My T-cells have dropped from 300

[Roon]

to 199, to 120 in the last 6 months.:scared:

[latebloomer]

1. I'm sorry-- that is disturbing!

Can you account for the change in any way?

[Roon]

2. I have had it for so long

I am running out of life preservers.

[latebloomer]

4. Have you looked into alternative medicine?

Gary Null and others have had a lot of success with various nutritional/vitamin/herbal protocols.

[Roon]

8. Been there, done that

Went on a hardcore health kick that lasted for 1.5 years. I just recently went off of it and went back to my old ways. I am still not smoking though.

[latebloomer]

11. Hmm!

Might there be a connection?

Just sayin...

[Starlight]

When I first got this virus in 1990, people were dropping dead all around me. I thought I was next!! I am glad to have made it this far....I still wouldn't mind making it to 60 something.

[GreenPartyVoter]

19. Hey, it could happen. You never know. *hugs*

[Lone_Star_Dem]

14. Just don't stop taking care of yourself

T-cells can go up and down. :hug:

[Roon]

16. No doubt

and I take my pills like clockwork...My phone and an email reminds me to take my meds every day.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

17. That's they way

Keep your spirits up, too. It helps, it really does.

[MarianJack]

18. With Your Permission, Roon,...

...may some of us put you on our buddy list so we can remind you too?

It could be nice to have some of your internet "family" be loving pains in the ass to support you.

I would be honored to be one of those people! :pals:

[Roon]

22. Oh, that would be great!

I would really appreciate that.

[MarianJack]

28. DONE!

I'm not here every day, but I'm going to be a pain in the ass when I am to make sure you're taking care of yourself.

I have an Irish mother and had a Jewish step-mother. I know ALOT about being a (loving) pain in the ass! I learned from 2 experts! :pals: :hug:

[BreweryYardRat]

34. Aww...

I'm afraid we don't know each other, but...:hug:

[Roon]

40. Thanks to all that responded

I had a few to drink last night (i know, very bad for me) and I outted myself with this virus. I woke up this morning feeling kind of embarrassed about the whole thing, but I am living with it. I really enjoyed reading the responses!

[Dark]

41. Have you heard about Kaltera?

They say that it is an amazing anti-retroviral drug. Has your doctor put you on it? You might want to ask.

[khashka]

42. I'm so sorry Roon

Take care of yourself - do whatever it takes to stay healthy.

I've lost too many friends and loved ones to this bitch of a disease.

I can't offer advice - I'm not a doctor. Just take care of yourself. OK?
