Hi Chris, welcome.
Hmmm that is tough, I would say it sounds like actual flu or chest infection or whatever, not the treatment because what they mean by flu-like symptoms is temperature changes, aching bones, shivers, maybe headaches- but not the chest or much runny nose like actual infection or bug brings.
I’m not a doctor, can’t answer if it matters on treatment but lots of people have all sorts of stuff happen in the weeks on DAA’s, never heard of there being any connection with flu and not getting cured.
I’d say the usual advice, keep up fluids, watch your temperature, take paracetamol. Hope you feel better asap.
Hi Jessica,
That’s all ok, is quite common to need a photo ID, or so I have heard. It is just start of day in Australia right now, I’m a couple of hours ahead in NZ. You can wait until you hear, or go ahead, talk to the DHS see what they need- a photo from your phone might be fine – it is just ticking the boxes, making sure everyone is who they say they are, getting the right meds to right person.
I know it seems really unusual to be importing your own medicines, but it really isn’t, is routine, and there is routines to go through it.
Why it seems so intense, I think, was for me, is this isn’t just any mail order package!! Our lives and futures are in it. Sounds like yours is close!
Congratulations Jessica, the waiting is hard, but really it will seem like nothing soon. You are underway, that is good news.
That is the great thing about here, FixhepC, doesn’t matter if we need it in NZ, US, or pretty much anywhere in the world, they can, probably have, get it to people.
I can imagine how you are going to feel in the new year, when you receive your meds. Look forward to hearing about it.
Just the best news Ron, and the whole point of it all. Good luck with the cirrhosis. I have been lucky, mine has retreated all they way back to normal from decompensating, so it is possible. That reminds me, must update my profile!

Hi,
The odds are so extremely good, as in rare medical miracle good, for all of us with these great new meds, GT3 is only slightly more likely to need another go. I was in that hardest group, had failed the old treatments twice, g3, had it decades, cirrhosis, on the slide down. I wasn’t undetected I think until about 18/24 weeks treatment, but I won the fight this time. Don’t even worry about all those stats, it is the finish line, takes a while, but sooo worth it.
Great to hear you have started. I felt better really fast, others that is more incremental, but your virus is getting marching orders, right now! good luck.
Great post Coral,
I was thinking that it is a holiday weekend here, which means exam study again for me (for the last time), and it must be exactly 3 years since I was waiting for my meds to arrive.
Pretty sure I would be fertiliser by now, I was out of time, if I hadn’t found FixhepC, and taken the leap- now I am well, the world is my oyster. We have seen some great stories- yours is one of them Coral!But as far as treatment goes in NZ, some things change, some things stay the same. (nb- it says I founded a buyers club- I didn’t- I found one- this!!!. They always get something wrong)
