Hello Sven. Thank you for the encouragement,I really appreciate it.

I’ve been talking to Dr James whose persistance has resulted in a 180 degree turn on my part.

It now looks likely that I will shortly be becoming intimately involved with Epclusa.

I am concerned with the availability of it given the current worldwide situation.

I had a look around on here and found the details of costs for the combination but don’t currently know where (China or India) it’s actually coming from.

Our postman has disappeared without trace and we’ve had no post here for over a week and the local office don’t answer the phone , ever!

But, freshly spurred on I’m at least finally getting somewhere, persistance is my new mantra!

Thanks again, take care.

Hello Dr James. I decided that before I spoke to you I would arrange for the various tests to be conducted first so that I would have all of the information needed. You may know that here in the U.K we have a two tier health service, the NHS and a number of private health providers. Because I am adamant that I will not have any involvement from the NHS in pursuit of treatment via this site I approached a number of private healthcare providers looking to happily pay for all of the tests required. I have found,to my dismay that this is not possible as every organisation I approached insisted that in order for me to give them money for their services I have to produce a letter from either my G.P or my current specialist. I know without asking that my specialist will not supply such a letter ( he refuses to see or talk to me following an exchange between the two of us), and my G.P. has formally refused to do so as I am, in his own words, actively upsetting the applecart. So no letter means no tests in the U.K.
I am of course aware that it would be impossible/impractical to embark on any course of treatment in these circumstances so I have no option but to abandon the idea.
I will take this opportunity to thank you for your involvement in my case and wish you well.

Hello Mar. Thanks for answering my questions, unfortunately they generate new ones. What is the purpose of the 2 sets of tests you specify? Are they essential? I ask because I live in the wilds and even attending a major city is problematic for me so if I can do without them I would.
I’ve never had this itching before, it appeared out of the blue for no apparent reason, what I mean by that is that nothing (particularly diet) had changed to account for its appearance.
I did 48 weeks with the big clunky hypodermics, Interferon alpha I think, that was bad enough.
Then I was put on “opposition treatment” which used a different type of Interferon, that was the nightmare I never thought possible, I lasted 11 weeks and was taken off due to the side effects.
So I’m not a fan of treating this disease, crazy I know but thats how its panned out.
I’m praying that the itching disappears as mysteriously as it appeared, only time will tell.Everything is crossed.
Thanks again, have a good day.
