Another really bad one is hepcentral delphi, the moderator there quickly removes any mention of generic drugs and prominently scolded me one time equating chinese generics to poison chinese dog food. She posts in huge letters that ” IT IS ILLEGAL TO IMPORT MEDICINE INTO THE US”.

Yesterday I posted this very simple, I thought non-controversial factoid, and it was scrubbed within 10 minutes. I posted it because all of the people on there were recoiling at the thought of taking medicine from India or China, when they don’t realize half the stuff they are already taking probably has api’s manufactured in India or China. With regard to generics at least, there is a lot of misinformation and censoring of good info on that site. Here’s what I posted and what the mod scrubbed:

“According to Boehringer Ingelheim, countries such as India and China, which now supply over 40% of APIs used in the U.S. will double that figure to a whopping 80% in just the next 10 years.”

Hi Gary, I have been taking them in the morning, when i started in Aus it was night but when i got back here, the night became morning and I have stayed on the morning schedule. At first I thought the 3 hour thing was one thing, but its weirdly consistent now. 3 hours of sleep and pow, im up.

Anybody else having sleep issues and maybe using any medication to help sleep? I’m on day 14, and now its like clockwork that when I fall asleep, I will wake up almost exactly 3 hours later, and be wide awake. It doesn’t matter when I fall asleep, whenever it is, 3 hours later, BOOM, like an alarm clock went off. then it will take me another 3 or 4 hours to fall back asleep and by then its time to get up and go to work, so its an issue.

Not an issue that I wont gladly be happy to have to get rid of this, but I’m thinking maybe I need something to keep me sleeping past that 3 hour mark.

I can’t take ambien or any kind of hypnotic sleep med because I get up and walk around in my sleep with those things, dangerously so. Other than the 3 hour sleep cycle and some weird and intense dreams, I got nuthin to complain about so far as side effects.

well that would also cure the epidemic and eventually make them lose their supply of customers., Not so sure they really want that to happen–like tobacco companies need a steady supply of new customers.

Yes Mike, I know the “fear”, I felt it and worried about it until I decided, F-it, they’re gonna have to beat me down to take this medicine away from me.. I think and know that some of that fear is actively promoted on other hepc boards. The one I used to read before I found this, hep central delphi has a moderator that immediately deletes any reference to fixhepc or generics, scolds anyone who mentions it, and writes in big bold letters that it is ILLEGAL to import medicine into the US. She called medicine from China “poison” and equated it to poison chinese dog food. She is suppressing a lot of good information and spreading a lot of misinformation. I have to wonder if she and that board are getting money from Gilead. They also praise Gilead on that board as if it were a benevolent god. Most of the people on that board however seem to for some reason be smug lucky duckies who were given medicine at no cost and with no problems, not sure why. I am concerned though about the active promulgation of misinformation on that board and others that may be dissuading people from getting cured.

Hi Coral, good to hear from you, so you were travelling to NY? New York City I presume, because really hardly anyone in the rest of the world travels to the “upstate” hinterlands where I am. Not sure from your post, you already made the trip? hope you travel goes, or will go well, along with your medical ‘journey;.

I just came through US customs yesterday with my prescriptions from Dr. Freeman and filled and in labeled packaging from the pharmacy. Like Khilde said, they didn’t ask me about it and I didn’t say anything about it. I had them in the bag with other various and numerous medicines I brought from the US just to add a confusion factor. I had all my documentation and a conversation ready to go if I needed it, but it was simply a non event. Sofosbuvir and Daclatasvir for my 2b genotype, popped first ones down the hatch the first day, on my 8th day now and feel fine.

I don’t see anything moving in there, think you’re gonna be allrite!
