Thermage/STI/glitazones

[Guest guest]

Hello,

1.)I was recently reading an article about a treatment called

Thermage ( http://www.thermage.com/thermage/ ). Looks interesting

the site says that " It is designed to cause immediate collagen

contraction followed by new collagen production which occurs over a

period of time. The Thermage procedure is the only non-invasive

method to tighten loose skin. " I see on the web site that it has

been FDA approved. Do you think there is any application of this

product to facial lipo?

2.)Also I am talking with my Doc about a STI. This will be the first

time since I was 22

(I am now 31) since going off of my meds, I have had a zero viral

load for about 2 years and my T cells are a little over a thousand.

The problem is that I am getting Lipo. in the face. I feel vain to

be worrying about this, when at least I am alive, lol. The reason

for looking at the STI is because of metabolic problems (lipo) and

the Triglycerides where @ about 2,000. I have been put on

Triglyceride lowering medications and have it to about 500 at this

point. MY HDL LDL is normal.

I have read many studies online that STI should not effect the

current medication you are on. I just wonder because when I tested

positive the CDC protocol was " hit it hard hit it fast. " I think I

was a guinea pig for my first Doc, I was put on mono-therapy of

Saquinavire By itself for 2 YEARS!!!

I am worried (maybe without reason) that because of early treatment

mistreatment, there is a possibility that of the instead of being

beneficial, the STI could be devastating. ( please remember when I

was tested and the " hit it hard hit it fast " protocol was the

gospel, my Doc told me I had two options, " don't take pills and die

or comply 100% with the protocol and live " . Over all I would say

that my compliance is over 98%, another scary thing for me is not

taking the stupid pills.)

3.)Fianlly has anyone on here looked at or experimented with

glitazones? I was thinking about talking with my Doc about this type

of treatment as well. Does anyone know if there is any published

information on treatment of Lipo using this protocol?

So if anyone has any experience with either of my questions I would

appreciate any info about thermage, experiences people have had with

STI and information on Glitazones.

Ron
