Hmmm, sounds like a discussion of Hep C treatment before DAAs came around.

“Back in the day, we’d inject ourselves daily with Interferon, shiver all night like whores in church, and spend our days feeling like bloated corpses after a Jim Jones cyanide party, and WE BLOODY LUV’D IT!”

Also, the fellow stage left looks an awful lot like Marty Feldman

Just found this today.

Looks like Gilead might have some real competition on the horizon.

GrimTrigger,

I’ve been where you are, and so have a lot of people here.

I waited a YEAR for an appointment to see a Gastroenterologist in the US to be evaluated for that treatment, and was DENIED that treatment.

My insurance company said “You may have your prescription [for Harvoni] filled, but we will not pay for it”. Talk about a gut punch!

My doctor here in the US had written a prescription, but I never saw it. No one ever bothered to give it to me, or put it in my hand, because they knew it was worthless. It was never going to be filled.

But I’ll tell you what, that pissed me off, really pissed me off! There was a cure, I knew it, and after decades of being sick with this shit, I wasn’t about to let that miserable insurance company prick keep me from getting well.

I can’t tell you what to do, but I’ll tell you what I did. I got on the computer found out about FixHepC.com and had a consultation with Dr. James Freeman at, GP2U telehealth. https://gp2u.com.au/ Cost me about $60 US, and that was about the best $60 I’ve ever spent.

After that consultation, I had an honest to god prescription IN HAND, enrolled in the REDEMPTION 3 Trials, paid for my medication (around US $1600) and less than 3 weeks later I had a 12 week supply of Mylan MYHEP LVIR, which is a Gilead licensed clone of Harvoni IN MY HANDS.

By 4 weeks my viral load had gone from around 5.5 million to 35, at 6 weeks it was under 15 (that’s Undetectable for all intents and purposes), was UNDETECTABLE at 8 weeks, and I completely finished that 12 week course of treatment a month ago yesterday.

You are in charge of your treatment now. You have arrived. Welcome to the promised land, brother.

God bless Texas.
