    I was advised by members of another forum to drink loads of water whilst on DAA treatment. I mentioned it to my hepatologist and he said that he wasn’t aware of any medical reason why one should have to drink more fluids on DAAs but said it was generally a good thing to keep well hydrated.

    My experience has been that for the first few weeks of treatment I needed to drink more fluid and I felt thirsty a lot of time. I’m not a big fan of water but I made myself drink 3 litres or more a day. But from week 4 onwards the need for water lessened and I only went back to drinking my usual amount with not ill effect or return of side-effects.

    Hello all and hi to Dr Freeman

    People could use a VPN, like Hola, to access the site in Australia by misdirecting the IP address to another country:

    https://hola.org

    I’ve been using Hola for about a year to access the US version of Netflix from the UK. Works a charm.

    People would need to know about the site first though and about the geoblocking issue. But there must be some clever IT person out there who can figure out a solution.
