Has anyone here had a GOOD experience with Viread?
Used the search button here... found some posts but everything, sans for one post, seems to be negative. Curious to hear about any good experiences with this (especially with all the side effects people were complaining about over the years)
Been on TNF for 3 years now. Sides: of course. Continual feeling of tiredness, which come and go. Had issues with blood pressure which has normalised now.
Maintained UND DNA before and all through TNF treatment. Doctor suggests i stop TNF, during my routine checkup yesterday, but i suggested adding PEG INF to TNF, or STOPPING TNF and continuing with PEG INF for the next 1 yer to see how it goes. But of course will go have my HBSAG quantity test in a reliable lab before anything.

i never felt anything so i feel the same before and after taking viread.
They found my ALT/AST was elevated in a routine test.
since taking it, my ALT/AST is back to normal and viral load undetected.

how many years on tdf?if more than 3 add pegintf, of course you ll feel extremely bad as it activates immune system but at least you will clear hbv or get hbsag less than 1000iu/ml, so less hcc risk and slow clearance of hbsag even after pegintf is finished
thanks stef, i am the only one in this situation i guess, when i contacted the virus in 2003 after unprotected sex 3 days later i knew immediately that something was wrong, i started feeling itches all over my body, till date i still feel itches all the time sometimes when i have flares they worsen, my ALT has never gone higher than 11. according to your comment above, that means i have symptoms bc my virus is inactive. I am on tenofovir and feel pain around my liver area. I choose not to stop bc i know tenofovir is the best we have right now.am too scared of liver cancer
you must refer "ONLY" to blood tests.when virus is active immune system is more suppressed and there are no symptoms, if immune system gets activated there are!
when i had the flare with alt 1500 at 18yo i felt very well and in general i always felt good with high alt flares while i felt very very bad when alt normal and hbvdna very low.cytokines of immune system makes feel bad while the virus makes you feel good

3yrs of tenofovir, I have pain in my liver, all my symptoms are still there. i feel worst than i was before but the last time i check my ASt /ALT it was 10 , i tried stopping medication for 2months and felt better without it than with it. MY HBe is negative.any advise??common sense tells me saying on medication is better.
This is promising... looking for more feedback from others. Thank you! That's what I am hoping too.
BTW did you notice a difference in how you felt when taking this? Like did you actually FEEL better?
