tHe luCk.y seVen...

well... so far... so good.. with the meds.. started taking them yesterday.

i take seven each day.. wHich is my lucky number..so i tHink of them as...

"tHe luCk.y seVen"

1 truVada and 3 kaLetra in the late morn and 3 more kaLetra before bed. i take them with an eNsure drink and a boiled egg right now cause you are supposed to take them with food... not a meal but something "sNacky" to help em out..

i found out that im not to drink or eat grapefruit which counteracts kaLetra.. sHe don't like that gRapefruit! ..heh!

my doc told me to also aVoid st joHn's wort.. wHich i never took anyheW .. cause of the unpredictable outcomes that people reported about it.. my doc and i are gonna go over all the vitamins and suppliments that i take to make sHure there isn't anything working against the meds..

so .. my second dosing starts today and in a month i will get another blood test to see how the HIV and my immune system is reacting..

my doc.. other folks who have taken HIV meds I've talked to.. and the research i have done .. all tells me that i should see the viral load go down dramatically .. and the immune (t-cells) should go up .. that means with less of the HIV viral load.. i will get more energy ..

ive been so over-loaded with HIV the last year that my energy level and getting sick all the time wHas eX.hausting.. physically.. mentally.. spiritually...

tHIs resolution and regimen of meds should help me get the HIV to undetectable.. Which just means the test that measures the HIV won't detect it cause it's at a low level.. but i still will have a viral load and be positive..

i still must be careful and keep working on all the things i wHas working on before..

tHis spring.. like the seasons .. i should see some definite sprouts of cHanges.. by summer i plan on being in full bloom..

the timing is right..

noW..wHas the perfect time to start this resolution of HIV med regimen..

eVeryday now..

"The lucky seVen"

will help me down the path IM preparing for..
