hi all. i am about to abandon this thread. i am still on tenofovir and that's it.
so after improving on the ARV's after a year and a half and then declining again, my condition has now worsened even further. i was at the ER last night for 12 hrs with chest pain radiating into my left arm and palpitations, which had been going on for a month or two. i had nausea too, and shortness of breath.
my bloodwork was abnormal with slightly elevated WBC, calcium, D-Dimer, and some other things. my routine bloodwork was always been normal before...the doctor suggested pericarditis. I told him about the CFS and retrovirus (i always have to since i have to list the drugs i am on). he seemed open minded and understanding.
they did EKG, chest X-ray, and chest CT. finally, the doctor decided that my D-Dimer elevation was probably due to inflammation from the disease and not blood clot formation. he suggested advil for the pain and that i follow-up with my GP and a cardiologist, and that i get an ECHO.
i am running slight fevers and something feels different this time, as if something is spreading to my heart...?
i have to wonder if this has something to do with the IV vitamins i took....but i dont see how that can be...i took the myer's 3 times and the glutathione 4 times.
if i am able to make it through this episode, i will go to NYC to see dr. enlander and see if i can start GcMAF. the odds seem against me now but i hope i can keep fighting.
thank you all for reading

xoxo
