Hi Oldie,
There seems to be an endless list of ailments related to this crap. Different people seem to be affected in many different ways. I had near constant infections, horrible reflux and dyspepsia, chronic muscle and joint pain and debilitating fatigue. I don’t know how many times, hundreds at least over 30 years, I went to the doctor sure I was dying if some sort of cancer or something. I had no clue about HCV until a routine physical showed my ALT at 225 and AST at 138. The doc ordered the antibody test and the rest is history.
The liver just has such a major role in so many things.

Hi Goat,
The headache. Mine was very dull, mild and lasted three days. You will be amazed at your 4 week labs. Your liver is breathing a huge sigh of relief. I was far more concerned about my four week test results than I am about the 12 week post tx test. I cleared the virus in the first month. 99% were probably gone in the first week. The same is happening right now with you I’ll wager. I worried for almost 30 years about why I felt like brumby crap (been waiting for a chance to use that one… all the time. Then, when I found what I had, I was worried and mad as hell at the same time. I am sick of worrying. I am ready to close that book and put it on the shelf. As far as the SVR 12 test- Yes, that is the biggie. Thats the test we all want to ace. But, if I fail it, I will give those little buggers some dac to dance with!!
Rock on!!
Mike

Smiley people make me smile!
Now we can smile together

That is beautiful!
Thank you.
I am a brumby lover and never knew it.
BTW, I love the lingo. My iphone Siri has a nice Australian accent.
Never actually heard it face to face, in person, but I plan to fix that now that I don’t feel like brumby crap all the time.
OK, now bush oyster….

The Doc is right. Many people in the U.S. (and elsewhere) are very quiet about their disease. They are also under a constant barrage of warnings about imported medications being scams and unsafe. They are so conditioned it is hard for them to believe that quality, affordable generics are available and can be “in hand” less than a week after ordered. That mistrust, I feel, carries over to any website that promotes the importation of generics as well. I have seen very high numbers in public chat, sometimes over 300. The site is very slow loading during those times, so I think the numbers are accurate. A lot of people see what is happening and many are probably using the information found here to import generics, but are reluctant to register. In my case, I was so scared, back in the old days (4 months ago…, that someone would read my request about importing medicine and use that information to seize my package or shut down the source. Things have changed very quickly, but people and their perceptions will take much longer.
We need to tear down that wall of ignorance and misconception brick by brick. By being selective in which bricks we remove, the whole thing may come tumbling down sooner than we think.
