I got my labs back today
T-cell count is up to 247 and viral load is still undetectable. Since the medicine is working so good I don't have to go back for 6 months!

13. Hi Peg!
The longer I can take the same meds, the better off I will be. That gives me more time until I have to switch meds and it gives me time for the new meds that may be coming around later.

17. I have been taking good care of myself the last few months
after being drunk for 3 years. I think that is why my labs are doing so good.

19. Isn't it amazing the strain booze puts on the system?
I drank heavily for twenty years, so that by the age of 37, I looked and felt 57. I quit for good eight years ago, and now, at 46 I look (so I'm told) and feel like I'm in my 30s. I used to get colds, flu, and bronchial infections all the time, but I haven't had a single on in the past seven years.

Booze certainly seems to depress the immune system, in addition to its well-known effects on the liver, heart, brain, and kidneys.

Well done on the great lab results!

21. Toward the end there
I was getting pneumonia every month and ended up in the hospital a few times. It was when I ended up in ICU that I decided to quit drinking for good. I feel much better than any amount of booze could do.

22. I hear you.
I'm so glad you gave up in time. It sounds like the next stop, if you'd kept drinking, would have been your own personal 6'x3'x6' piece of earth. Now, however, you're right back in life's crap shoot with the rest of us!

37. Cool
Kaiden is planning on hosting a gathering at her work downtown. This is going to be so much fun!! I can't wait to see everyone. I'll just wander around downtown for the convention and people watch and check out the protests. I am not protesting I hasten to add..

33. That's awesome news, buddy!
What combo are you on, if you don't mind me asking?

One of our newer workshops is on "Treatment Update" because there is so much going on in the pipeline, as well as approved meds.
