    Why apology Chejai? Not needed hunny! Xxx
    Read again I thanked you for starting a thread with what I think is an important issue and Gaj had asked earlier for the link when I mentioned it on Ems thread.
    Thankyou again
    I hope lots of people know and sign
    Pathology items vary in price some are extremely expensive
    Social media has been covering this I watched it go from 7,000 signatures to 100,000 in a matter of days
    I’m sure any letters can be directed to the Minister for Health I like to personalise my lobbying so write away friends! Yes Chejai on a pension or student allowance this will have most impact I totally agree
    Hoping you are faring well we are almost at EOT only just over three weeks to finish now. Yay!

    Small update from the mermaid cave
    Went to Liver Clinic took privately sourced excellent path results from blood collected at around day 32 which was reported on Day 40 as UND gave a duplicate to nurse got gold star for providing duplicate rather than them photocopying
    Sat and waited for a gastro for so long I started making toys by blowing up the blue gloves from the sanitation box
    Organised EOT bloods. Receptionist didn’t know what EOT meant. Now does.
    Lovely gastro this time, regular one gone to Europe nice timing given the PBS recent thingy.
    I’m one of only patients on tx was told. You can all read into that one good to be our own boss hey.
    Booked follow up colonscopy had a small scare post interferon re polyps and adenomas so now need frequent check not looking forward to it hate general anaesthetic have a rough time historically but liver clinic hospital know about it and frankly I don’t want to have it done through my private health insurance anyway.
    Have read as many updates as I can and stoked to read EOT and SVR coming in.
    Just over three weeks to go here
    Insomnia has increased don’t care.
    Nausea decreased and I have put on 7kgs in total very pleased that the skeletal legacy of peginf is now resolved. Looking much better than just bones with Surfie muscle now face is fuller and tummy too. More feminine.
    Hair very soft, skin much healthier granuloma reducing weekly will hope for the best with that I would like to never take predisolone again
    Love my psych visits fantastic to chat to another lady who has ears and who is completely void of judgment re why I was put through peginf for no reason it’s been a very difficult realisation for me. Like how she allows me to grieve for my lost hearing and other residual physical damage from that tx.
    Very healing for my mind and going forward
    It’s 4am here and I have been awake since 2 despite a long day
    Gastro at clinic agreed that insomnia is a sx they noted during trials phase at hospital it’s just ride it out anyway it’s quiet in the small hours I like it for collecting my thoughts and something just do a TM (transendental meditation)

    So that is me done. EOT is April 4 no bloods til then as I mentioned when I got my UND earlier
    Just riding the wave until then and the Brian Wilson gig the night b4 so nice way to go out.
    Hoping all are traveling well
    Sending happy vibes

    Hi Jill the poodle :)
    Yup you got it I am on Buyers Club Sof/led around about week 9 now not long to go on a 12 week course. Very privileged to afford these meds which have done the trick I was UND around day 32 or so blood collection reported at Day 40 by my GP. I’m off to the liver clinic this morning so driving up to Melbourne ergh early start and thick traffic.
    Agree with you about the PBS meds I was told verbally not much would be given out just last week over the phone by the hospital. Hopefully people who were advancing liver disease got in by now.
    Have a great weekend good the aspirin thingy got sorted
    Yes look forward not back I hear ya on that one #love

    My recent musical posts are about people who have passed away it seems! I’m paying homage not being morbid friends xxx
    Australians today mourn another songman, who made his name in Musical Theatre.
    Media reports today that Australian performer Jon English has died, aged 66, due to complications. His former manager Peter Rix said he died after what was supposed to be a routine operation.
    “They discovered problems with aorta valves, a lot of bleeding was involved,” Rix said.
    I met Jon, he was as quiet in life as loud on stage.
    Two stand outs for me here, and he had a rock profile as well as this taste of his talent for musical theatre I post.
    He was also well loved on TV. Vale Jon.

    I am glad I received an email notification Zhuk. Three days iin the clink huh, must be great to be home, albeit in pain and sporting a big scar and a bit missing. Hoping your recovery is excellent. I expect you will have bloods done lots for your TSH and so on. You possibly resemble a pincushion anyway…I trust all went well with taking your meds and so on, and now onto week ten great stuff, almost there. I send you warm wishes for a relaxing and speedy recovery and lots of sleep to get over the anaesthetic and all. Love from Ariel #love #flower #love #flower

    Hi Tgirl most of us here have been fortunate enough to have our tx supplied via Dr J and team at FixHepC. Some of us have, like you gained scripts privately but they were filled by James or Greg.
    Hence these inquiries by friends as to the source of you script, where you were hoping to source your meds and so on. I understand the questions friends have asked to try to help you access the best fit for you.
    You answer you had “no definitive advice” but remember Dr J directed you to the information you asked for.
    I hope you have it sorted now. This site is excellent for accessing the most effective tx for your individual geno and prior tx and liver and bloodwork status going in.
    Good luck on your reaching treatment status these meds work and are frankly a miracle.
    You don’t need to travel to India. See Gaj reply as well. That’s if you follow the Idea of obtaining Dac.
    Someone else here can describe the importing process to you I am in Australia but many on these meds are based all around the globe on this site.
    It was easy enough for me and I am UND now and in tx still so where there’s a will there’s a way.

    Good luck
    Ariel
