    Thankyou James and friends

    “…….do you see a bluer sky now
    you can have a better life now
    open your eyes
    cause no one here can ever stop us
    they can try but we wont let them
    no way
    maybe you & I
    could pack our bags & say goodbye
    and Fly Away From Here” Steve Tyler

    Don’t be sad people and thanks for the support to those o/s for your kind words to us in Australia and yes here it is again: (louder) EVERYONE HAS NOT GOT THE PBS LIKE A BAG OF LOLLIES HANDED OUT IN AUSTRALIA WE NEED GENERICS TOO. Ty.
    Now I have said that for the hundredth time…..

    Re this internet access issue, I hinted at it in my reply when I said VOIP and mentioned Netflix, ie; there are ways around everything it’s a matter of spending time working it out.
    Beaches virtually explained how without listing the names of the best proxys, VPNs.
    We can get around this.
    Aussies get someone to assist you if necessary because this is our forum yes we deserve access. There’s information out there available to non IT geeks with how to info.
    Some charge a monthly fee some are free. You can stream just about anything from just about anywhere.

    And then hope that we don’t get into trouble for breaking some silly law. Covering James back is most important. I urge us to all be mindful of his integrity and be circumspect.

    As to this interesting question “who complained”
    It could easily be anyone on this forum; reality check. I’m well aware of the risks of this forum. It’s fantastic yes, but it also contains personal stories and I recall the times very lovely people have been hassled just for no reason by other members. So who complained? Well likely an Australian. But we don’t really know who is behind the words and it could be anyone. It could be Gilead. It could be a Govt run Org. We don’t know

    I feel the main thing to remember is that we need to be respectful of Dr J.

    Thanks Beaches
    I’m feeling tired at times but only from my peginf damage so I don’t count that.
    Mentally I think my report card has a + beside my letter score now.
    Physically my upper arm strength is paddle fitter by say 75%
    Core strength is at the stage of “oh really is it 11.30? I paddled out at 9; oh no I better leave I only had an hour to spare!”
    Skin is clearer and fresh looking but apparently dehydrated my GP noted
    What! Not more water! I just drank enough to get across the Simpson gimme a break! Okay so I bought a moisturiser and I am having microderm on my neck for damage from peginf anyway. That’s supposed to stimulate the cells but at this age gawd knows. ;)
    Its on Medicare because its not cosmetic it’s at a doctors and for damage. Yes I get a red neck from it (redneck haha, generic rebels)
    My digestion is great. Some resetting of bowel routine post EOT intermittent for a fortnight or so.
    Slept a full day once since EOT. Thats it!
    I think this week is my best so far. :+1:
    The first fortnight post EOT was my most tricky and I am sure others would be agreeing after all these meds if you are not on riba have a relatively short half life
    We are blessed
    Let’s hope the good work in Oz can continue and that our excellent Doc James is about to enjoy some rest this weekend!
    TY FixHepC
    Xxxx

    @ariel

    I’m 8 weeks since EOT and have my LFTs in from this morning
    ALT 9
    Yes NINE
    I am not a teenager but my ALT is 9!!!!!
    Other markers same so low it’s great
    AST is 17 GGT 15
    I won’t relapse, no way! How could I when my levels are consistently fab. :+1:
    I will blog my PCR RNA which I am expecting mid week.

    I’m hoping my blog inspires people globally because we Aussies are not going to have access to this our own diary! Legals and evils. PS Aussies copy your diary blog into a word doc just in case you can’t find a way to high jump the bar ;)

    That won’t stop us shouting from the rooftops we are Aussies Oi Oi Oi
    Hear us roar!

    Okay so I’m using VOIP anyway as I refuse to be stuck with STD rates just because of where I choose to live.
    Hint. Netflix yeah I stream that
    Anyway
    I’m going to draw attention to the blogger from Oz in this thread who has not got PBS help, Woobia. Thanks for your honesty Woobia

    I’m really over the world thinking that every Aussie who has HepC got a magic script and meds

    That is not what’s happening here
    Yes some people have got the pbs meds but NO many many people wait.

    We need this forum
    We also need access to generics here I believe
    It’s very early days and PBS is $$$
    Okay enough #rant
    I’m going to my blog Ariel Takes The Plunge and bringing good news to the table
    I wonder how fellow Aussies who have blogged like myself in the hope of inspiring other people to seek tx feel about our blogs when we wont actually see them ourselves
    Think of it as Global Community Service xxx
