Hey Mort,

I always feel so useless on these types of threads because I have never done any of the meds people take these days.  :-[  That's what I get for taking an old regimen.

I just want to wish you the best of all luck.

HUGS,

Mark

I just wanted to wish you good luck. Try not to worry too much about the side effects. Everyone has different reactions anyways. I'm sure you will do fine!
Good luck, It's as big a deal as you make it. I just try to think of it as taking vitamins every day.

Hey Morton, it is Eldon.

I DO agree with Jeff on this one. Pick out yourself a multi-vitamin and take you meds as your Doctor has prescribed them to you. Drink plenty of fluids, change your diet, get some exercise, and most importantly get your proper rest.

the side effects depends on the person's body. Each person is different. You should be fine though. Please DO keep us posted.

Have the BEST Day!

My doc gave me a prescription for Truvada/Lexiva and Norvir. 

Good luck. I'm on Norvir and Lexiva so I can't say. Everyone's different but side effects might be a bitch for the first week (I went through 11 days of adjusting) ... try to get a spiral notebook to write down as much as possibel including times of ingesting, any side effects, etc
