Yes my consultant did go and he was also very impressed with fixhepc. I don’t think he can officially saction by-passing the NHS but is more than happy for me to use the generic versions from India.
Even though NICE have approved the new Gilead high priced regimens in the UK, NHS England does not the budget to treat everyone, so it is being rationed on the basis of either those who shout the loudest – or those with higher fibroscans. Despite my LFTs and fibroscan being normal i suffer the most debilitating fatigue. I also keep suppressing my VL to very low levels – I yoyo from millions to (at my last count (10,000). there was one 12 month period in which I yoyoed between totally undetectable and a few thousand VL like clockwork every three months!
My Doctor friend in oz is nervous about writing the script – is there anything he should know?
