NEw meds experience: two weeks in

[Guest guest]

Hi y’all….

My virus finally woke up and realized that it was resistant

to all my meds – and had been for years - and in March-April T Cells

dived, viral load climbed, night sweats, fatigue and sudden mandatory naps occurred.

Soooooo… I was put on the TMC-125 and MK-0518 through

a clinical trial, epivir, ritonovir, and Prezista(sp?). Former regime (last

one) was Kaletra, epivir, viread, and delavardine (if memory serves) (after other

regimes variously including lots others starting in ’89).

Results?

First two weeks report shows suppression to <75 copies.

First time in over 21 years have ever been ‘undetectable’. No side

effects t all in blood work or otherwise.

Whew. Dey DO seem to work.

T Cells will take more time, but I’d think them likely

to come up some from 251 too, and in any event, they aren’t still diving.

Ought to give me another decade to cause trouble for those who should suffer

trouble (unless $( & $( & #$__# cancer takes me out first). J
