23 August 2016 at 4:24 pm in reply to: Spreading the news about HCV generic medication-place for ideas #22478
I emailed one podcaster, Matthew B, last night. I told him about my situation and asked if he would be interested in the fixhepc story or if he knows of another podcaster who might want to talk about generics. He is a great guy, a writer and a playwright and hopefully will get back to me soon.

Pride 48 podcasts might be a good place to start. http://www.pride48.com/Shows/1

Hcv Rna, Quantitative Real Time Pcr <15 NOT DETECTED (IU/mL) NOT DETECTEDI have followed Lucinda Porter on Twitter for years. I learned of Greg Jefferys through her Twtter retweets. Because of Greg’s posts I became familiar with Dr Freeman’s work. Now we will be able to retweet Dr Freeman’s posts. Great news.

Hcv Rna, Quantitative Real Time Pcr <15 NOT DETECTED (IU/mL) NOT DETECTEDIn addition to the edit I made to my previous post I’d like to add that I stopped taking lithium 3 months ago. I’d been taking it for 16 years and didn’t think anything about it despite my growing aches and inflammation. When I considered generic HCV meds, I took charge of my heath care meds for the first time. I told my doctor that I wanted to change my HIV meds and over strong objections I told 2 doctors that I was stopping the lithium with or without their help. Now once I finish with my generic Harvoni I will only be taking one pill, Triumeq (a combo of my 3 HIV meds). It has been a process and the generic Harvoni is the cornerstone of it all.

Hcv Rna, Quantitative Real Time Pcr <15 NOT DETECTED (IU/mL) NOT DETECTEDI took my 8th pill today from Redemption/MonkMed. My right foot lost almost all feeling below the ankle about 7 years ago. My feeling is now 80% returned. Every morning I wiggle my toes and flex the foot to mark my progress. I never imagined that it could return to normal. Other positive changes also and it is only day 8. Will keep you posted. Many thanks.
I’d like to point out that I changed HIV meds in order to take Harvoni. I went from Reyataz, Abacavir, Lamivudine and Zidovudine (AZT) to Dolutegravir, Abacavir, and Lamivodine. Getting off Zidovudine (AZT) started reducing the inflammation. The Harvoni is completing the process.

Hcv Rna, Quantitative Real Time Pcr <15 NOT DETECTED (IU/mL) NOT DETECTEDI am in the same boat and taking the same meds. I took my first pill from MonkMed today. 83 more days to go. You can see my starting AST and ALT in my signature. Congratulations to you both.

Hcv Rna, Quantitative Real Time Pcr <15 NOT DETECTED (IU/mL) NOT DETECTEDMd Shahariar Tamal Selim gave me the email address of someone who supposedly got the Darvoni in the USA. I emailed but am not sure if he was saying that he actually got the drug? Very vague response. Not too helpful. One does need a prescription in the USA. Does anyone know of a real world success?

I am waiting for a reply and will see if they can deliver to the USA with no prescription.
I also read Gregg’s blog about Beacon Industries. https://www.hepmag.com/blog/italian-job-good-news
Well, I just got an email reply from Beacon. I will need a prescription and have to clear the product through customs. My doctor will probably not agree.

Hcv Rna, Quantitative Real Time Pcr <15 NOT DETECTED (IU/mL) NOT DETECTEDThank you for your thoughtful and informative reply. I live in Riverside County in California. If anyone on this forum knows of a supportive doctor in my area I would appreciate the information. I have an appointment in August with my doctor and will print out the article and ask him for a prescription. I will also show him your excellent post.
I have spoken to him in the past about entering a drug trial and he just chuckled. I will try my best and let you know the outcome. However, if there is any way I can get the meds through Parag Jain then I will do that immediately. My score is F0 and my doctor says I have no chance of getting them through insurance. He actually said that I am last in line to get the meds.
