      #261848 - 03/14/12 05:51 PM

Hello to alll.

im 25. mixed race. was diagnosed march 7th,2011. started with a 57 cd4, and now im at 38cd4 with a 1900 vload. i havent started meds, only been on mepron/azithromiycn since oct off/on.. i w as going to start meds in dec. i cannot swallow pills well, so was prescribed all liquids which are:

intelence - 2pills in h2o everyday in
epivir- 30mil everyday
ziagen-30mil everyday

im not sure why i havent started my meds, but maybe its the thought of being on them for the rest of my life etc. and the possible sideeffects, i met with doc tday and he says he rlly wants me to start, but in my mind im so scared. ive been feeling healthy but just sleepy usually, plus i also have anal warts, which i dont know whats going to happen with that, and im sad about dating not that i care, but ugh w/e!

anyway, can i have you alls piece of mind, i just want to have a good clear thought process especially since theres alot of ppl who haven been somewhat in my shoes.

thanks!

brandon

Brandon, Brandon, Brandon, start to take your meds. Stop thinking about it and just start doing it. You'll see that all your concern were for nothing. I'd love to talk to you more about this but I got to go right now. I will pm you later if thats ok . But once again take your meds. I had the same consern 17 years ago . An I'm doing great, so be a big guy and TAKE YOUR MEDS !!!!!!!lol

you stand on your feet.....however, if you dont take your meds, and pursue your treatment in a serious manner... you wont stand at all, you will lay in the ground...

it boils down to your will to live.... you either have the will to live or you dont.... no one likes the idea of taking pills to sustain life. but those with the will to live put all that aside and do what we have to, in order to live.....there are worse case scenarios than pills, you could be injecting yourself silly for the rest of your life, its far more uncomfortable than swallowing pills. Your peace of mind will come with your presence of mind.... so dont be absent in that*

we can all tell stories of what we have overcome, the details dont really matter, the fact that we had the will to overcome them is what matters most.... good luck & god bless
