Hi po! I just saw this blog and I read all the share story I'm happy kasi tlgang sinasagot nyo po mga tanong nila which is nkakatulong po sa mga tao confused at mraming tanong about HIV like me..

I'm not an HIV patient pero I know someone HIV+ and I'm here for him tulungan xa at suporthan xa sa dinaranas nya ngaun..

2010 nung na diagnosed xa na HIV+ and sa observation Ko po hndi po xa nagpacheck after nyang malaman un dhil sa hndi Nya matanggap...nging ok nmn xa dati although dumarating ung tym na mdalas xa magkacolds at sore throat take lang xa ng meds at hndi Nya p rin inisip na bumababa na ang immune system Nya...

This year ngstart na nga po bumagsak ang immune system Nya marami na xa sakit na nrrmdaman take LNG xa ng meds and ngpacheck ng cd4 which is 350 something so that tym continue p rin ang lifestyle Nya dhil cguro naisip Nya kinakaya pa ng mga meds ang mga symptoms Nya...

Oct 3 2013 nging worst n nga po ang kalagayan Nya at pinacheck ulit ang cd4 Nya at nsa 9 n nga LNG po :( ngpanic na xa at humingi n ng tulong smin..nkakaranas na po xa plgi ng high fever, sobrang sakit ng ulo, prang tinutusok ng karayom sa mga paa Nya at Ubo with phlegm po...ngpacheck po xa sa ritm X-ray at sputum test negative nmn po...hepa b reactive nmn po xa...

Oct 17 ngstart na po xa ng Arv meds Dahil nga po sa hinang hina na po xa at worried din po Kmi bka kc nsa late stage na xa ng HIV..during d tym na nagtatake xa ng meds andun pa rin ung mga nrrmdaman Nya sakit until now...

Nbasa Ko sa booklet na binigay sa ritm ung mga side effect ng meds...my question is kelangan Ko po bang ipatigil ang arv meds dhil sa mga nrramdamn Nya pagkahilo high fever, at ung tinutusok na karayom sa paa..at tingin Ko nga po anemic n po xa...at Kung ititigil nmn po hndi po b mgiging worst ang kalagayan Nya ulit although my Konti improvent nmn po skanya mula nung ngtake xa ng arv meds...

POZZIEPINOY’S RESPONSE

Hi worried_sister.

Thank you for your email. Thank you for the kind words about the blog.

With regards to your friend, he needs to go back to RITM-ARG and get another consultation. He needs to report all his symptoms to his doctor so that they can be addressed immediately. Also, you can coordinate with our Care Manager for Hubs, Gerald (CP# 0917-899-0473). He can have you assisted as he knows all the protocols in RITM-ARG. You can also meet him there.

I hope I was able to answer your concerns. Feel free to email me again if you have other questions.

Stay healthy,

Pozziepinoy
