Title: A Good Report Card
Post by: AlanBama on March 18, 2009, 03:15:42 pm

Seems that lately all I've done is whine and complain, so I thought I would post some GOOD NEWS, for a change!   I received a "good report card" after my last lab work on March 9th:

CD4   768  (possibly an all-time high for me!)

VL      249  (new ultra-sensitive test, hopefully a slight 'blip')

CD4%   30   (another new high!)

HDL      49

LDL      116

Triglicerides 143

I've been on this combo for two months now -  Viramune, Ziagen, Emtriva.   It must be working for me.

hugs,

Alan

It's a good thing too, for what they put me through today:

5 hours 20 minutes in the dentist's chair !   I thought I was going to die....

I'm getting a crown on a rear molar (which needed to be done like 4 or 5 years ago, they're just now getting around to it) .   The world of clinic dentistry.....I try not to complain too much, because the price is right......but my lord, what they put us through to get any work done.......it's always an ALL DAY affair, no matter what they do.

Hey Alan,

That is a fantastic report card!  ;D  Congratulations and may there be many more like it!

Sorry about the dental experience though.  Crowns can be a pain no matter by  who or where they are installed.

Hope you'll soon be all smiles.  ;)

HUGS,

Mark
