Clinical Trials?
« on: May 07, 2009, 08:08:11 pm »
Does anyone know of any good clinical trials for truncal accumulation (belly) in the NYC area? I did some web searching but thought it was a good idea to check here.

I am meeting with my doc next week and want to suggest some-either that or eliminate my protease inhibitors from my regime. Can't live with the body changes anymore....

Hoping removing the protease won't effect the virus suppression that I have too much...

1997 is when I found out, being deathly ill. I had to go to the hospital due to extreme headache and fever. I fell coma like,  two months later weighing 95 pounds and in extreme pain and awoke to knowledge of Pancreatis, Cryptococcal Meningitis, Thrush,Severe Diarea,  Wasting, PCP pneumonia. No eating, only through tpn. Very sick, I was lucky I had good insurance with the company I worked for. I was in the hospital for three months that time. 
(2010 Now doing OK cd4=210  VL= < 75)
I have become resistant to many nukes and non nukes, Now on Reyataz, , Combivir. Working well for me not too many side effects.  I have the wasting syndrome, Fatigue  . Hard to deal with but believe it or not I have been through worse. Three Pulmonary Embolism's in my life. 2012 520 t's <20 V load

I'm not sure if there are any ongoing clinical trials but two drugs that have been and are being studied in relation to lipodystrophy are  Rosiglitazone and Metformin.

I was wondering, what are the drugs that you have been on since you started treatment?

I think one has suppression, or doesn't, so "too much" wouldn't really be acceptable, would it?
I wonder how I would feel in your shoes. The body changes are really psychologically difficult it seems.  But would one put up with treatment failure? hmmm
