I went to the ER after 9 months of just going to the bathroom. I called it peeing out of my ass and it was going everywhere! I couldnt hold it anymore. I did not have health insurance but needed help!
I went to the ER and was tested in front of the whole ER and it came back positive. I had to do a chest x-ray and a few other tests. They discussed my vial load in front of everyone in the ER waiting room and I was sad.
Long story short,
I have HIV/TB/Crytosporidum.
I am on a few drugs:
Truvada
Isentress
B6
Isoniazid
vitamin d (prescription)
multivitamin (prescription)
testosterone patch (once a day) (prescription)
ambien for when I need it.
Protein (prescription)
I would like to change to the once a day drug, Complera, what do you think?
My cd4 was 518 and my load was 800,000 as of 09/23/2013
as of last week my CD4 is 714 and my load is 45.
Do you think I should switch?
Are you on any other vitamins? or any other drugs I should ask for?
I got a number of shots, but I had to ask for most of them.
chicken pox vaccine
flu
shingles (I want this one because I teach kids and i have read its a good idea, what do you think?)
pneumonia
I am 28 years old, 162 pounds, 5'10.

also I am still having the bathroom problem, but mostly when I wake up, I need to run to the bathroom or it comes out a little, once it did in my sleep.

MS, I'm on Complera after being on Sustiva and Truvada and then Atripla for 7 years. I had the same problem and Complera was a gods send. I no longer get dizzy at night, no runny bathroom trips. Best of all I still stayed undetected without the side effects. You'll like it if you are able to take it.
