New DRUGS--Gosh!!
« on: November 14, 2014, 05:24:15 am »
Darlinks--

Those off you skilled at reading between the lines will have sensed a note off pissedorftheness at my Fantastic HIV Doc . Banish any such thoughts.

Plus the Neurology Doc has been found and I have had a consultation with him and the HIV Doc at the same time.

Which has resulted in a diagnosis off Autonomic Neaurophapy which accounts for Michael,s perilous recent years. And this has resulted in a drug which will reduce my expanded arteries thereby reducing the torrents off blood inaccurately gushing into Heart, Kidneys , Brain leading to Black outs Pee marathons Exhaustion attacks and much more besides.

MIDODRINE is the name off the new drug and I think its Jolly expensive , though could be wrong .

It does not end there I have a new combo !! I am too be a ONCE a day Laddy.
ETRAVIRINE / RITONAVIR / DARUNAVIR
2 prots and a nnari thing .

By computer projection all off the HIV drugs should be tolerated.
And I am convinced the Midodrine will be fine.
So finally Auto Neu is confirmed , no longer just a potential therefore the drug can be prescribed plus a New combo replacing the previous one that was a desperate sweeping up off what I was not resistant to .

I am quite chuffed now dear hearts wish Michael luck as he starts out on so much newness.

This is good news, great news . I hope it fixes you up completely or you become a Weeble, weeble's wobble,but they don't fall down .

I have been worried about you and always know when you disappear on us that you most likely are laid up with unpleasantness, hope it puts an end to your trips in the house so you can get better and make a trip to the south .

Hey Michael, glad you finally got a proper diagnosis with they type of neuropathy that you are having.

Personally I have only semi-confidence in neuropathy diagnosis but that's probably just because I think mine isn't particularly treatable. But I hope yours is or can at least be improved considerably.

Best of luck sweetie!

Hey Michael,

From what I read, that is a lot of good news! I love good news.

I am very happy to hear about your gums as well. That can be a trying experience.

BIG HUGS,

Thank you one and all.have no internet connection at home at the moment plus am only now getting over being fully laid up with chest problems.
So after four weeks going from bed to sofa I am weak.
I am however having less blood pressure issues since the new drug , no details back about new combo or the next stage in dental treatment. At the moment I cannot be bothered to hassle away at all off this .
Pleased to be free off chest infection though and I am sure that energy needed will come back.
All the best my lovely ones
Michael

At least it is comforting to know that computer related parts last much shorter than our own. Looking forward to your next connection and happy for the update.  :-*

Michael, I wondered what was going on, damn!  I'm glad you're getting better. Please take care of yourself and post when you can!

Back on line. To my amazement router arrived on time and I managed to set it all up , no damage to my computer as I feared and its as fast as can be at 7 10 pm .

Am a lot better but do have a case off winter blues. Cannot get going until the evening and walking the dog seems impossible , very little motivation and or energy.Plus the Christmas thing , will be spending it with friends due to low level family difficulties , which is sad.

When I am in company I enjoy it , however when I return home I am exhausted and want to burrow down way down.
Nothing new , but there is little Fun around. Feel worn out.
