I’ve just started tx under Dr Freeman. I’m 6 days into the medicine for genotype 3. I have no side effects at all.
I’m 49 and a year and a half ago I had had some bad blood results at my local GP, who sent me to a specialist who, who sent me for a liver scan and then told me I was ok liver wise and explained the new drugs and that I could either wait for gov to put them on the PBS or maybe try and get them in India. To be honest I just wrote it off and didn’t think about it.
Then recently Dad showed me an article on the man from Franklin Tas who is importing from India and told me to try it out. I was still reluctant to even begin asking about it. I had had Interferon tx at Royal Hobart Hospital in 2006, which was a nightmare to deal with. It was a horror show on all levels, from administration exhaustion, total lack of support available (which I really needed) and the shocking symptoms of the Interferon.
My Dad nagged me until I googled and found the man from Franklin and emailed him, he explained how he went about it and I put it aside again as the secondary drug wasn’t available in India yet. Then again Dad was asking me to do something and said he wanted me to do it now as he was worried the gov or drug company would shut down the importing. To me that made sense so we googled and got Dr Freeman, emailed him and he emailed right back and them telephones me within a day or two and explained it all.
The drugs via Dr Freeman being in powder form from China put me off again, so I left it a few more weeks. Then I just thought fuck it, just do it and made an appointment.
My fears, administration, no secondary drug, lack of support and powder were addressed. There is stuff all admin, no paper work to get the powdered drug through customs. The Chinese company has all the various secondary drugs to go with the Sofosbuvir for the various genotypes, mine was Daclatasvir. With Dr Freemans office, there are shrinks that will see me even by skype and bulk bill if I get distressed and the drug is tested at Hobart Uni to see if it is proper.
So all I did was:
1. Go and get my blood tests, (only as Hobart hospital didn’t have my genotype or record anymore).
2. Revisit Dr Freeman for the prescription and receive an emailed invoice from the company in China that same day.
3. Take my payment & invoice to my bank to be wired to the China Drug Company.
4. Get the drugs in my mailbox a few weeks later, all tested and packed into capsules.So if you have had a bad experience in the past, please don’t let it stop you now.
Here is a pic of my drugs Dr Freeman emailed me as they arrived from China, just before they went to the Hobart Uni.

I agree Alsdad, we need a thumbs up/smiley button. There’s going to be a lot more celebrating yet.
28 October 2015 at 11:19 am #2942Thank you for the well wishes guys, I can see a few other threads with same news from people…
here’s a few pics of the last day of interferon hell a decade ago… For me the fall came after interferon, I quickly put t on 40 odd kilos and went totally gray..
I got mail at 9am this morning and have just slept ALL day First thing I did was write an email to James Freeman to tell him & thank him. Then rang and mailed family & friends, then slept.. lol… Two nights ago I had a fear dream Dr Freeman was telling it it hadn’t worked, then read the log explanations of my results letter this morning first and thought they were my results 2 log what ever, lol…
25 years of half life ended.. so fucking amazing.
I reckon if there isn’t one all ready, to make a CURED section and move our strings to it as we all clear. illy:' />

Thank-you Tim, Dr Debasis @ MonkMed & Dr Freeman @ Fix HepC28 October 2015 at 6:18 pm #2976Thanks for sharing your story,
I too have geno 3 & was on tx 10 years ago with that soul & body destroying toxic cocktail.It’s interesting what you said that many of your health problems started after you finished that tx 10 years ago as same happened to me, including my hair went grey where before they were naturally brown.
Before the old tx I was healthy & fit 40 years old, after I felt like 80 years old woman!It is great to hear you are now clear , yes indeed 25 years of life only half lived…
I can totally relate to all you’re describing,
