This document will help you get an idea of what treatment your doctor is likely to recommend once you have your genotype and fibroscan done.

This was exactly what my.specialist worked from in determining my treatment given the options then available.

Note that it may not render properly if you’re on a tablet. It doesn’t on my iPad (it used to which is weird). All the summary boxes are blacked out. They’re the bits you want. It’s fine on my computer.

Hi Johnboy,

Do you have a hep c nurse or some health worker you can contact? Side effects seem to be very individualistic. There are 3 people (myself included) on this forum who haven’t had any side effects yet. I’m just about at the end of week 5. If you know Greg Jefferys blog

http://hepatitisctreatment.homestead.com/index.html

His side effects didn’t kick in for several weeks. The hep nurse at Royal Hobart said some people were having side effects mostly fatigue, nausea and sleeplessness.

I wish I could say more to reassure you but I don’t know how concerned to be. But if you get really worried before Doc Freeman shows up here i would urge you to err on the side of caution.

This leaves me quite confused. If this is nearly a done deal, then why is the HepC Council of NSW, amongst others, still campaigning so hard, and why is there such a complete lack of confidence in the govt process that people are taking action like fixhepc.com?

Because of déjà vu.

Glad I didn’t rely on them when they said by January. Or by November. Or by August. Or by……..

And because a lot of people don’t have the time for any more hollow promises or want to be stuck in a situation where we sit and wait until they say jump, and we ask how high on the way up.

Hi berri,

I don’t think you opened a can of worms. She wanted to kill that thread. The complete lack of any reasoned, logical, informed argument is always a dead give away in my experience.

Haven’t emailed Greg since start of treatment. Just because I figure he’s really busy. But I’ll be sending him a copy of my VL when I get it next week. FBC and LFTs done at 2 weeks – everything within normal range. Huge ncrease in my energy levels.

Nope, no sides so far. I’m keen to hear about people’s experiences on treatment too so will email. Cheers. Glad you tracked me down.

To PM, expand the blue chat bar by clicking/tapping on it, click the little cog wheel icon to see chat options, choose pm. Once the pm page opens, select the user you want to message and type in the box with the pencil icon. Do not tap return/enter to create paragraphs as this will send your message. Something I have a great deal of trouble remembering.

Can we PM?

Archer have you made enquiries about compassionate access to Dac. I got mine through Royal Hobart Hospital. Am taking it with Indian Sof and Riba.

Dac is made by BMS not Gilead.
