Wow, I can't imagine browsing at the mall "for a couple of hours" let alone after having 5 vials of blood drawn! I can barely prevent myself from passing out after losing that much blood.after i left the doctors office and gave 5 vials of blood, i went to a mall and browsed around for a couple of hours!
Quite interesting. Thanks.ladybugmandy said:on another note, i had emailed a virologist to ask a few questions. here are the answers:
Yes Sue they do NK Cell Counts in Ontario (although my GP told me it's not usual). My son has had it done to monitor results while on Immunovir.
lol@ mall test
did you guys read dr. goff speculating that the virus doesnt really appear to be replicating in blood cells? i wonder if its just replicating in brain and other organ tissue. clearly is must be replicating if AZT is helping me. i am very sure i am not imagining the improvements!
why isnt anyone reading this thread? isnt it big news that i am recovering on azt?!?
lol
Shannah that is interesting. Do you know what happened to his NK Cell count when he started taking Imunovir?
I like this list actually, because I think it's concise compared to other lists and I feel that if someone doesn't have all of the symptoms ladybug mentioned they don't have ME/CFS as I know it.
