New Labs#s more of the same
« on: September 27, 2011, 03:49:25 pm »
Hello All-  Well as you can see by my sig I just received my recent #s and I did not have any big changes. I have had all my blood drawn at nearly the same time (9am) and in a fasting state. All my other labs are within range and my energy is great so I am thankful for that. I would just like some bigger CD4 #s. I guess being older is playing a part in the slow rebuilding of my immune system.
Peace
Billy

Hey Billy,

Try not to sweat the numbers. Sometimes people just don't bounce back very quickly.

It could be you had a lower CD4 to begin with, or, as I have often seen, some people plateau and take a while to climb up to higher levels.

In the meantime, I hope the fact your numbers are stable, your percentage is pretty good, and you shouldn't be too much ar risk for OIs at this point gives you some solace.

Hang in there.

HUGS,

Mark
