Hey Michael!

Well that's great news. My CD4's were 15 (5%) this time last year. As of September just gone, I'd reached 204 (12%).

Best regards,

MtD :)

I can sympathize with you here.  When diagnosed I was at 179 and languished in the 200's for over a year.  However in the past 6 months have seen them skyrocket into the 500's.  Fortunately for me I have responded very well to my meds.  Hope you continue to see improvements,

Woods

Michael -

Congrats on the latest numbers.  I'm sure you are happy to be relieved of the Zithromax (I hated that stuff)..  :)
