Story so far

Hello Everyone,
Right now my stats are :
E antigen negarive
S antigen positive
qHBsAg 16.40 IU/ML
anti HBs <10.00 IU/ML
ALT 29
AST 24
GGT 21
ALP 37
Calcium 2.27 mmol/L
adjusted calcium 2.27 mmol/L

I am currently taking
TDF 1x245mg tablet/day (since September 2011)
Simvastatin 1x20mg tablet per day
Vitamin D3 1x5000IU tablet per day
Blueberry extract 3x60mg tablets per day
Selenium tablet (1) per day

I met with my consultant today and I am so depressed now and disappointed. He will not put me on peginf.because:
-my age
-I have severe fibrosis saying inf can cause liver damage and decompensation
-caucasion
-he has no clinical evidence that it will work with someone so low as 16IU. Says surface antigen needs to be around 500IU/ML for it to work
-it is dangerous to take
-my ALT and AST are too normal; would prefer them elevated
I feel very low now and cannot understand why he cant at least try it for a few months at least.

My question to my learned friends is what can I do now?  I would like to self medicate other oral drugs as a first line to seroconversion before inf. Stef, can you suggest a drug regime that I could look at taking? Inf looks to be a little way off for me right now. I am in N Ireland and I do not have any choice of where to go next.
Thank you.

Also my monocytes is still low at 0.33. Range is 0.4 to 1.0. This is one of the main items of interest to gcmaf. I believe this is a singular building block of our immune systems. It is my understanding that gcmaf expect this to rise to normal levels. I will continue gcmaf for sure and have fibroscan done after 24 weeks of gcmaf.

Thank you Stef and Mrt 79. Yes, my hbsag went from 12 to 16 to 3.1 and now 0.47 over a year period. It was 3.1 before I started gcmaf. I increased D3 to 10,000 IU in November last year and continue at this level. Currently 25oh sits at 83.3 ng/ml and d1 dihydroxy at 171 pmol/L. I did notice a very definite tingle sensation in my whole body when I started but much less so now. Other than this no other effects. I have to say the single biggest thing to make me feel much better was the initial introduction of 5000 IU vit D.

please also check if 24 weeks of gcmaf had any effect on fibroscan, it would be wonderful to find it at 5kpa or less
