17 October 2015 at 2:39 am #2364It may be helpful for you to read http://fixhepc.com/blog/item/17-lismore-liver-clinic-now-able-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
17 October 2015 at 3:39 am #2369Thanks 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.

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.
21 October 2015 at 6:34 am #2574Day 7 report:
- more energy – HOORAY
- need 1-2 less hours sleep each night
- eyes have stopped itching (dry-eye symptoms before, using drops a few times daily, now not at all)
- less trips to the loo at night, sometimes not at all (& I thought that was old age)
- feels like I’ve been plugged back in to life’s electrical circuit – or is that a coffee buzz? (only 1 shot a day)
- mild brain fog sometimes – scoring lower on lumosity

But
overall feeling excited and empowered
And very grateful.21 October 2015 at 7:27 am #2576I play lumosity too! 3 games a day keeps senility away.

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.
23 October 2015 at 4:16 pm #2671Ohw…ok…!
