Living With HIV / Re: Bodybuilding & Biktarvy
« Último mensaje por Jim en Hoy a las 03:25:52 am »Thanks!
I'm not purposefully trying to skip the dr. They just don't care. I don't live in the states or any "first world country".
When I started treatment I was told I would die if i drank water with the meds. I had to wait for 2 hours before and 2 hours after to be able to drink or eat anything, otherwise the meds would "stop working".
I literally swallowed the pillow dry for like a year.
That's how much they know squat about what they're talking about.
I'd rather hear from long term survivors but I get what you and jim are saying.
I get it.
I've had doctors that thought shaking hands is how HIV is transmitted or that eating cornflakes will stop your meds from working, I chose to educate them but at the end of the day, doctors are like the rest of the population, some of them are morons, and that issue can't be fixed or addressed with education and it's not their fault. However, you need to keep working and engaging with healthcare providers as you have long-term health conditions.
As for getting advice here, what you would rather hear and what advice members will provide is sometimes different. Some long-term survivors are great and knowledgable and others are total morons or bat-shit crazy that survived by pure chance and nothing more.
Look, we don't have your full medical history, even if we did nobody here can provide you medical advice. What can be said is you are on TAF, not TDF, so stop looking into that. As for Biktarvy and creatine monohydrate, no interactions are listed: https://www.hiv-druginteractions.org/checker. However, despite this or past grievances, please first talk to your doctor and a qualified pharmacist about interactions with whatever meds you are taking and to hear if they have any concerns.
There are previous threads on bodybuilding, creatine & taking other supplements etc. You can find them with the search function here: https://forums.poz.com/index.php?action=search
Best of luck with the workouts and I hope it helps.
