I got Hep B result and it is ok. Everything is fine.
i am kind of in your shoes i am a 40 year old female with weird problems mostly gastric but i am now thinking it is the chronic hep b. I have developed gastritis, gastroperesis, esophogus failure and joint pain especially my knees. do you have any of this? do you have hepatits b? have you been sick? i never was and now i am really sick and the dr.s move so slow. the only blood test that has come back bad is my protein level was low do you know what that means. i used to love life and now i live in misery but still try to stay happy how about you? what symtoms do you have.
i was diagnosed with chronic hepatitis b and i want to know if all my gastric symtoms gastritis etc are related? also they said i have a 8mm tumor that is more in likely a hemangioma. should i take there word for it? it was diagnosed by a cat scan. i have been so sick with stomach problems it is unreal. it has taken them 7 years to tell me hep b could be a problem even though they knew all along i had it nobody took me seriously. i am so scared mostly becuase i have been so sick. now i am having joint pain and my knees hurt and are filling with fluid. any advice from you would be great and your experiences appreciated. thanks ginny
Thanks for your feed back. I can not remember if I have any medication even tylenol, aspirin in last five years.
It can also be elevated with certain medications as well. Tylenol, motrin, or other over the counter meds sometimes do it as well. there is a lot of information over the internet about drug induced elevated enzymes.. Google it..
Lab is showing HC negative. I can have it checked again. I am still waiting for HB result. I read that ALT fluctuates with fatty/greasy diet. I have unusual high fatty food a day earlier the blood samples was collected (though sample was collected after 8-10 hrs of fastening.
Are you 100% sure you are hep free?.....get a second blood test....odds are your ok tho.
