Muscle wastage

Just a question hasn't happened to me so far hopefully it won't.

But I've been reading on some people who have experienced muscle wastage whilst on NUCS.

I just wanted to know what we could do to combat this whilst staying on NUCS?

Also, since I have stopped Baraclude, rectal yeast infections(sorry for graphics details) have resolved in about 15 months.

Just like those HIV counselors say, that nucs cause yeast infections.

Maybe it was sodium bicarbonate that resolved it. I take it daily, one table spoon in a hot water on empty stomach. But the bottom line it is gone, after almost 8 years. As well as black hairy tongue and oral lesions also have gone.

And No  the mainstream docs could not help me!!. And the fluconazol I took, only made my liver hurt so bad. And they still made me take it. Until one night laying in bed feeling like I will die I told myself no more of this. It took weeks for my liver ache to stop after stopping azole drugs. That is a big NO NO for us, and yet these doctors without any regard or thinking wrote me prescriptions. Even though no test ever found yeast. But then again unless they do typing for Candida species and similar funguses cultures and pcr can be missed too, no matter how many you do. Depends on who is looking at it in the lab too, and there are a lot of ignorant people working in these labs too. That loose blood tests, biopsies or dont preserve it right.

but Those counselors sure know these drugs, remarkably better then most hepatologists. And many of them who are HIV positive, and have friends that  died of HIV, really wondered why they give us these drugs? I was told many times straight out that it is an overkill for people with healthy immune system. That these are really heavy meds. But I was naive as most new people who are sick with it, and I listened to everything so called medical professionals adviced me.

8 years ago the star was baraclude now Tenofovir. But it is a me too drug. Same thing basically.

VL undetected. Was 30,000 in 3 months after I stopped baraclude.

Went on Chanca Piedra tea and heavy detox program. Increased Vitamin D3 to 30,000iu daily. I take 6 grams of liposomal vitamin C every 3 hours also, Seems to work. Hsbag I have no idea, in the US this test is not FDA approved. Also I have upped the dose of magnesium to a table spoon a day. I also take 3 grams of Maitake pills a day. I exercise best I can daily. The goal is to make the body as tough as possible.

It has nothing to do with any given marker of Hsbag per say. It has to do with the quality of immune system and overall health, in establishing HBV control.

We need immune therapies not more toxins, on top of the ones released by the virus.

There is a bunch of articles online that support what I said. Even though they try water down the importance.

But bottom line nukes cause it in some people. With me it started to happen on the 6 or 7:year  being on ETV.
