Unfortunately once you get Hep B it is chronic. In the beginning, you do get very tired but it will pass. Take Vit B capsules to take away the yellow skin.

i ve been reading a lot about hep b and its says that in the beginning of the infection its considered acute hep b in the first 6 months and also i ve just got a blood test result about a week ago and it still says ive got acute hepatitis as my IGM is positive wich means early infection and also i think 90% to 95% of adults gets rid of the virus so i hope i can clear it im very positive that i will

I have been told that once you get Hep B, it is chronic ie, it won't go away. I am confused...

kyboi if u go on www.google.com and type hepatitis b or any key words that u might want to know about it you will find a lot of info there it all depends when u get hep b some people might not have any symptoms with out even knowing they had hep b some people will be hep b positive been a carrier with no symptoms and some people like my self will get acute hep b wich means early infection you usually get the symptoms form 3 to 4 months after u got the virus im getting better the jaundice is gone but i still feel tired but im sure it will pass have a look on google you will find a lot of info there give me a shout if u have any questions

Ok will do Dan, thanks.

Hi Dan

I have done abit of research on Hep B, on the Net. As I was diagnosed with Hep B at the beginning of March, I have to go for a blood test in Sep to see whether it is acute or chronic. The doctor gave some reason why only I should have the test after six months, but cannot remember what is was. I hope it goes away by the time the test comes around.

Hey Dani,

I was diagnosed with Acute Moderate Hep B on the 22nd of May. My AST level was at 2929 and my ALT was at 3539. I thought I had the flu before I was admitted into the hospital. No appetite, I slept all the time, and nausea. It was until I went to the doctor and he noticed my eyes and skin was yellow when he wanted to draw blood. Well low and behold I have it now. I just saw June 18th and my levels have gone down 10X since May 22nd. AST is now at 307 and ALT is now at 430. He said my body is fighting this off and fast and I should make a full recovery. I go back again this Wednesday for another draw. I can't wait to see the numbers drop more. When I was admitted into the hospital, I was told by all the doctors I saw that I had acute moderate Hep B. It was never chronic in the beginning. I was told by my doctor that theres only a 5% to 20% chance it could get worse and go chronic. Once I show no signs of any Hep B virus in my blood, I'm good to go. I do have an appointment to see the liver doctor I saw at the hospital in August. He wants to see that all is good also.

I just keep being positive that its all going to go away for good. Lots of support from family, friends, and of course my doctor. Stay positive, rest when you need to, and take care of yourself.

Hello,
Yes, you have a 95% chance of clearing the virus. You just need plenty of rest, eat healthy, don't drink alcohol at all. Doing all this you will help your body and immune system to be strong and fight. Hang in there and stay positive.
