Latest blood results

Went to the doctors yesterday for the results of the blood taken earlier this week. I was particularly interested to see WTF was going on with this lot of tests because of how tired I've been. It was too early for the viral load results to have come back, but the CD4 count was in.

At an amazing 720. I couldn't fuckin believe it. That's pretty good man. Doc said given the CD4 count then the viral load won't be anything to worry about when it comes. How the fuck could this be as the fatigue has been enormous? Perhaps, even though I'm sleeping a lot, I'm therefore getting the amount of sleep I need? 

Kidneys are the same, not the best but good enough. But the kidney specialist told me at the hospital that they'd not come all the way better again as there was too much damage done from the lack of oxygen.

He was a bit concerned with my liver results however. Said they're a bit inflamed and the indicators are getting slowly worse. "Oh shit" I thought, "I know what's coming next...." He asked me how much I was drinking these days. *sigh* So I tell him, only sort of a little less than I actually am, and he wants me to cut back on that. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...........  

Well, suppose I'll have to make some sort of effort. Think it's not so much the 4-5 I have generally nearly every day, but these occasions socialising when I tend to get rather carried away. I've notice the last 3 months or so that the hangovers after a night like that are much worse than they used to be. Really fuckin bad man. Last the whole day, screaming headaches, aching all over, takes a couple of days to come back to feeling normal. This is just from drinking beer too. Have had 3 nights like that in the last month I think. Yeah, so I'll try to be  more moderate on such occasions in the future.

Still am going on medication I've decided. Told the doc about all this inner drama in the lead up to the quarterly tests and how I start freaking about it. Anyway he's taken blood for a resistance test. He's gonna be away a lot of this month so I said I'd seem him in Dec. There's no hurry about it all with a CD4 count like that. 

Dunno What he's going to try for meds this time. I can't take Travada or Kaletra. The Kaletra they suspect may have been the cause of my heart nearly stopping when they found me half dead on the bed. Another wonderful side effect of an HIV drug.
