“Here I will post my experiences and treatment diary. I hope it will be helpful for some
and at the same time cathartic for me too …

Big love & thanks to all, especially Tim at MonkMed, Dr Freeman, Chester, Jyoti, Dr. Amir, Greg J, and all of you at Fix HepC
I wish all those here good health !”

– quoting London Girl 9 months and one week ago!

Helpful for all and I expect cathartic for you!

Will do as soon as I find out my Facebook login.

Scam?? For Heaven’s sake. Even the Australian TGA can vouch for the site.

Hi London_R,

I can vouch for the change in energy with treatment:

a) over 20+ years of being HCV positive, the fatigue seems to creep up on you in the latter quarter. But then so did old age.
b) into treatment, a sudden change with increase in energy; over time I got the feeling this was physical and not just a mental (‘I’m cured and I give my self licence to feel good’ reaction.
c) post treatment waiting on SVR 12 all things well.
d) some time toward the latter quarter toward SVR 12 weeks (keep in mid this is in hindsight only) feeling familiar symptoms of fatigue…..
d) 12 week post EOT – virus detected.
e) fatigue increasingly comes back in the 3 months before recommencing treatment – LFT tests show red everywhere.
f) now back on treatment in week 1. —- feeling the side effects reminiscent of commencing treatment before.

Forward from now? Will let you know but I expect the same old same old: increase in energy and clearer thinking. Will keep forum posted anyway.

Just some thoughts though:

a) the change in energy is remarkably given that when the fatigue seems to have set in I was in my mid fifties and when treated 60, so I would expect that this is s good improvement given my age.
b) try convincing some doctors that HCV = fatigue! – “Just lose some weight, exercise and you will feel better”. Loose the Hep C and you will feel better!!
c) generics work (at least through the route I obtained them – Tasmania).
d) the jury for me is still out with respect to brain fog issues with Hep C. This will be informed with second treatment, but right now I have a deep suspicion that life minus Hep C is a much more clear then with it.

All the best for treatment.

Hi stingray,

Came across your post via an update by Dr Freeman just now.

I joined this site 20th Oct 2015 – some 5 weeks after you.

Noticed you only posted once – hope you got treated.

Site certainly has proven to be ‘legit’!

Hi countless,

I did manage to relapse being GT 3 which is a drag to say the least.

My ‘severe’ side effects during treatment were these:

a) a slight dent in the wallet paying for generic medications.
b) Undetected HCV during treatment.
c) AFT and ALT levels back to normal.
d) fatigue gone.

As for these side effects, now back on treatment and bring it on.

Yours

Jeff

Don’t bury your head in the sand between the high and low tide watermarks – the world may have changed when you come back up for air.

Can anyone update me about Velpatasvir’s availability? Did a search on this site but if this info is there, I did not find it.

Just curious mind you.

There has been some documentaries on recently discussing how JFK had many dreams about social justice, particularly civil rights for Negro Americans, but it was LBJ that had the political savvy to have them realised.

Most of my generation here in Australia unfortunately remember LBJ for the Vietnam War going on at the time. Mention of this situation with such an Act makes me shudder at the thought of how complicated American politics really is.
