I am so excited!!
« on: October 01, 2009, 03:11:00 pm »
I just had to tell someone..... I started Atripla Aug 15th, and although I had a lot of anxiety and had a VERY hard time with concentration, it has gotten much better and I just went to my ID Doc for the first time since starting my Meds. MY ID Doc walked into my room all excited and told me she had GREAT news. My CD4 count went from the low 400's to 639 and my VL went from 68000 to 100.  Woo Hoo!!!!!  I am really starting to feel better, the heads aches have gone away for the most part and I am actually able to concentrate and read again. YEAH!!!   ;D ;D ;D ;D
