Switching to Epzicom
« on: September 27, 2008, 03:29:43 am »
Doc thinks the truvada has been making me tired for the past 6 months! I hope he's right!

So when I get back from a performance in SF in a few weeks I shall take the goddamn new med.  Thank god i tested negative for that gene associated with that hypersensitivity reaction that can kill you blah blah.

"You really shouldn't be switching combos so much..." my doc said.

Um. Yeah. Whatever. I feel 60. Anyway I'm sick of bitching about this but I hope if i feel better my mental health will get better too and I can focus on graduation in a few months and learning how to write a cover letter!

Hi,

Well,... Good luck with the switch to Epzicom. I've been on it for about 5 years now, and I still get worn out, pretty easily. Fatigue can, and always will be an issue for me. I had to make a lot of adjustments in my life to help compensate for that. But, I am also close to 57 years of age, positive since 1985, Aids diagnosis in 2003,  and on meds since October of 2003.


Good luck, let us know how things go----Ray
