so for those who have noticed, i have not blogged about my health in a minute. that deserves a "hhhmmmmm," right?
is it that everythings been all good?
or have i just not wanted to share bad news?
or maybe it's the fact that it's NOYB! lol. well i'm here to tell you that's it has been a little bit of all three.
some of you who have witnessed my man-titties of late would probably guess that yes, my working out kick has shown results. but then these folks probably haven't seen me since feburary before my two-week cold that didn't subside til my trip to Texas (Fight!). since then my man titties have gone down a couple cup sizes! yes, girl all that hard work. all those fart-inducing protein shakes... all of those hours spent with my fellow skinny boy revolutionary... gone! but the good news (stay with me guys, i'm going around the corner and back on this one) is that the extra pounds were meant as a health parachute - if you will - that if i ever got sick and lost weight i'd go down to a sexy lightweight and healthy size. so yah see it wasn't all vanity! this is why doc threw me that ensure script to - bulk this poz skinny ass up, honey.
but as we all know the hiv ain't no joke. breaking it down in terms that a-not-quite but-almost-a-certified-gym-rat would understand, my doc told me that having the hiv is like eating/makin energy for two ppl! it's like i'm pregant with 50,000 viral loads eating up all my well earned calories and not giving me any kinda cute baby face in 9 months to show for it. aargh!
hearing this put the next bit of news in perspective: my tcells are below 350 and viral load still in the upper 70K or 80k. yES, a big boo! ..so a little backstory, my numbers are the same ones that I got in Feburary but for the reasons discussed above i didn't post 'em. caught up now? ;)
ah so much, so much. in about 2-3 weeks i'm set to go meet with a nurse to go over medz and a week or two after that i'm hookin up with doc to get the 'scrip. looks like i'll score truvada plus kaletra or reyataz. i'll see what happens though. i'm going to get on these medz for good reasons: one of which is obviously how much the virus has control over my diet, and energy consumption, and my overall physical body and health vs. how much the medz could work against that. but there are other reasons that i need to think about before i make a concrete decision.
my plate is pretty full for this next month, but i definitely plan to make time for this reflection.
