As I mentioned, Dr James has been incredibly helpful through all this, and now we think it probably best to wait ’till he can have full support from his specialist with the monitoring, as he’s a special case because of the transplants.
We don’t want anything to go wrong, best to wait ’till this specialist has had his holiday.
This is probably the best thing for him as he lives close to the hospital in case of any problems.I personally think doc James is the one who deserves a good long holiday, he seems to never stop working.
hmy: Never, ever known a more caring, dedicated & brave doctor, as our special Dr James.
We’re all so very lucky to have such a staunch doc on our side

Hi Joan & Zhuk,
I understand what you mean & I did get the feeling like he’d be happy to monitor him. I also think our friend is understanding it all more now & would like to get the orals.
Now it’s all up to the specialist, I gave him a sealed file of his meds from his clinic he’s currently staying at, so he could check meds against the generics fo interactions, I would have rathered also send one to Dr James, but they’re all weird about confidentiality etc. The doc said he’d get around to it………
This worried me.
The next day I contacted his clinic nurse, mustn’t be same one as you guys have though, because this one was quite snooty & didn’t know about the generics, ( so she said) and hadn’t heard of dr James & she just said “is he a liver specialist?” and when I said please, have you checked his meds for the interaction with generics, she got all huffy & was evasive & eventually made out that would take ages to get around to. Like it’s not important.
Felt like pulling my hair out. SO frustrating.
I’m going to try to get a hold of his meds list again & fax them to Dr James I think?
Hi Paul,
Sorry about your friend, so sad. Did he have the virus?
It’s amazing how many war vets are finding life so hard, our friend is often staying in a clinic because he gets so down & struggles with the hep.
& visiting there you see so many from Vietnam war & even younger ones from the Afghan war, all poor lost souls, struggling so much with PTSD.
I do think a lot of them get forgotten out in the real world, but the nurses here are always really kind to them.At least your buddy had you as his mate Paul.

Hi zhuk,
Yeah I agree, I think depression would be a hep side.
The stigma of it is enough to put you into depression.
