Hi mate I know exactly where your coming from I’m in a very similar situation to you. I’m only going to take 6 weeks of Riba to help it along it’s summer here and the rash is starting to really give me the shits + my fuse is getting shorter but I will manage. I chucked the Riba in the bin a few days ago only to rescue it the next day before the garbos got it
My feeling is this, I don’t want to have to do this again and am extending tx length and adding the Riba for insurance. I don’t care if it’s a bit of overtreatment. If it’s some consolation mate after 8 weeks I feel pretty good especially in the mornings the worst sides on the DAA’s were in first 2 weeks. Good Luck

Before there were better alternatives, my plan was to go to Goa in India where Cipla have huge and highly rated manufacturing facilities. I figured I could have a holiday and find an honest pharmaceutical distributor at the same time. …………………………………………. not a bad option at all if you can make the costs work.

This is what I was quietly planning over 12 months ago when my specialist told me about generic distribution for poor countries. An extended holiday in India. Dr James and Greg Jefferys messed that plan up for me …. erm thanks guys

If yes, the gurney is difficult during the treatment as in beginning there are two contributes HCV and The meds
From a lay persons perspective and personal experience it appears that the DAA’s don’t really have many side effects. What happens is there is billions of viral cells being killed off early in the TX process and I believe this is the cause of most of our side effects. Our bodies will also need time to adjust to the new environment it operates in. Don’t take this as Gospel but it’s the way I understand that it works for me !

The options are treat them like criminals or fold and change policy, i’m betting the later. It was only weeks ago that members were reporting being treated as lepers by their liver clinics here, now they have changed their tune somewhat. Eventually the tide will turn.
I will add that given our govt has to try and win an election next year with an economy that is slowly sliding backwards, affordable access for all isn’t going to happen here anytime soon. They have cash that was earmarked for interferon that isn’t being spent so I expect they may approve the DAA’s for cirrhotics early next year..

I am pretty sure Dr James means 24 weeks Sof and Dac or add Sim for 12 with Sof Dac.

If someone relapses after the treatment of 3 month sof/led for geno 1, can he use then sof/dac?
I think it depends on lots of factors Enkel, hopefully one of the experts will chime in on this one.

Welcome Jaz 3a here as well, don’t be so sure about not noticing any changes most of us did. I would be very surprised if you didn’t have some sides but if you do they should pass’. Most are clearing the virus quite quickly so buckle up and enjoy the ride
