I was born in a beautiful mountain town on the 5th of January in 1982. I had a happy and funny childhood – I used to take care of homeless puppies, and they always somehow became my pets! After I graduated...

.. copies showed my last PCR three days ago. Liver enzymes are constantly around 20-25 IU.  And yesterday I got another news: 
 
  
 
           I have started developing antibodies to HbeAg. 
 
  
 
My "e"antigen is still positive, but i hope in the next few months to vanish. Forever. 
 
  
 
Six months and 180 pills after my start with 502 millions a serious change came to me. I am a little bit scared and confused- ' Why the PCR is still positive" or " When the "e'' will disappear?", but to be honest .. I am happy. I am wide smiling and feeling fine and nothing can destroys my attitude. 
 
  
 
Well, there is one thing- I am waiting more than 5 weeks for the new protocol, which will give me the rights to own 6 bottles of my drug and still have no news from the Health Department. They examined my documents over 40 days and obviously cannot decide whether to grand them to me, although I am showing great results so far. I had to borrow again pills from friends. Unfortunately I don't have so many of them with hepatitis B, so they will finish really soon. 
 
This was a joke. :) 
 
  
 
And for the final, I would to express my gratitude to the Pill's manufacturer, who had promised to pay the PCR during entire 36 months treatment. Recently They decided to cut it, so from now on, all patients must cover it after the first year. 
 
Now this was an irony.

    BTW, are you on some special diet or taking some food supplements?

    28 September 2010 Hello Petar,

    Thanks for the congrats!

    In the passed few years I took too much medicines, so there were a time I was feeling full of toxic chemistry.That's why now I am trying to stay away even from food supplements and I am not using even Asp...in for headache.

    Well, my special diet has only one key- half of chocolate for good mood. Three times per week. Everybody should try it :)
