Retreatment with IFN

[calebz]

Hello
I've just started refreshment with pegadsys. I've done a full IFN course finished 2013 Nov. With failed treatment. My sAg wouldn't move much down. Just as I reached the end of tx my DNA load went From 800000 to 10 iu/ml. Obviously it went back up after stopping .

I decided to give it another go as my fibroscan remains the at 6.8Kpa.
Bad luck is that my Alt is not that high at 45 so I'm probably looking at no SVR after it but maybe it will help again to keep my fibroscan.

Anybody with success with second therapy of IFN ?

I don't understand your post. what are the risks/precautions for man and woman and tenofovir. How about baraclude ?

There is no 100%. Hepatologist gave a NO but Gynegologyst was OK so I decided to stay away from it since i'm not desperate to take it yet. Anyways our pregnancy was not easy so adding up another med is also another factor.

not for the men, women can use tdf only the others are not safe

is there any problem with child on nucs ?

I was always at 4000 iu hbsag.
Problem with tnf is that my insurance gives ifn first then tnf. If I decide to go tnf I will not get ifn refounded. Also I want to try for second child and ifn is definite vs tnf

I can understand the desperation which hep b ppl feel to get rid of it as if some intruder has captivated our soul n life

All da best calebz. But u should have taken tdf till ur hbsag drop down and then started IFN. Wats the hbsag level. Ur 2nd course will be of great help for many of us.
