Entecavir + Interferon combo

[cyrus131]

Dear all,

     I have been on Entecavir 0.5mg for over 6 years and my HBV DNA is nearly undetectable.  I will see my doctor tomorrow and what tests should I perform so as to assess whether I will benefit from the Entecavir + Interferon combo treatment (i.e. higher chance to achieve Hbsag seroconversion.)  Many thanks.

Regards,

Cyrus

Bleeding from small vessel. not significant.  You have to cannulate a vein properly like a medical train person to get any sizable volume into a blood vessel.

Dear all,

This morning, my wife helped me to do the interferon injection.  When the needle was in my belly, she pull the syringe to see if there is blood coming out.  She did and saw no blood.  Then she performed the injection but when she pull out the needle, we found that trace of blood was inside the syringe.  Just want to know if the interferon was injected into a blood vessel, any adverse effect or will it render this injection useless?

Thanks a lot

Regards,

Cyrus

Thanks for the response. Also, do you take any supplements/health food?

Just had my second injection. The first injection site still have some bruising.

My injection still need lots of practice. Not much fat to work around and the hand is too shaky and unsteady.
