Jen,

 I would be jumping for joy!!! That is a big drop in a couple of weeks! Keep smiling and going on, I am sure your next test will be UND. Just to be getting up in the am and feeling great is a major achievement! Keep your positive thoughts and a very merry Christmas to you!

 

 I will jump with you ron.... I am super happy that it's working for us.

Hugs

Jen,

My VL went from 10,000,000 to UND in 5 weeks so dropping from 13,000,000 to 50 I would be jumping for joy!!! That is a big drop in a couple of weeks! Keep smiling and going on, I am sure your next test will be UND. Just to be getting up in the am and feeling great is a major achievement! Keep your positive thoughts and a very merry Christmas to you!

Jen

a drop from 13m to 50 is a great thing and a wonderful Christmas present.  Mine just dropped from 7m to 70 in 2 weeks. I am nervously awaiting for my 4 week read next week. What a miracle this could be for us and especially this time of year!

Whew,

Patrick

oh Tig. Thank you. 

the original lab just said log 1.7 and the patient portal added the 50 so I was pretty confused. 

I have to say that i feel great and I actually get up in the morning feeling rested. It's great.

thanks. I know I can always count on you to talk me off the ledge.. 

Hugs Jen

Hi Jen,

Try and not stress over this! I know you were hoping for an UND but you're almost there! I would bet the farm that you'll be undetectable on your next test. This test shows a quantitative result that is "Detected" and a viral load of 50 IU/ml. This is very, very low and like I said, the next time it'll be undetected. We've seen this many times on the early VL tests, so don't worry, it's just around the bend!

Tig

 

PS: The PCR Log is the same as the 50 IU/ml, just an old way of listing it.
