    GT2 that’s been happening regardless. I’ve sacrificed many dollars and quite a bit of my hearing at the altar of live music.

    Hi everyone

    Just under 2 weeks of Tx to go! :woohoo:

    I wasn’t going to post because there is nothing dramatic to reveal apart from dramatic improvements.

    However given recent developments around our prostitute of an Australian government I thought I’d better take the opportunity.

    My last day of Tx will be Friday June 10, and on that day I’ll get bloods done. 2 weeks later I’ll go to the doc and get the results.
    I am very confident (genotype 1a,F0 scan pre Tx, LFTs very good and VL <15 at week 4) that I'll be clear and if not I'll go another round or whatever.

    Sx have been none to minimal.
    Many improvements, including but not limited to
    Much more energy
    Wonderful sleep quality. The one night I couldn't get to sleep was because I didn't realise for quite a while that I was that little bit too cold and needed an extra blanket.
    Improved skin tone - yellowish tinge has gone from skin and eyes.
    Noticeably sharper mental focus

    My Tx is the branded Harvoni product but if I hadn't been able to access it, I would have gone with the generics without hesitation. I had become aware of it around September last year, but the chips just fell my way regarding the timing of the branded product being listed on the PBS.

    So if anyone is reading this and wondering whether they should access the new DAAs, I say to you do it without a shadow of a doubt, it will change your life.[/color]

    If I might reply to your first question, PBS stands for Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. Meds on the PBS are subsidised but the government. The DAAs were put on the PBS in early March.
    The TGA action is a witch hunt pure and simple.

    They are really good memories, just not enough of them. That was in year 7. Happened again in year 12 (Zappa) but it was a very empty threat by then. Zappa would have been worth it anyway.

    I saw the Masters Apprentices a few times in 1968, before being grounded from any live music shows for 2 YEARS on account of I came home 3 hours late from a show at the Showground. Couldn’t miss the headline act (Russell Morris), wasn’t my fault he came on late.

    Given that Aussies now have access to PBS meds

    Unfortunately I’m not sure that’s correct. Depends on the doc. And a few other things.

    Big pharma have had their private parts up the TGA for so long that the TGA has forgotten they’re there.
