Email 468: Getting Paranoid Again

Hi po!

Just wanted to inquire baka you might help, I started my ARV on Jan. 3, 2014 only and prior to that I was taking Bactrim as prophylaxis due to Pneumonia w/c I got last October 2013 (been confined for a weak and got well). The doctor from RITM suggested that I can stop taking bactrim already and start taking ARVs instead. It's been very cold lately and don't know if I'm just paranoid but I can hear whizzing sound in my lungs, maybe because lately I got phlegm. Can I get Pneumonia again bec. I stopped taking Bactrim? Also, what bothers me most is the numbness & tingling side effects I can feel on my left arm & both feet. I read that these are normal side effects but to when should I expect this to stop? Should I consult an Internist or a Specialist? Btw, prior on having Pneumonia I also got PTB  
Jan - July 2013 treatment (also got well). That's where my paranoia comes from, I do not what to get sick. Hope you can advise, I do not know if I should wait until Jan. 30, 2014 w/c is my scheduled consultation &  submission of my CBC.

Thanks!
