Answer 1

Carrying Hepatitis B virus doesn’t mean anything unless it is destroying your liver. As you are the only one in your family who has this virus, and you obviously couldn’t have contracted it at your own, unless you had received a blood transfusion or some blood products, or would have received an unsterile injection from a used syringe. This virus either behaves aggressively, or lies dormant for some time or clears off on its own. So you should not be worried unduly. Keep getting your blood test done for Australia antigen (HBsAg) every six months, and one day you will be blessed with a negative result. Remember to use protection and not to donate blood.

Answer 2

Im sorry to hear that you are sick. Please go on the web to medical sites and find out info on hep B. You are not dirty and yes you could live your whole life. Most likely you will live to be an old person. You most likely will die with Hep B, not from hep B.

If you have to take medication to keep you well. So what? take it, it works and it keeps you well.


You need to read information,
Find out if you can pass it on sexually.
Find out if you can get treatment for it.
Find out if you have liver disease. ( a liver biospy will tell you this ) ask the doctor about it.

Just remember you are not dirty, you are sick. :) But, not sick enough that you are going to die in the near future. Don't be to afraid, by productive and get all the information you can on hep B. :)

One thing I know that is really really bad for your liver is Alcohol. Don't drink if you have liver disease that maybe caused by the Hepatitis B. :)

All the best to you.

Answer 3

I'm sorry to hear that you're sick. Stop thinking that you're dirty, because you're NOT. Nobody wants to be sick and it's not YOUR fault that you are. If I were you, I'd tell my friends about the disease. If they're really your friends, they'll support you and stick up for you. If they breaks up or run away from you because of your disease, then they're really not worth having and they don't deserve to be your friend.

And of course you CAN have a family in the future, there are lots of people out there that don't care about whether or not you have a disease. Me for example, if I really LOVE a guy, (and if he loves me too) and he has a disease. I won't care, I'll still love him and will support him no matter what. (but unfortunately, I haven't found that 'special' guy yet).

So cheer up, don't let the disease let you down and make you upset !!!!

Answer 4

I am sorry that you are sick. You can probably find some info. online. Maybe find someone to talk to. You sound depressed. I can understand why. I will pray for you. Good luck.

Answer 5

It can be cured, but you will have to do make some changes.


Hepatitis

Definition
Hepatitis is a disease characterized by inflammation of the liver, causing damage to or death of liver cells.

Types
There are two types of hepatitis, acute hepatitis, an attack that eventually heals, and chronic hepatitis, which causes ongoing liver problems.

Symptoms
In the early stages of hepatitis, symptoms usually include loss of appetite, fatigue, weight loss, fever, nausea, and vomiting. Rashes and pain in the joints can also occur. Within three to ten days, an additional symptom of dark urine may occur, followed by the skin turning yellow (jaundice). In addition, the liver usually becomes enlarged and is tender to the touch. Other symptoms can include mild flu-like symptoms to severe liver failure and brain coma.

Cause
The most common cause of hepatitis is a virus that can occur in five potential forms: A, B, C, D, or E. Other causes include excessive alcohol consumption, drug abuse (including pharmaceutical drugs, such as acetaminophen), overexposure to chemicals, and, sometimes, as a reaction to properly prescribed medications.

In recent years, hepatitis C has been on the increase. It is most frequently caused as a result of blood transfusions. Typically, people with hepatitis C are identified either because they have abnormal liver tests or because of a hepatitis C antibody test. A positive test does not necessarily mean serious liver disease, however. People with hepatitis C may have no liver disease, a mild form of chronic hepatitis, or a more serious form of hepatitis that may progress over a number of years to cirrhosis. The usual indications are a positive antibody test for the hepatitis C virus, abnormal liver tests for more than six to twelve months, and a liver biopsy that shows chronic active hepatitis. Approximately 20% of patients chronically infected with the hepatitis C virus will go on to develop cirrhosis.

Note: Infectious hepatitis can be easily spread two weeks before and one week after jaundice appears. The feces of people with hepatitis contain the virus. Therefore, very strict toilet hygiene and hand and cloth washing should be observed during this time.

Natural Cures

Aromatherapy: Rosemary can help stimulate liver function.

Diet: Follow a diet low in protein and high in fresh vegetables to minimize stress on the liver. Also eat small meals throughout the day, and avoid foods such as refined sugars, alcohol, and caffeine, which cause stress on the liver, and be sure to drink plenty of filtered water. Drinking fresh lemon juice water every morning and evening followed by vegetable juice is also recommended to help liver function. Easily digested grains, such as millet, buckwheat, and quinoa, are also good food choices.

Enemas: Three warm enemas administered daily can help boost liver function.

Herbs: The liver-cell regenerative properties of herbs such as milk thistle and licorice can be helpful. Take 1/2 teaspoon of this mixture three times a day. Tumeric combined with milk thistle has also been shown to help alleviate the symptoms of hepatitis B.

Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. We suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments. Please seek the advice of your alternative health care practitioner before undergoing these procedures to make sure they are appropriate for you.
*Purified water is essential for any hydrotherapy treatment. Remedies for Treating Chlorinated Bath Water offers clear instructions and recommendations. .

Juice Therapy: The following juice combinations can be helpful: beet, carrot, and wheat grass juice; or garlic, burdock, flax, and black currants.

Nutritional Supplementation: Supplement with vitamin C, beta carotene, liver glandulars, milk thistle extract, vitamin B complex, adrenal glandulars, lipotropic factors, pantothenic acid, free-form amino acids, betaine hydrochloric acid (HCL), multi-enzymes, and evening primrose oil.
