Can they

Can people who don't have hep b really understand what people with Hep B are going through?

[stef2011]

i dont understand the question, hbv is less than a flu for adults and all people is vaccinated, so nobody cares about it in my country

[veteranB]

Nobody understands. In fact employers if they find out won't hire if you tell them you had a work gap do to any kind of illness. They don't want to be stuck paying for ya in case of anything.

Nobody folks understands us, and nobody cares. If society did they should would not keep cures so long in so called clinical trials.

I want to know how make my family understand the problem. That question

[nodoubtz]

I ask question and use google for translate. What wrong?

[makeadifferencenow]

agreed

[mer971]

Why are you doing this Poll, better do something more helpful for us

[makeadifferencenow]

I would agree with Steff about those who don't know about their hbv status  so they don't worry they just assume they are healthy.

But alot of people who know they have hbv do obsess about it.So in that respect a healthy person wouldn't understand because once you lose your health all you care about is regaining it.

My opinion is unless someone lives with you and sees the changes in you and what you have to do in your life to adapt is hard for someone else to relate to it because "an ounce of practice is worth a tonne of theory" I think is the expression I'm looking for  thats why I voted a little bit :)

[stef2011]

many healthy people (assumed) has surely dyed decades before these cirrhotics who reached 100years old or more

[stef2011]

chronic hbv has no symptoms.point.that s all

to give you an idea: many centenarios have been found with hbv cirrhosis at autopsy...nobodies knew about it before autopsy

[nodoubtz]

Ok. But healthy person not Jaundice... How can healthy person understand that?

[stef2011]

this is not really helpful, hbv and compensated cirrhosis have no symptoms so there is little difference from healthy people, plus most hbv carriers dont even have liver damage
