    Looks like there’s a few of us that received our Chinese Misochem Sof led around the same time.
    I completed my 24 week treatment 11 weeks ago.
    Can’t wait to have my SVR 12 blood test.
    I’m hoping to join the ranks of “CURED”
    Fingers crossed

    Hi guys,
    I still seem to be able to access all areas of this site from Australia, without turning my VPN on.
    Forum, Redemption, Fixhepc,

    PS >> I’ve just turned on my VPN which now gives me a New York IP address & yes i can now see the difference.

    Hi Beaches,
    I’ve only just set up “Private Internet Access” (VPN) on my computer.
    Will this give me access if the TGA pulls the plug on Australian users ?

    Hi Michael

    If I recall correctly you did a 24 week course of meds? so maybe due to that it may take your body a little longer to get firing on all 6 cylinders again. As for the sore muscles I can tell you that magnesium works small wonders. I used to do a lot of competitive swimming and running – on the days when I had a hard core training session I would take a couple of mag tablets a couple of hours before bed and found the next day that the muscle pain was more bearable.

    P.S really like your avatar pic :cheer:

    Sorry for the delayed reply Tina .
    5 weeks after treatment & my muscle aches & pains have been getting better.
    I’m starting to feel more alive :-)

    Dr James, below are the blood tests I had yesterday.
    The good news is that my muscle aches & pains are getting less.
    My wife & I just returned from a 7 day self drive holiday in NZ, where I did lots of walking tracks.
    To my surprise my muscles started to ache but I just kept on pushing on & the pain got less.
    Maybe being post Tx 4weeks, my liver is starting to recover from having the hepC virus for 45 years.

    Thanks Dr James,
    I will get a CK enzyme blood test done & if elevated, I will stop the Ezetimbe .
    I was thinking about going off all meds for a month & see how I feel.
    But as all these meds I was prescribed after I had my stroke 3 years ago.

    I’m 3 weeks post treatment & my muscles are still sore.
    I suffer this pain from very minimal excercise.
    Maybe it’s my age (67) & has nothing to do with the hepC treatment .
    To be honest, I was suffering some muscle pain after a game of golf prior to starting treatment .
    But for the past 6 months this muscle fatigue has got worse.
    Could it be related to the stage of my liver disease ?
    My fibrosis level, 2 yrs prior to starting treatment was 3-4 bridging.
    Is there anyone else having these symptoms ?
