    :lol:

    Voloro – You are tooo funny :cheer:

    I’m not a medical expert, but since I am “only” F0/F1, I suspect that quite a few of my previous symptoms like losing weight (despite eating 3 meals per day) were probably due to lipase/pancreas problems.

    I am with you here, lost loads of weight and current problems around the pancreas area which no Dr seems interested in. getting a new gastro Dr who I hope to discuss with – Fingers crossed.

    As mentioned in another post somewhere – Many HepC patients seem to have fatty liver and there is much online info re this, it seems , there is much elss info on us skinny lizzies.

    Under cholesterol, there are “triglycerides” – Mine are way too low, looked it up, bingo – low triglycerides can cause “malabsorption and malnutrition” – Saw a dietician, he just told me to “eat more”.

    Anyway, wishing “Oor Wullie” the very best results and thank-you for the laughs :-)

    Hi Tomas, there are few people here that have got NHS help in the form of GP and monitoring.

    I was advised to go to my GP as ‘first port of call’ by a GP2U (thank – you Dr A ) and although I took my time about it, I eventually got the courage up and my GP couldn’t have been nicer or more supportive – Really heart-warming and restored my faith somewhat that there are still Drs that care about our health. I think if you tell them you have made a well-researched , adult choice and can back up with some evidence, this can be helpful.

    I made notes before I went so I wouldn’t forget anything and armed myself with Dr F’s fabulous “GP Cheat Sheet” (tabs at the top of this page) – I think many GPs just feel they don’t know much about the complexities, so if you can give them good info from another Dr, they are definitely more likely to help. I typed out the tests needed as given by Dr F I also used a few phrases that seemed to help things along.

    My GP was pleased that I waited for the official licensed meds and this is another reason I waited for those. “Supply chain integrity” is important to GPs too ! Give them the facts that your meds are licensed and from a reputable company.

    My consultant was another story entirely, I was very upset after my last ‘consultation’ and I’m being re-referred to a new one (your right under ‘Patients Choice’ – Google) which does take time – Fingers crossed, I really can’t afford the private route.. There are many who will monitor privately, around £220 for first appointment and then usually less subsequently – but it’s the tests that are extortionate, some quoting as much as £675 a go plus £350 or more for a fibroscan. However, there are also some on the NHS who will monitor as a “duty of care” even if they can’t “condone it”. You just have to pluck up courage and ask. I found it such a relief to ask you know? At worst, they can only say no, who knows one or two may even say yes.

    You can also consult with the MonkMed Drs online by secure Telemed if you are concerned while on treatment – They are extremely polite and caring and also – affordable – actually , I think free if you are on a Redemption Trial.

    My advise is you gather some info for your GP and try that first. Good luck.

    btw Dan & Dabara – Vit B12 can do funny things to your urine and can make it go bright yellow – just warning you in case you don’t know.

    ‘Just present’ – Does that suggest you are just ‘on the line’ of detected / undetected ?

    Either way, 8 more weeks should blast that away Dan I would think?

    This whole detected / undetected thing is really confusing me I must say, I seemed to have grasped it at one point, but all understanding seems to have sailed away !

    Think when my blood test time comes , I’ll do what you’ve done and ask .

    Keep the faith Dan, you’re doing good, I’ll be joining you very soon and will probably be asking you stuff before too long !

    Warm wishes to you
