Suggest a good doctor for Hepatitis B
I recently got all my blood examinations done and my liver functions test, ultrasound scan are all normal. My CBC count is normal too.
My Vitamin D levels Were 16 about 6 months ago and I take calcirol every once a month.
I was diagnosed of being a HbsAg carrier when I was expecting my baby. Since then I got my antigens regularly & two doctors gave me different versions, one said I don't need any treatment as my virus is dormant, whereas the other put me on Lamavir and said I need it.
But after almost 13 years I had a bout of stomach infection and the gastroenterologist recommended me that I get an HBV DNA to see how is the virus progressing.
My reports shows my HBV DNA as 41,500 IU/mL
I am 40 years of age and looking for a balanced view on exactly what's should be the course of treatment and who is the best doctor in New-Delhi for this kind of a disease. Any suggestion? I would be very grateful for it. Also I don't want to undergo any liver biopsy, so is there an alternative to it too?

My ultrasound was perfectly fine. Now I've takn Medrol tablet to be taken 12 hours & 2 hours prior to the contrast CT, damn! Don't doctors know its harmful for the patient? So silly, I kept asking Bout the side-effects of the ionic CT, they refused to tell me.
Will one time congrats too damage my kidneys?

no definitely not CT scan with contrast, that is needed only if US finds a focal lesion which can be a tumor but if US is ok not need of CTscan.the contrat liquid damages kidneys, DO NOT do it if US is ok
Stef I read few replies from you about CT scan. Do you think it's unnessary? I am planning to get mine done its a CECT for the upper abdomen.

Brij my heart palpitates while read your very very encouraging message. You know I am perpetually teary eyed & dwell into self pity like "why me" blah....and I am a very happy go lucky person, who is always surrounded by friends, happening parties, wine etc....now I feel all this will end. I even gulped a bottle of non-alcoholic champagne yesterday just to feel better, but it seems I've got traumatized badly, perhaps time will heal & this too shall pass.
Can one exercise in the gym etc even if they are on medication etc?
I just ordered Calcirol 60,000 IU as the 98.4 chemist guy told me that 10,000 or lower doses are not available. So do you think I should check my levels first or just start? I take bilifac probiotic and supradin multi-Vit plus calOZ everyday after dinner though.
I've to get a CT scan done, even that is scaring the day lights out of me. Dr. sarin would not honor CT scan done outside ILBS, so will have to get it done from there only. For which he's asked me take some medicine 12 hours and two hours before the scan, then they will put some liquid through intravenous and do a contrast CT. Does it have any side effects?
My husband also told me today that my attitude will define my course of treatment, but mine is so bad right now.
Thank you so much Brij. I do not know you & Stef personally, but you people are God sent angles to me. Wish you and your families
It's of good health and happiness.

You get the test done for Vit d3 25OH and Serum Calcium also.
If your digestive system is in bad shape like what I had, you can also add Probiotics, like Becelac-pb between meals (1 capsule twice daily) + a simple B complex tablet 1 everyday with your breakfast.
Take Care.

Start vit d3 as soon as possible. You do not get 10,000 iu capsules in India. So, take Calcirol Sachet (60,000 iu) / week. It is available at all medical stores. But take it from a trusted shop as fake sachets are also present
I too took lamivir for 2 days in 2002. Again, at that time this forum helped me (probably Stef) and I stopped it immediately. So nothing to worry.
Your sumptoms "I fear one of these days that I might end up having a nervous breakdown or a cardiac arrest, I feel so scared" are exactly the same what I used to have 6 months back. I always used to feel as if something very bad is going to happen and I may not able to continue my job, lifeless. Even later on I developed nurorological sysmptoms like my head splitting in to two parts and found difficult to walk straight. Never felt any energy to do any thing. Felt like commiting sc
Believe me all these have nothing to do anythig with your Hepatitis. Your virus levels are similar to which I have and these are too low to have any perceptible symptoms.
With my vitd3 level improved, all my symtoms have slowly vanished. Now, I work for 12 hrs. everyday and still feel fresh. No more of those horrible feeling. Thanks to Stef for his timely intevention. Otherwise it looked an end to me.
All you need to worry now, is how to improve your d3 level. GO full swing. Take Carcirol (60,000iu/week) for first 6 -8 weeks and then you can reduce it to an interval of 10 days.
You will feel the difference in first 3 weeks but it may take 3-6 months to become normal.
I go to ILBS just for test reports and get ther veiws, but I alway follow Stef's advice only.
