My Story

[Elep]

Presently I have a heart attack regularly and after doing my test they said I'm positive for Hypertises B due to this I leave my family because they said the disease is easier to spread even through my respiration so for their safe keep and protection I decided to live a lone since I have no money for the drugs my condition is getting worse day by day some times my stomach ache me seriously and now my heart is also paining me I feel like my days on earth is almost over now I apply for the military Job early this year I was not accepted because of my condition but when the result came our I don't believe so I went ahead to another hospital to do my test only to find out that it true I am Hypertises B positive

So I need this community to tell me am I going to die because now my only friends are online now

Most of us are not qualified to answer the question about dying but we help each other by encouragement, information and discussion. I have found this information for you: nhs.uk/conditions/hepatitis-b/

It may answer some of your questions.

This website is the British HEART Foundation and is predominantly about heart disease. The Hepatitis B Foundation website might be able to help you more than we can.

Good Luck!

Jimmy

[Elep in reply to jimmyq]

Ok thank you for your caring well I was told to start taking Liverine drugs, Hypertisis B preventive drugs and frequently drinking of Glucose but that Liverine and the Hypertisis B preventive drugs and some other drugs on Hypertisis B treatment are very expensive in my country Sierra Leone infact the Hypertisis B preventive drugs is only sold at the Chouritram Hospital Have it for sale in Sierra Leone so that all I know about my illness but I have not see any doctor yet because I don't have money to pay for that this are just advice from Health care people I really need help

Hello and welcome Elep!

To my understanding the lifespan of someone with Hepatitis is approximately five years less than average. With continuing advances in treatment, and with you appearing to be a young man, you may well live a normal lifespan. The 'motorcycle jumper' Evel Knievel contacted Hepatitis after a 'bad' blood transfusion following one of many accidents. He lived to 69 and died from unrelated lung disease. Positivity is essential!

More concerning is that you mention multiple heart attacks. What is the background here and are you receiving treatment for this?

[Elep in reply to MichaelJH]

No in my country the drugs is so expensive that I can't afford to buy it so presently I have no drugs for my illness Mr MichaelJH

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Elep]

I am sorry to hear that you cannot afford the drugs you need - these are for the Hepatitis I assume. However, of concern are your heart problems. If you expand on these people may be able to advise.

[Elep in reply to MichaelJH]

Yeah Ok thank you very much

You really need to see a doctor at the hospital to find out what exactly is wrong with you

[Elep in reply to Jinky07]

Yeah bro I know that and I will try an do that even though it not easy for me right now here to see a doctor you have to pay and book an appointment
