Guest guest Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 Well, I got my blood results from the 2 clinics, and the variation in cd4 cells was about 200..... I'm relatively healthy, except my platelet count is very low, due to the virus they said. I feel fine, but..... The chemist I get my naltrexone from just grinds down tablets into a 3mg capsule for me, but they are all odd and broken differently, which I don't think is the correct way for it to be taken. SO when I get a bit more money together I'll phone Dr Bihari and Apothecure. In the meantime, they have suggested prednisone to boost the platelets because I refuse to go on HAART (ABC) drugs. So I am taking vit E too as E defiency causes thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) too. I feel that doctors treat you nicely, but a little patronizing in that they act like you're not immune from dis-ease, and they are. Like superior humans or something. Whereas I feel that because my attention has turned inwards on what's going on inside my body, I've come to realize that time is ticking away for all of us, like cells are dying every second, and to get on with the main reason I'm alive - to love and nurture. And on a deeper level than I would have otherwise known without the virus. Something I feel people outside our circle are yet to discover, filling up their lives with deception and ignorance and delusion etc. Not for one minute would I give up how diagnosis has altered my mind and awareness. Sure there have been harrowing valleys, but I always rise up stronger in the mind when the depressive spell breaks and i know where to go to with my future, but most importantly, how to take the first steps towards a better understood tomorrow. SO when I go to see a doctor, especially in a viral setting, I forgive and improvise that we don't see eye to eye on the subject of my body. I sometimes wonder if doctors are the biggest group in society who are in denial that we die and leave our bodies for what comes next, taking liberties in mentally pushing patients closer to death with poisonous half cure drugs to diffuse their own fears. Of course, I'm not talking about Dr Bihari. Everyhting I have read of him has him humbly supporting patients to have a quality of life and believe in themselves and the body and brain. But the whole medical fraternity that revolves around money and medications is a bit like Mc's I feel. Value for money and nutrition to a certain degree, but a lot of excess too, the fat of toxins and stigmas. Noone telling you to feel good about yourself. This has come from an exclusive part of my psyche and I hope some relate to how I feel. http://mobile..au - Mobile - Check & compose your email via SMS on your Telstra or Vodafone mobile.
