Update:
New Numbers
CD4: 92, VL: UD (48 copies or less since UD is different in different places)
I hate to lose ground on the CD4 but the VL being UD is kind of awesome.

Numbers from January 11th:
I've started developing a tingling in my toes coupled with numbness, this comes and goes, but has been happening off and on for about a month now. Unfortunately this is what I'm guessing this is some sort of peripheral neuropathy it just seems way too damn early for that seeing as I've only been on meds for a year and a half now.
Testosterone: 592
You bitch.
But congrats on everything else! Excellent progress :)

Alright so yesterday I got my numbers.
I'm proud to report I'm at a cd4 of 101 and viral load of 80 my former numbers 3 months ago were CD4 of 16 and VL of 4580. Thanks for all the support guys and I made my goal of getting those Cd4s over 100 so WOOHOO!
Love you all am house sitting for a friend this week so no idea ho mwuch I'll be online.

Trey, I've missed you around here. Where have you been? I'm a little worried about you not taking the Mepron, but you've heard all that and I'm sure you're sick of hearing it. I'm certainly in no position to tell people about taking meds.
Anyway, it was good hearing from you. Congrats on the improvement! That percentage increase must be reassuring with the continued UD viral load.
Disenchanted? Oh such a polite way of saying it. I had to give myself a timeout a while back also. One thing I was curious about, how did you keep your vl sow low while having such a low CD4 count and why did you wait to start meds? Just curious -
Were you drunk dialing me yesterday?

The best guess is I was infected anywhere from 5-10 years before I was diagnosed.
Chile, ten years ago? Were you doing the truck-stop circuit at the tender age of 17?
Congrats on your improvement.
Some people that went down to single digits upon diagnosis just take a long, long time to rebuild their immune system, and have periodic dips in their numbers. What did your doctor say?
Also, are you still not taking your PCP prophylactic?
CD4: 149
CD4%: 12
VL: <20
The drop in CD4% is troubling to me, down from 15% 3 months ago, but without a rebound in VL I don't know why this would happen?

Q I said I was investigating Dapsone!
Quiet you two, Will might hear you! I said I was investigating Dapsone!

I find it seriously worrying that you've not been taking something for PCP for as long as you have.
I wish my Toulouse St. research was receiving more attention. :'(

Regarding Toulouse St., I'm thinking Mr. Hellraiser is more likely to be found either upstairs at The Phoenix, or in the back room at Rawhide. What say you, Trey?
So you're willing to risk a week in a hospital because of "taste"? Honey, you got AIDS -- it's not a sommelier course.
I was optimistic that my CD4 would increase to the point that the prophylaxis would be unnecessary. I was amazingly disappointed. I'll get on something.
I do plan on going on dapsone
stomach the taste any more.ROFLMAO.
but I was a lot less outspoken to my doctor then so I just stoppedBrilliant! ::)
(and started again due to someone's well intentioned nagging).There's more where that came from.
Why does Etay keep popping into my mind as I read this thread? Hmm?
Why do I feel the need to repeat myself?

I thought the same thing, but didn't want to make the comparison. I know they are different, but feels just a tad similar. Trey, I hope you're not mad at us. You know we love ya!
I always thought Etay and Trey looked eerily similar as well.. maybe we should start calling him Etrey.
