Ok Hazel et. al.,
I just left another huge comment on youtube! Screw Big Pharma and their price gouging!! Thank God for all the hard work y’all are doing to get people cured! God Bless you!!
Yes, I just wrote a huge comment and subscribed to the channel! On youtube I’m fathandRobert, my hands used to swell really bad when I had HepC, not any more! I’m happy you put up a video, everything y’all do makes me happy!! Sometimes I think ppl in the USA think the information is hard to locate, so I’m happy to see the video, I gotta run but I was able to leave a comment, a huge one!! ~Cheers!

Glad to hear it’s been fairly easy for you! I had an occasional headache and insomnia for a bit but the occasional headache and insomnia was gone within a week or two. As far as my tx with Harvoni, it was a walk in the park, except! I did have some pain throughout tx but that’s b/c I had a broken leg and arm when I was younger, so I now have arthritis and I went through tx when I was 62 years old . I took Xanax to help me sleep but in the beginning it didn’t help. Good luck to you, I think you’ll be fine!!
Hi Songbird,
I hope you’re doing well on your vosevi and riba! I hate hearing about mutations, it just adds to the hideousness of HepC and for you to find out 8 years later, my heart goes out to you!! I feel for you and I truly hope all goes well this time, so you will finally be cured! Good luck and I hope you have an easy walk through tx with the vosevi and riba!! ~Cheers!!
Big Pharma is at it again, actually they never stop, their BS is endless!! The US is shameful when it comes to generics, oh well. Nothing I can do about it except speak my mind, which I do. The below quote from the article speaks volumes, it’s a shame they closed the thread and removed posts!!
“To keep prices high, Gilead has constructed an elaborate thicket of patents around its treatment portfolio—and the soonest a generic competitor will be able to enter the market at this time is 2034. “
Yep, Merry Christmas to all!! Hi Gaj, happy to see you’re still at the helm!! Even if I am a day late!!
Peach wrote:Hey guys,
I have a relative living in Russia who happens to be a respiratory specialist. She works in a few hospitals and clinics etc. She’s the type of doctor that will go out of her way to help. I know that she’s seen quite a few patients come through who happen to have HCV and it’s devastating because access to any treatment (even interferon
) is limited.
SO… I want to somehow help. What can I do? Is there an option of receiving generics in Russia or would it involve travelling to a nearby country? If I can pass on some information to her, I feel like it would help so many people, but I’m not sure where to start.The Redemption 3 (etrial) is available to all countries. If Russia doesn’t block meds through Customs, then Monkmed will get the delivery done. There was a page that listed all the countries that Redemption had patients in, I can’t find it right now, but check out the link. It explains everything involved in getting into the clinical trial. This is an fda approved clinical trial, all drugs are tested before delivery. You have to supply your own doctor to order blood tests and answer questions, maybe even write a prescription, I don’t know all the particulars. The link has the whole story, my guess is your relative in Russia could help a lot. good luck

I like this idea, Cheese, think I will borrow it and spread the word, if you don’t mind. I can think of two clinics that are in my area, one is Harm Reduction Services and the other one is a free clinic downtown, not really free but close to it. Anyways, both have plenty of HepC patients who don’t have any insurance whatsoever and would be really happy to hear they could possibly get treatment without the likes of Gilead in the picture!!! Not only that, the medical staff would want to hear about this as well, The doctors who work there care more about helping patients, than any regulations set forth by Big Pharma or insurance companies. I’m sure they would allow the information to circulate freely in their waiting rooms. ~Cheers!!
