What to do untill my transplant

This is my first time here, and I guess I want to know from someone how they deal with the hep b and dating.  I was in a long term relationship and they left me while I was in the hospital and learning about my illness.  I was put on a transplant list one yr.and four mo.ago  I feel good (now) and I take care of myself and active in a lot of things.  I've told people and lost friends and family.  I had a great life and I guess I still do just different and I'M GLAD TO BE ALIVE!  The doctor tells me to just worry about being healthy. But I feel very alone. This is the first time I,ve even met a group with hep b.  I'm glad to be here, if any one has a suggestion or question they want to ask feel free any help or new friend would be coool!!!!!!!!!

Do you mind sharing your hep b history?  Diagnosis, labs, symptoms, treatments, life style, etc.

Thanks in advance.

you must absolutely keep hbvdna und, if you are not und entecavir is the best choice or a combo of entecavir+tenofovir or tenofovir+ftc (i guess you are already on this regimen).
this is very important because you might reverse to compensated cirrhosis (if cirrhosis is the case) and if you still remain uncompensated it is important to be und when you have transplant so the chances to have hbv again after transplant are super low

nucs have lowered the need for a transplant very very much
