ordered when dealing directly with the contacts listed for these two businesses in our Pharma’s Market section during the 15 months I have been a member of this forum.

Hey Happi, Beacon was great to order from, BUT make sure your bank knows how to wire money, because my bank said they did and they actually use another bank so things can get messy and stressy on both ends. It’s been over a month and the bank money wire blunder is just getting smoothed out. Stress and Hep-C don’t mix. As they say dot your I’s and cross your T’s.
Yea Happi taking Sof/Vel and really the only side effects are sometimes headaches. But what has been working for me is lots of small meals and more water and yep USA.
Hey Sumblues, Headaches are bothering, but seems a part of the therapy for many of us. Maybe you can check your blood pressure, which can be a little high. As mentioned in the other topics, mine was very high lately (170/10!), which can explain the pressure in the head/headaches. Sometimes I was feeling my head almost exploding, I also recognized after taking the meds that I have a strong high tone in the ears, somekind of a tinnitus (mostly in the evenings), better the mornings. But with the knowhow that the medicine is so effective let the side-effects be so much easier to support.
Keep on, send you some energy
it’s good to feel good again !!!! - You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
