    Got my twinvir. Now going to see doc. Hope I can contribute my data to the good doctor redemption trials. Will be reporting my treatment here also.

    Thank u all

    Just started the meds this afternoon

    Feeling fine except a bit of flu like symptoms and hands feeling hot.

    Hope won’t have the nasty sides like what others have on sof + dac + riba

    Hi TM – Thanks for your update. I’m sure all of us hoping to start Harvoni generics will be following your journey :)
    It may sound daft, but what are ‘fa bit of flu-like symptoms’? It may sound odd, but I haven’t had flu for as way back as I can remember! I’ve had a cold and bronchitis, but no flu for around 20 years. Do you mean fever, aches and pains?or sniffle, headache etc? Would these symptoms stop you working or do you just feel a bit ‘under the weather’ as they say.

    Either way, I do hope the flu-likes will settle down soon and I’m sure you will start feeling better after your body adjusts.

    Yes it feels like I am coming down with a flu. Hands are hot.

    Drinking lots of water now. Much better after I sweat. Cold sweat though

    I’ve sent it again tweatmax.A copy arrived in my inbox.There must be some unknown trick to private messages on this
    forum.Sometimes they work,sometimes not.

    Those who are waiting should get their meds soon
