    Ariel, do you have GP nearby to check your BP every now & then? I ask GP/nurse to take mine every time I see either if them.
    Have tried taking my own at the surgery, but it’s always v high that way, but ok wit nurse, so have decided it’s the wrong size for little ol’ me.

    Hope this passes for you soon #flower xxx

    Thanks LG
    Today is Day 7 :+1:
    Noticed less sleep last night.
    I’m going through a family member passing over just now so a bit of overload. Enough of that on here I am alone at the moment however.
    My main gripe re tx is my banger of a headache which wakes me at random times of the night
    I’m managing it with panadiene forte on script and lots of fluids, I have two water bottles lined up on my bedside table ready each night.
    Apart from that I notice my gums are tender and my teeth a tad sensitive.
    Not much to complain about.
    I hear of increased sensitivity to sun while on this can anyone help me on that.

    Have a brilliant day friends
    Splashes of happy

    Epic body of work I had a sneaky suspicion when I joined this gang here that I might find other musos. Congratulations on this creation.
    I’m so glad you shared some of your work (well I bet you have a lot more too)

    Hi Debs
    I have had elevated BP since peg/inf
    I was on Atacand but a month ago switched to Coversyl because it is green flagged and the Atacand was yellow on the drug interactions charts
    I’m also on only 5mg and I realised that my huge Public Hospital which I attended on Friday didn’t even check my bp!
    In fact I think I too will book with my local GP for a check up thanks Debs
    I have had a banging headache since 4am needed a dose of panadiene forte and enough water to get a camel across the Simpson Desert
    Defs time to get some advice re these issues will follow this thread ty for starters it
    Xx Ariel

    Hahaaaa Life you have got this silly song going off in my head and lots of lovely chocolates visually dancing

    Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-do
    I have a perfect puzzle for you
    Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-dee
    If you are wise, you’ll listen to me.
    What do you get when you guzzle down sweets?
    Eating as much as an elephant eats
    What are you at getting terribly fat?
    What do you think will come of that?

    Let’s turn into fatcats haha

    There is clearly some nervousness among health professionals especially those in the large public and teaching hospitals in Australia which I totally understand
    It’s really just about finding the ‘best fit’ for yourself and the Doc you find will monitor you. Even the source of the generics seems to be a consideration for some medicos who are yes prepared to monitor but who have experience with say the Chinese vs the Indian meds or vica versa. We know that the medicine that James and Greg supply is the real deal, as a patient we have already made our decision based on enough evidence of integrity, professionalism, empathy (a rare gift to a HepC patient) and the thousands already clear because they have treated with the generic medicines.
    At the end of the day it’s about simply finding your practitioners preferred source and ordering via James or Greg and then being monitored.
    I personally have found that the compassion and kindness of both these men to be outstanding as I travel along the road to wellness, using generic Harvoni and being monitored by a specialist in my State where I live.
    Day 5 today of generics and never looking back. Goodbye peg/inf you were no friend of mine. :evil:
