One thing’s for sure. We’re going to wait a long time for the VA to get Sovaldi on the shelves. Vets are not worth $120K worth of pills no matter how many medals they have. What is of note is the nature of the side effects noted so far in the Gilead Sofosbuvir early trials. Adding in the latest trials, there seems to be much ado about nothing for those of us in the Genotype 2 and 3 classes. They aren’t going to hose us with Interferon again at any rate. Here’s the skinny.
The good news is it looks about like all we have to fear is migraines and pruritus. If that’s the major punch list, I’ll deal with it. It sure beats the pants off Thyroid cancer, DM2, blindness, cognitive dysfunction and all those other interesting illnesses with which to share with your fellow friends on Facebook.

Veterans Claims Help 
Coming soon to your neighborhood…the cure…oct.31 I go in for the latest and greatest .UW in seattle is where I got the transplant man it’s been one long hard road but I think we made it. VA turned me down for the transplant (I would have expired ) so I mortgaged my house and got a new liver.But this one is ready to fly the coop so this drug came just in time. If it doesn’t take I will be on full party line. G eno type 1 . didn’t use iv drugs in nam but helped my buddies with it . that war was really a goat fuck. sorry
Naw that area itches cause the government has their head in there looking for reasons to deny you.
If pruritis is due to elevated Bilirubin then perhaps after the 4 weeks, as stated in the article, it will stop itching when the levels return to “normal”.
To add to the list, I have received an anonymous member’s observation that it elicits “itchy bung hole” as he put it. Well, pilgrims, I, for one, look forward to it.
I already have hemorrhoids dragging the ground that the VARO refuses to rate. This RO has to be the baldest mouse that squeaks!!!! 🙂
