Start first injection of PegIFN tomorrow, need advice

Have a test a month ago, DNA=5x10^7, HBsAg>250iU, HBeAg=1000iU
Today got refreshed ALT/AST=123/112

Will start the first injection of PegIFN tomorrow.
Heard that Vitamin D3 is helpful, can I take VitD3 daily during PefIFN? Is it safe?
Shall I take the pill of VitD3 which can be bought from the med store? How many mg shall I take every day?

Hi, jrai2014, good to have your experience.
My HBsAg quanitity is high, 37000IU.
Now it's 3 days after first injection. 24 hrs after injection I got a bit fever but it just remained for about 6 hours and now I am OK. At the moment, I feel OK, no serious side effect except a little bit nausea.
I've order VD3 10000IU capsule, will daily take this week.

I think you should be concern about your Vit D, Rather then other people! Normal people get all their need through sunlight etc.

When I started PEGinf, I did not check my Vit D, and I had all the side effect ever recorded in medical history, it came to point that I had to take inhealer like asthma patient. When I check my vit d it was 12 ng/ml. Most of my common health issues has gone now after raising vit d.  I am telling you out of experience the rest is your take. I'll try to keep as high as close to 100ng/ml possible.

Yes, I will.
Your VD3 is 90ng/ml, what's the normal interval of VD3 on healthy people?

Thanks.
I don't know my VD3 level, will try to ask the dr to test it.
I was born with HBV.
I understand the side effect very much, and now I think I am well prepared.
