My Liver is Fat

Posted by: appleboyde on: November 1, 2009

So this week after having a CT scan of my liver I find out I have a fatty liver. This could be caused by my antivirals but we are not sure yet. I will be seeing my Dr. later this month to talk about how we are going to approach this. What [...]

Great News!

Posted by: appleboyde on: August 31, 2009

So I hardly ever talk my numbers on here. So I figure that I should share what HAART can do! My first Viral Load was 750K+ and my CD4 was 160. This was about 4 years ago. I just got back my recent lab work from the great Dr. Hines and [...]

The other thing that is bothering me

Posted by: appleboyde on: June 4, 2009

I figure while I am on things that are bothering me I am going to share and get out my feelings about my current health issue.  I was given a lovely extra gift with my HIV nearly 5 years ago.  About 6 months or so after finding out I had HIV I found out I [...]

My Mortgage Nightmare

Posted by: appleboyde on: March 22, 2009

So I have been thinking about AIG the last few days and how this angers me. I am not asking for the government to bail me out. I am doing what I have to do to take care of me. I am filing Chapter 13 and giving my condo back to the [...]

Just call me Narc!

Posted by: appleboyde on: October 22, 2008

So today I had the visit with my sleep doctor the first time since I had my sleep study.  We talked a bit and I was told that it appears I am narcoleptic.  I have been told that I should not drive till we get me on a medication to keep me awake.  So right [...]

Sleep Study update

So after 2 months of trying to find a copy of the sleep study I landed one when I visited my infectious diseases doctor. She gave me the copy and I then proceeded to attempt getting some answers. I called the doctor and I got a run around that I needed a CPAP [...]

Chantix me again

Posted by: appleboyde on: July 22, 2008

So I have been on Chantix again now for a week. I had talked to Dr. Hines about it when I saw her this past week. So far so good and I am already feeling less need for smoking. Right now it appears to be the habitual part instead of the craving [...]

OUCH!

Posted by: appleboyde on: June 28, 2008

So I went to a cook out at some friends and had a great time. So later we light a fire to make smores. The fire got low so we added more branches. So I needed to break on the branches to fit in the pit. When I did this the [...]

I am fine!

The endoscopy was fine and dandy. They found nothing wrong. I will just keep taking the prescription to keep the acid down. So that is relief that there is nothing wrong.

Sleep Study Update

Posted by: appleboyde on: June 4, 2008

So I decided to drop my doctor a note and ask about the sleep study and she e-mailed me back this late at night. I am going to post below the e-mails.
Dr,
I have not heard back on my sleep study and I am getting a little
concerned. Do you know if the results are [...]
