NB. Any advice about HIV is given in addition to your own medical advice and not intended to replace it. You should never make clinical decisions based on what anyone says on the internet but rather check with your ID doctor first. Discussions from the internet are just that - Discussions. They may give you food for thought, but they should not direct you to do anything but fuel discussion.

My Dear Cliff!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND MANY, MANY MORE!

After seeing some of the photos you have posted in the past, I just know I will probably enjoy administering your 31 swats as much (or maybe more!) than you will.  :o

I will offer a toast in your honor today!

Thanks Alan and crew!  This is so nice.  Though I'm not happy with what I'm reading right now (Dan's situation and Herman's friend), but the well wishes are a nice gesture. 

I received a present from my body today.  My numbers have been a little worse than I have let on, (viral load has been over 100,000+ and tcells in the 200's).  Last week I had my third labs in as many weeks, to finalize the decision to go back on meds.  The doctor called today and miraculously my tcells have jumped to 450 and viral load is down to 11,000.  So no meds for me.

Thanks again,

Cliff

Her finely-touched spirit had still its fine issues, though they were not widely visible. Her full nature, like that river of which Cyrus broke the strength, spent itself in channels which had no great name on the earth. But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.
