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

Hi! im type_o im 31 yrs old katulad nyo nag positive din ako sa hepa b. nalaman ko ito since 2004 pa nung first time ako mag apply ng work locally. i was so disappointed and depressd that time na malaman ko na may hepa ako at hepa b pa. hindi ko alam kong saan ko ito nakuha. at natanong ko din si Lord na bakit nagkaroon ako ng ganitong  sakit. mahirap tanggapin sa  loob  kasi tama kayo lahat sa buhay mo apektado. nakapag abroad na ako once nag punta ako ng japan as tourist tapos nag work ako dun ng mga 2 years din. hindi ko na nabigyan ng atensyon ang sakit ko parang binalewala ko lang  kasi akala ko kusang mawawala na lang sa katagalan but i was wrong until now nandito pa rin sa dugo ko yung virus. i hav gf and shes supporting me all the way naman at tanggap nya ang kalagayan ko. 7 yrs na kami pero never pa kami nagkaroon ng sex contact. natatakot ako mahawahan sya. mabuti na rin nga yung magkalayo kami. Sabi ng doctor sakin mababa daw yung level ng virus sa dugo ko kaya hindi nya ako nabibigyan ng gamot na para talaga sa hepa b. take lang daw ako ng mga food supplement especially yung pang liver. i don't drink  liquor or smoke. sabi ko nga ako yung walang bisyo ako pa yung nagkasakit ng ganito. pero wala ako choice kundi harapin ito. tulungan nyo sana ako kung papano ko maihahandle ng maayos ang sakit na ito. God Bless You All!

There are many doctors in the philippines actively researching nucleoside drugs safety, efficacy and combined treatment for filipinoes. Many of the adults get exposed to it and can handle it on their own. Believe that this disease can be fought. Most people can get rid of the virus before 6months. Vaccination is also crucial. Most who got infected really dont need treatment, some chronic carriers may benefit drugs but it depends on thier status.

BioSlim, I know you are very smart, and a very promising career is within your grasp. You just need to be aware that some work will not be beneficial to you and you patients. Being a carrier of hep b, you are at risk for contracting hep d, which will aggravate your situation, and transmitting it to immunocompromised patients will always be a risk even after proper aseptic techniques. Maybe academe, research or administrative nursing (MA or PhD) programs may be more suited for you as of now. You can control your disease with the right doctor, check thier credentials and records. Hopefully you dont loose your optimism and still fight for your dreams. Hope this helps.

Wag ka mawalan ng pagasa. You can pm me if you want with your hepa profile, maybe i can refer you to a specialist if you want. Do withheld personal information.
