All Activity

I quit smoking a couple of years ago and got serious about the gym, mostly lifting and some cycling on the lakefront. After some routine bloodwork my doctor told me I have chronic hepatitis B, and I'm still sorting out what that means for my training. I've read online that the FDA approved a new treatment, bepirovirsen, for chronic hepatitis B, but I don't know anyone in my gym circle who deals with this, and I'm not sure how people decide whether a newer option is worth asking about versus sticking with what's already working. My main worry is fatigue and whether pushing hard on leg days could set me back, or if I should scale things down while I figure out treatment. I'm not looking for medical advice here, just curious how others in this section handle energy levels and stay consistent when something chronic is in the mix. If you've been through anything similar, how did you talk to your doctor about it and keep exercising without overdoing it?

NOPE.

I have no experience with this drug. Also do not know the amount of extra pounds you have to loose. But having quit for already 7 months your condition is improved and maybe you can walk longer and faster? Or add biking to it? And watch what you eat and the amount you eat. I would first try without medication.

Hi Julia, 8 months quit is great!! I think most quiters have sleep problems in the beginning. Either sleeping much more or being awake whole nights. I doubt if this is related to you quit. Personally I would do the sleep study first to learn more and also discuss this trial with your doctor. Eligibility criteria can be strict indeed.

I quit smoking about eight months ago and overall feel better, but my sleep has been rough. My partner says I snore badly and sometimes seem to stop breathing, so my doctor wants me to do a sleep study. I've been reading online about a late-stage trial for a new Eli Lilly pill called Foundayo that reportedly eased sleep apnea symptoms, which caught my attention since CPAP feels like a big adjustment. I'm not sure whether something like that would even be relevant for someone like me or if it's only for certain cases. I'd rather not get ahead of myself before the study is done. Has anyone here dealt with sleep apnea after quitting, and how did you handle treatment decisions? Did you wait for more info or just go with what your doctor recommended? Would appreciate hearing how others approached it. Update after reading more - Lilly's Foundayo pill eases sleep apnea in late-stage trials https://viewtime.net/news/lilly-foundayo-pill-sleep-apnea-trial-results kept coming up, but I'm still not sure a trial drug would apply to my case. I'll likely go ahead with the sleep study my doctor suggested and ask about this at the follow-up.
