'sup fagz.
Raltegravir/Darunavir/Ritonavir/Truvada.
Getting Truvada was a bit of an issue. The Frau seems to have some sort of hard on for Abacavir. Almost every combo I've taken has had that crap in it so I flashed it the big nought. No more heart attack pills for Matty. The ciggies take care of that for me, I don't need any help from Big motherfuckin' Pharma.
Interesting news! Apparently there's some sort of Ritonavir shortage in NSW. Pharmacist Philomena had to get stuff trucked in from fucking Melbourne of all places. Gel caps too, not the nifty new tablets all you flash Yanks are sucking down like M&Ms.
Philomena is a trooper though. First pharmacist I've encountered who's worth a pinch of shit. Good to have quality people in the service classes. Up until now I've always been suspicious of pharmacists. What's so hard about sticking fucking labels on fucking boxes?
Arseholes.
Ah well. Now I've gotta find my fucking dosette box. This new combo is a twice a day dealio.

Oh, dearest Matty, you know I'm thinking about you, and wishing you only the best with these new meds. You're a tough one, so I'm sure you'll do fine. Glad Philomena was able to get the Ritonavir. Whenever I go to my pharmacy, the pharmacist is usually on the phone, with what seems to be someone in a panic, as he appears to be calming the person down. But yeah, I do see the pharmacy techs running around, gathering the pills off the shelves. The only ones I see the pharmacist fetch are the locked up narcotics.
Anyway, I'm not going to say good luck, but good health. :-*
Luv you (but you know I do),

I hope the new combo proves effective for you Matty. I know your perturbed right now, so be sure not to chew them when you take the first dose.

I was thinking of shoving them up my arse. No chewing there these days.

Your new combo is one of the most potent salvage therapies out there. I know a few of the members who are taking this combo , including myself.
You must be resistant to all classes. Mild ,if any sides.

Not resistant to all classes. Resistant to all nukes and a PI. Can't remember which one. Good to go for everything else.
But yes, my combo is the shiznitz. :)

Bettala,
What is it with pharmacists? I'm yet to see one (compounding pharmacists excepted) actually do anything approaching actual . They read scripts, match 'em to boxes on a shelf and then whack some sticky labels on the motherfucker.
I honestly don't see why this requires a 5 year university degree nor the 5 star arsehat attitude that most of them seem to affect.
Seems to me an enrolled nurse could be retained to do the same work for a fraction of the cost.
And thank you for your love. One day we shall rule the fucking universe together. :-*

It's so they can tell you correctly which aisle the Nasonex is on.

In Australia HIV meds are dispensed from state owned hospital pharmacies, not private pharmacies. Because we're like evil socialists.
That said, most pharmacists seem to be brain dead automatons. They don't compound the medications they dispense and they can't refuse to dispense them but they're still able to dispense the odious "don't mix this with 75 proof Bacardi because you might have fun" lecture.
I have AIDS. Like I need to be lectured about fun.
Private pharmacists are complete parasites and facist cunts. How is it that someone who professes to be a scientifically trained expert can sell homeopathic remedies without being taken to task by the Fair Trading Folk?
I dunno. It's probably all down to that devil Obama.

Good luck with the new combo, Matilda. It should have you waltzing in no time.
One of the pharmacists at my local pharmacy looks like he's all of twelve years old. I don't think he even shaves yet. He started giving me a lecture about my codeine script (this stuff's addictive don't use alcohol yadda yadda yadda) and I told him not to worry as I'd been taking it - and at the same dosage - since he was still in grade school. That shut him up. :D

Good luck with the new combo matty.
Also, I was sure this thread's title was talking about me, but I'm not bulgarian.

That's exactly what I'm on. And I reverted back to the Norvir gel caps months ago after not liking the new version.

We're on the same shit? But you're older and balder than Christ himself.

Well on the upside, I note you're still alive which is a not inconsiderable achievement.

Right. And while they are telling that person where the NAsonex is they are screwing up my lable....on my last Doxy prescription (for me kitty bite), the lable said "take 3 pills a day for 10 days." But since I read the prescrip before hand and talked to the doc I knew it was supposed to be "take 2 pills a day for 10 days".
The prescrip said to dispense 20 pills for 10 days.....how does that equal 3 pills a day???? Geez didnt we learn that sort of math in 4th grade??

All the best with the new combo and don't let the pill pushers get you down. Given your size and disposition, I'm surprised you didn't bite one of their heads off and spit down their neck.

We have one here in Adelaide, in the Central Markets that has permission to dispense S4 (hiv related) drugs
(best of luck with your new combination!! )
works pretty well

Cheers baby! Must be a New South Welsh thing, then. Here they're called S-100s.
No side effects. I sat through a campaign committee meeting yesterday with no nausea or attacks of the screaming shits. Plenty of boredom, though.
No detectable rash or anything like that. For now. :)

Only you and I babe. ;)

It's the exact same regimen I'm currently on and honestly it's probably one of the best I've ever had.
Both Prezista and Isentress (especially) are very tolerable. Now if only it wasn't for that darn Norvir booster. (But that'll be going away soon when this new booster whatchamacallit comes out sometime next year!)
Glad to hear you're tolerating it well so far.

Thank you darling.
I've never had huge issues with Norvir and this is the first time I've taken more than 100mg but I do take a daily dose of psyllium husk which probably controls any poop problems.
AZT was the nastiest thing I ever took. Hateful stuff. :(
MtD
-
OMG you're on Prezista? I love that drug. I've had zero side effects since I started a few years back. I'll think of you even more now that I know we're blood-sisters. I don't want to hear of any missed doses-don't make me catch the next barge to Boolaboolabongbong.

I took AZT for 13 years, didn't have too many problems, saved anemia, regular bouts of nausea and, of course peripheral neuropathy.
But, who's counting
Glad the new cocktail is being kind, comrade.

Best of luck with the new meds, Matty.

Well I've discovered something else about this combo. You can wash it down with enormous quantities of beer and live to tell.
I have a hangover the size of Queensland but it's no worse than what I bring home everytime I go to the pub.
I think I should lay down. I feel like there's an Irishman living in my head.

Would probably be cooler if there was an Irishman giving you head instead of living in it.... I have found out the samething with Atripla -- sometimes when I have my Coronas (and they are lightweight beer) I get a hanover out of this world - other times nothing...

Hope the new meds go down well Matty . I too was sorely mislead by the thread title, though I don't think I'd actually have wanted to see a shaved Bulgarian crack whore!

Wrong. Several Aussie eunuchs blame their present condition on Mathilde's love-hole.
