    I have, for the past decade, had 3-4 sinus infections during the winter months, all requiring potent antibiotic tx. In addition, 2 years ago, a chronic prostatic infection was added to the mix. The past year involved some really nasty staph in the adenoids. This winter: nothing. No infections.

    Nice!!
    I put on about 15 lbs during tx, mainly from just relaxing, reading and letting my body focus its energies on getting rid of the crap. No sides to speak of then or now. It seems there are a lot of different effects of tx popping up. Maybe some of us tolerate the meds better than others. Maybe underlying conditions. Who knows….. Time and numbers cured should help make more sense out of it all.
    Welcome back!

    I know the “niggling’ feeling Z,
    23 days until my SVR 12 test. I, like you, responded well to tx and the results should be fine. It just seems to good to be true at times.

    It seems we have entered the era of Hedge Fund Healthcare.
    What would/could Gilead get for a cure or vaccine for malaria? Ebola? The “target” market is vast, but, on average, very poor.
    It seems we have reached a moral “fork in the road”: profit-driven healthcare vs health-driven healthcare.
    I wonder if U turns are allowed?

    The U.S. government appears to have adopted a “don’t look, don’t see” policy regarding the importation of generics. I am not aware of a single instance in which someone had their medications detained and destroyed. So, affordable treatment is available to anyone that can come up with $860.00. The sad fact is that many people don’t know this or are conditioned to avoid buying medicine from abroad on the Internet for any reason.
    Ignorance and paranoia can be cured with knowledge and understanding.
    The TPP could change things dramatically.

    A U.S. perspective:
    Say everything with Pharmasset and Gilead were the same, but the disease cured was different: breast cancer.

    The people of the U.S. would empty Congress if the government allowed this outrageous profiteering at the expense of women’s lives. There would be mass protests rivaling or surpassing those seen during the Vietnam and Civil Rights era. Gilead would become the face of evil and Congress would act or each and every member who did not would be replaced by one that would come Election Day.

    So, whose ass needs kicked?

    Yes, the old “list” price song and dance. What discounts the various insurance companies and government agencies get seems to be very closely held. Rumors in the US put Harvoni in the mid $40,000 range for insurers after Viekira cut their deal with Express Scripts, but nobody seems to be certain except the drug and insurance companies and they aren’t saying. I filed an FOI with my state-run insurance company to find out what they were paying, but couldn’t because they hadn’t treated ANYONE at the time.
    Maybe someone will leak the info.
    Its hard to believe the government could keep anything secret
