    Hi cowboyjavajoe,
    Paul and Gaj nailed it, as far as I’m concerned. Thanks guys! :+1: :+1:
    Redemption trial seems a good place for you, course I’m biased because it has worked out brilliantly for me :)
    You’ve come to the right place, glad you found it and welcome!

    Matt

    Hey Mikey! He likes it!!! Sorry, that’s from an old tv commercial here in the US… I couldn’t resist :evil:
    Truly do appreciate the free flow of information about, before, during and after Hep C tx sdfx on this forum. Being, not yet even 3 weeks into 12 weeks of generic harvoni, it’s very helpful to see that you’re not alone in what you may be experiencing and to get a glimpse of what MAY be ahead.
    Thanks to ALL,

    P.S. Michael, I’m jealous about how much golf you are able to get in now … I feel blessed if I get in 9 holes in a month these days… hope to see better days ahead like yours. :lol:

    Lookin’ good beaches.
    Thanks for updating your progress and experience with sdfx. As has been said many times in this forum, we are all different and so can expect different sdfx during and after tx. A wise proverb says, “Plans fail when there is no consultation, But there is accomplishment through many advisors.” Thank you, for adding your voice to OUR consultation sis.
    Hope to be seeing it still in the months to come … let that “generic rebel spirit” SOAR! ;) :+1: #love #flower

    Hey RHF,
    I’m not certain that there is a clear delineation between the “Reflection area” and the “Joke area” <img style=illy:' /> Thus the title “A Kind of Joke Area” eh?
    Well said on ALL accounts. Loved it.

    Cheers back to ya!

    Nicely put Ariel, sometimes, as with almost all of us humans there’s a knee jerk reaction and we / I need to vent the frustrations and sadness felt at the prospect of losing touch with such newly found friends like yourself and the other “Awesome Aussies” we OS’ers have come to know and care about as much as they care about us on this forum.
    … Thanks for that optimistic outlook, don’t ever lose it. :)
    You’re right about Dr. J, we need to support him, whatever he needs to do, just as he has supported us all.

    Although I appreciate your experience in the world of bureaucracy Hazel, and I know the argument, “just doin’ my job.” is the automated response from those tasked with having to enforce repressive regulations, still, I’m reminded, we heard a similar line of reasons given in the not so distant past, in a place called Nuremberg. Slight twist, “I was only following orders.” I believe is how the refrain went back then.
    Guilt lies where guilt lies … There’s plenty to go around isn’t there.

    Well said Vororo!
    Couldn’t agree more. If it wasn’t for this site I’d still be beating my head against my insurance companies impenetrable wall, while
    hopelessly begging Gilead, through one of their so called “support” schemes to help me pay through the nose, at a so called, “substantially reduced price” for their product that I am now taking at a truly substantially reduced price under the Redemption Trials. THANK YOU Fixhepc!!!

    Great post Thurl!
    Thanks for the link too … raises some interesting questions, as you do.
    Some things to thinks about in this thread.
    I still feel the TGA is overreaching, trying to make a sweeping judgement apply in this situation.
    Like forcing a round peg in to a square hole.
    Use a big enough hammer and it can be done, but I won’t be pretty, that’s for sure.
    Only expressing my opinion of course while I still can :whistle: :lol: B)

    No need to be sorry here Dr. James. No apologies necessary. What you and this site have accomplished, not just there in OZ but globally, is nothing short of spectacular! You’ve repeatedly put your own neck on the line and the support you’ve gotten from your team must be both, inspiring and humbling at the same time. That’s clearly reflected in this forum.
    No James, it is us who are sorry that shortsighted bureaucrats can’t seem to distinguish between humanitarian interests and corporate interests, because, let’s not be fooled here, that’s what truly motivates this move despite their citing legalities. Ha!
    We’re sorry most of all at the prospect that our brothers and sisters of the so called “global community” (only truly applies to corporate interests these days), are being denied access to a forum where a simple and basic human freedom is shared, speech.
    It’s not like we’re yelling, “Fire!” in a crowd where there is no fire.
    The sharing of experiences before, during and after treatment should not be legislated. And, dissemination of information about ways to achieve better results from a particular form of proven treatment should be encouraged, not silenced because you happen to live in a particular area of the globe in this, “global community”.
    How to access treatment, however it is accomplished, is not advertising, it’s human compassion and should be applauded.
    No Dr. James, you needn’t apologize to us, it’s the so called, “global community” that seems to be set up for certain ‘members only’, to the exclusion of humanity, that needs to apologize.
    Thank you and your dedicated team for being our David(s) against Goliath. I, we, applauded you.

    Hi again ff66,
    I’ve only just finished week one of tx but only fx so far, has been minor headaches on & off and that pleasant sleep time I wasn’t experiencing before tx … not complaining about that at all :) Did feel a bit queezy initially but only for a brief while.
    Hope you continue clearing from having to deal with side fx … Onward to SVR4 / 12 ……….. :+1:
    Thanks again for sharing.

    No doubt about it, the news is good for North Africans, and yet the question dt left on the table was, basically, why haven’t more governments stepped up to the plate?
    … I guess the answer is, greed still trumps need. <img style=ick:' />
    I agree with miko3 in many ways but Dr Freeman is right on target with what needs to happen to fix this as best we imperfect humans can.
    Fight on for generics! Support Fixhepc and Dr Freeman’s efforts!
