Well done all
I’m under a nom de plume on that Pieper thread in my reply due to Australia’s stupid prejudices and all.
Anyway,
I wanted to know more about this man who is clearly not about treating all asap from his glib comment. He has a strong profile for the PBS.

Also, Thankyou Hieu amazing reply to the other discreditor suggesting we are guinea pigs!

Ty also international friends

For this lil duckie during my delightful 40 plus weeks of loo hugging on peginf I discovered that for me Ginger was the new Black
I’m still using ginger
There’s always buderim ginger of some description in my pantry and fresh ginger in my cooler drawer.
Try it grated into dishes and squeeze lemon juice over it to take away some of the bite if you don’t like the bitey flavour.
I’m a convert. Celery with the juice cocktail too makes it cooler on the mouth
My mouth and I are just beginning to make friends post DAAs lol

Hi Michael
I’m unable to get into Redemption section under main menu James has popped a message up telling us we are “re-directed”
I am still able to get into GP2U and the info on how to contact them.
All else seems accessible too
Cheers from Ariel
GAJ have I missed anything?

Dear Fitz
You have really touched me and I am hijacking your thread to talk about why a random lady (me) was almost dead three years ago not from hepC but from peginf riba
As a white collar who has lost much to fighting a disease I had no idea about…. you have echoed my story; the part about being treated like a leper and people dumping prejudice on us. Also the interferon part. I was pumped with it with no explanation no fibroscan no gene test and a VL of around 400,000 only and in excellent health
I have during and since had to take a huge loan against my house, I have lost my siblings completely, have had no help at all and have also had a huge internal house fire whilst on peginf which was massive and because those meds fried my brain and I forgot the oven was on and I had two daughters to launch in uni and so on. Yes I had to replace whole rooms whilst like a skeleton. I’m still called disgusting names. I’m hepC free but mud sticks and it comes from all sorts of mudholes.
I think it’s sad that two things are glaringly in my face and obviously in others faces too
Firstly the fact we have been treated with prejudice
Secondly I am regularly taken for a complete f wit for having interferon so recently and constantly read posts complimenting and affirming people who were educated and getting second opinions and the like. However I had no reason not to trust my doctor at that time, I come from a family full of medicos who then treated me like a leper and refused point blank to engage in ANY way with me when I told them in 2012 my diagnosis and asked for support.
No I simply got sent straight to a private specialist who put me on a supposed cure peginf riba that day and I trusted and I believed
I’m not a doctor I am a teacher and professional cellist. My life has been spent for over 20 years conducting orchestra, teaching the Arts, scholarship cellists and more. Where would I have heard or learned about this illness? Nowhere!
I was new to this whole thing
Now it’s so traumatic reading posts about the sheer genius apparently of those who didn’t do peginf riba that I see a psych to support me and the ongoing legacy of that negligence in my story.

It’s awful, just awful as I am now an activist a helper and a generics promoter. We all want this disease wiped out globally.
I’m thankful you wrote your story at Day 7
I won’t hijack your thread again but am relieved that I am not the only one who admits they lost people. Thanks again
I’m emotional too. How can we not be? The mess around this whole illness is enough for anyone who has an ounce of love for humanity to feel emotional
Shakka and peace to you Fitz
Wishing you well and a full cure too, may the weeks fly by fast
Hugs

Walking in Memphis … Very emotionally touching that tune
Same with Don’t Stop Believing
GT3 Ty for Dire Straits so here’s a good brag I worked on the Love Over Gold tour in Vicco in the 80s but said no to going interstate, felt a bit too young, to be totally honest. It was massive fun anyway in Melbourne to be so close to them. Knopfler was unpredictable each night no two gigs were the same what a musician! Nights were super late around 2am earliest then I was working in Flinders Lane as well all day. Ah youth when you just didn’t even think about sleep! Now we all have hissy fits just because we wake for the bladder at night haha. Well I do

Made it home, celebrating with an oldie that’s been playing in my head. Loving the tunes friends keep em coming this dinky di chick loves em
