Can I still reach my Dream? Is there a life after Hepatitis B?

Im a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Nursing in FEU and I now, a REGISTERED NURSE as I passed the Nov 2008 board examination. I graduated as *** LAUDE in my school hoping that this recognition could bring me to success. Until now, i can't believe that all my dreams will just fade because of my condition. I was diagnosed with hepatitis B when we had our screening when I was in 2nd year college..I wAS so blessed that i was able to finish college even with this kind of condition. But now, that i'm a registered nurse, new worries and fears hunted me..." Do I still have a chance to work as a nurse in the other country?" " iS it possible for me to work here in the Philippines as a nurse knowing that Filipinos are not that open and very strict with regards to this kind of topics?" Now I don't know what to do...Im just praying for someone that God will send to me, which will serve as his instrument in giving me hope and encouragement with regards to my condition. I'm a healthy carrier since I got this disease from my mom...Hope for your reply

Hello I'm David Williams by name, From USA I'm giving a testimony about Dr.Akereco the great Spell caster who is still a Herbalist, he has the cure to all manner of diseases, he cured my HIV disease, though I went through different website I saw different testimonies about different spell casters and herbalist, I was like: "Many people have the HIV cure why are people still suffering from it?" I though of it, then I contact Dr.Akereco via email: ***@**** he replied my mail and Needed some Information about me, then I sent them to him,and told me am going to buy some items to make every thing work for good and i told the great Dr no problem , he prepared it (CURE) as prescribed by him and I went for check-up 2 weeks after finishing the medicine, I was tested HIV negative.If you are HIV positive or yo need love spell to bring back you lost lover you contact him via email: ***@**** have a good day David.

Im a radiologic technologist, i got my hepa b from my mom at nalaman ko lg nun nung college dn ako that im a carrier. and now that i had a son pnavaccine ko agad para d mahawa. By Gods grace wala syang hepa. However I was planning to go to middle east but When I consult a doctor >1% ang chance na gumaling. Even i knew I had this i have a big positive outlook na gagaling ako until he said that to me. It feels na gumuho lahat ng pangarap ko. Gustung gusto ko makawork kahit saang country but how?!

I am from los angeles,california, I want to testify on how i got cured from HIV AIDS, I got infected with HIV AIDS disease in 2011 and I have visited several herbalists, spiritualists and pastors for cure but all to no avail, my world was gradually coming to an end until i saw a post in a health forum about a herbal spell caster from Africa who casts herbal spells to cure all kinds of deadly diseases including HIV AIDS, ALS, MND, Epilepsy, Leukemia, Asthma, Cancer, Ghonorhea etc, at first i doubted if it was real but decided to give it a try, when i contacted this herbal spell caster via his email, he prepared a herbal spell portion and sent it to me via courier service, when i received this herbal spell portion, he gave me step by step instructions on how to apply it, when i applied it as instructed, i was cured of this deadly disease within 7days, I am now HIV Negative (-) all thanks to Dr. ODUMEGU . Contact this great herbal spell caster via his Email: dr.***@**** or call 234 705 907 4351 Goodluck.

Hi everyone! Lucky to found this site, better late than never. Anyways, just want to share my situation, i'm also a Nurse by profession. Nadiagnosed ako na merong Hepa B last 2008 when I was 1st year college in nursing, yes na dissappoint ako, but that time I'm still hoping na there's a life after I graduate and I believe it's a calling e. Right now, I'm. NICU staff nurse in a public hospital dito sa Pinas (not to mention the name). My concern lg po is, I know everyone of us wants to go abroad to have a greener pasture, and middle east are very strict in terms of HBV. But, how about Singapore? Does anyone knows current situation of singapore in terms of HBV? I know meron silang, medical examnation na kino-conduct every 6mo's talaga, but ina-allow ba nila yung mga nurses with HBV? Does the employer can give waiver with regards to this? Kasi yung sakin, inactive and non-infectious naman daw sabi ng doctor ko. Your thoughts would be highly appreciated. God Bless po sa lahat sa atin. #yellowwariors

I just saw your post. Hope you are on antiviral therapy  like entecavir or newly approved drug tenofovir. Very important to get HBV DNA to undetectable level, SGOT, SGPT to within limits.
My doctor recommended not to go on peg interferon with HbeAg -ve. It may interfere with other anti-viral therapy.
With this it is manageable. I am managing it for last 10+ years with regular liver profile test. Wish you all the best.
Good luck as  far as migrating to another country.

hi guys pasensiya na tagal ko di nakabisita. hehe. pero madalas ako dun sa mga international forums. at eto napagalaman ko dun share ko lang:

condition1:
HbeAG positive
SGPT/SGOT not normal
HBV DNA very high
liver fibrosis F1-F2

Suggestion: treatment is important, take antiviral either tenofovir or entecavir until magnegative ang hbeag and anti hbe positive. SGPT/SGOT normal and HBV DNA undetectable. Kapag nangyari lahat ng ito monitor na ang HBSAG QUANTITATIVE in IU/ML.. usuless na ang ibang test kapag lahat nagnormal na. Take vitd25OH test also, kapag deficient ka kasi mas mababa immune system. You can take vitd3 10,000 IU kng deficient

condition1:
HbeAG negative
anti-Hbe positive
SGPT/SGOT normal
HBV DNA undetected
liver fibrosis normal
HBSAG QUANTITATIVE IN IU/ML more than 2000 IU/ML

suggestion: take antivirals and montitor hbsag count, again in IU/ML.. hindi ung mga normal na test kasi useless un. Anitivirals continued until less than 1500 IU/ML na hbsag count. Usuallt take 3-5 years. May mga swerte na nacclear sa continuous antiviral treatment. Still take vitd3 to help immune system

condition1:
HbeAG negative
anti-Hbe positive
SGPT/SGOT normal
HBV DNA undetected
liver fibrosis normal
HBSAG QUANTITATIVE IN IU/ML less than 1500 IU/ML

suggestion., Peginteferon treatment to fasten clearance. Pero marami kasi side effect to so you can decide na magantiviral ng derecho depende kng bumababa hbsag count mo. Pero kng dna napapababa hbsag count mo mas ok na magpegniterferon na pra maclear. Again takingt vitd3 is important.


Sa lahat ng condition na to mainam dn magpatest ng ibang liver blood test such as cirrhosis markers, vitd25OH, creatinine atbp dahil may ibang tao na dahil sa gamot nagkakaron ng side effect, kaya mainaman pdin nagpapacheckup sa doktor..

Hello sa inyong lahat.. akala ko ako lang ang nagkaganito. Diagnosed din ako ng HBV reactive nung 2nd yr. college pa ako sa nursing yr 2008 but sadly until now Reactive parin ako.. Nagwork na ako as a Nurse dito sa Province namin, no body knows na reactive ako sa Hepa, pero tinatago ko lang talaga ito dahil matakot sa discrimination at pagdirian, even my Ex and present girlfriend doesn't know about my condition, pero mga Nurses din sila at vaccinated din sila ng Hepa, Im just Glad na supportive ang  mother ko. I consulted back my Doctor and having my treatment now. kakastart ko lang inum ng gamot. hopefully by God's grace mawawala na itong Hep B virus na ito sa katawan ko kahit na sabi ng Doctor na less chances na mawla ang virus kc miniminize lang ng gamot ang virus but not totally will cure the disease. walang imposible basta magtiwala lang sa Kanya, God is great all the time.. tnx for this blog at kahit papano meron tayong mapaglabasan ng dinaramdam natin.. I was really sad for having this disease coz i know the same with you people, we never wish to have it. masakit talaga sa damdamin, sometimes we could ask bakit ako pa? kasi marami akong pangarap para sa pamilya ko para makatulong sana.. pero mahirap sa condition na ito. kasi alanganin tayong mag apply ng trabaho.. kasi almost of the agencies na aaplyan natin ay may health status requirements.. eh the worst ito pang sakit na nakakahawa, at sa may walang knowledge about sa ating condition even to those other nurses na wala nito ay kung maka react sila ay kung puede pa hindi na lalapt sa iyo dahil matakot na mahawaan sila.. I was rotated to operating room as OR Nurse kaya sobrang ingat ako sa pag handle sa pt. specially dierect contact with blood and  secretions. pero ngayon tumigil na ako sa work ko Im planning to take NCLEX, meron akong nabasa dito hindi daw strikto sa US at Europe, hopefully totoo yun at sana by God's will makakapunta din ako ng US. God speed every one.  Entecavir (baraclude) 500mcg nga pala ang gamot na tinitake ko, to those who want to take antiviral drug, please consult first your doctor kasi puede rin sirain ng gamot ang katawan mo if nag take ka yet hindi naman kailangan, just follow your Physician's advised.

Hello GoodMan 1,
Thanks for mentioning the Blood Electrification. I've experimented with this gadget using my self-built blood electrification. The result was, lumabas sa ilong ko yung na electricute na mga pathogens. Meron kasi akong sinus which I think acquired in our work, semiconductor industry. Then I started building for my friends which they have requested. I'm selling this for
Php 2,700/pc. Includes TENS pads, 4pcs., battery 9volts, ac adaptor 9volts.
Try nyo! This is following the circuit of Bob Beck. 6Hz & 35 Hz frequency selection.
27volts output, 100-700microAmp. This blood electrification is combine with Magnetic Pulser also by Bob Beck.
This is Php 5,600/pc.

Thanks,
