Roedy’s health | Over the years I had some major health problems with AIDS. In
2004-05 had to stop all drugs because of severe side effects. My energy zoomed
then collapsed. In 2004-10 I started a new drug regimen with less side effects.
However, my energy is very low and I have to sleep most of the time. The problem
is drug side effects, but there are no other drugs I can tolerate. The problem
is gradually getting worse. I have a hard time staying awake more than a few
hours at a time. The nausea and other side effects are less than with the old
drugs so I am much more comfortable, but I am in perpetual exhaustion, with sore
muscles much like I used to have after an overly vigorous weight lifting workout.
On 2005-11-29 my HIV viral load was undetectable and
by CD4 ratio was 0.41. Anything above 0.2 is considered acceptable, so on that
front I am doing fine. On 2005-12-15, I was diagnosed
with diabetes. To me this was good news. It meant possibly something could be
done about the terrible exhaustion I feel. As of 2007-01-05,
the problem with exhaustion continues to get gradually worse. Something as
simple as taking a bath or putting some dishes in the dishwasher feels like a
cardiac workout. The frustration at having so little energy when there is so
much that needs doing in our world is almost unbearable. I have written an essay
2008-05-03
on what I do about my HIV.
On 2007-01-05 I got a trial set of new glasses. The magic of them is that now I can see in 3D. Up to this point I have seen the world in 2D, as though it were a photograph. I feel a bit like a kid wandering about staring at things and watching the magical 3D effect. The odd thing is they also create fake 3D when I see text on a contrasting colour. It looks as if the text is jumping out at me. I think this is caused because the lenses are so thick they bend red and blue light different amounts. In 2007-04 I my energy returned for a while. Previously I could barely stay awake 8 hours a day. I am not sure what did it. Possible suspects:
On 2007-09-09 I learned that my CD4 counts had steadily climbed from under 200 to 630 mg/l, a record high. (High is good.) I am doing some experiments to determine which, if any, of my medication are responsible for low energy, nausea and diarrhea. |
