Guest guest Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Hey Laurie, What do you know about AZT, the med that was used for Aids patients, and mito disorders. To compound my problems, in 1998 while on vacation in Texas I helped a lady with HIV and she got sick on my leg. I went to the Hospital and they put me on AZT as a possible exposure. It really threw me for a loop, the AZT did. My family Doctor ruled it out as an exposure, but I was on the medicine for a week...and as I get to thinking that my cramping and stuff got a lot worse after this incident. I have read something tonight that says that AZT can deplete mtDNA faster and cause mito. If you have any more info I would greatly appreciate it.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 I don't know much about a short exposure to AZT, but I know that long term use can cause mito like symptoms. I can't remember if it permanent or not. laurie > > Reply-To: > Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2004 19:56:02 -0800 (PST) > To: > Subject: Laurie Fitzgerald...I have a question > > Hey Laurie, > > What do you know about AZT, the med that was used for Aids patients, and mito > disorders.
