Hi there, I’m a new member, who has gained some hope reading this forum, fixhepc page and Greg’s blog.
20 years of HepC, Gen3, fibroscan form 4,5 to max 6,9 (different readings every half of year – don’t know what to think about that). Viral load was quite low half a year ago, have a lot of anxiety issues wich can be from the HepC or simply because of living with this devil and all that comes with it.
I refused to take Int/ribavarin treatment so now I’m putting all my energy together for getting generics. I have a few questions but most important: should a prescription be for Sofosbuvir/Daclatasvir or for the generics? Just to know what to tell the doctor (if I finally find one – my HepC doctor has refused to write me a prescription, telling me to go on Riba/Peg or wait to get worse and get Sofa/Riba for free).
Second question is, should only a hepatologist write a perscription or can it be a GP or maybe even a dentist (I have one of those who I might ask).
Third question, is anyone here from EU? Not UK but maybe Eastern Europe?
Thanks a lot!
