Hi Jonathan, I'm impressed that you're still hitting the gym. You must be very fit which will help during treatment.
Do you know what units your VL is expressed in? I assume they are log units, which makes your initial VL 32 million. Your 4 week VL would then be 316 which is a huge drop. You may be in for the long haul but it's a great result. Cheers.
originally the nurse said "7.5 copies". i have an appointment this afternoon and i planned on asking exactly what that meant.
so yeah, u're spot on...the 7.5 is an exponent of 10 which is roughly 32M. i hit the first benchmark at 4 weeks, which is <1000. i am actually at 2.41. doctor said that i have a 70% chance, based solely on where my numbers are, of winning. if i could take those odds to vegas, i'd bet the farm man.....next benchmark is at 8 weeks.
i am blessed to be one of those that is handling the treatment exceptionally well. i thank God above all for that.
other notes of interest....sam's club makes these huge blueberry muffins that come in at 28g of fat!
i got my tattoo, looks great, and when i beat this thing, i will get one of a slain dragon on my left shoulderblade.
keep the faith all, i know i am blessed, i want nothing but the same for all of you out there!

Love to hear that fatigue is your only side effect! I take my first injection this afternoon. 48 weeks and counting! You give me hope.

nurse called and just told my vl is down from 7.5 to 2.4. still no major side effects except for being a little more tired than usual. still hitting the gym, trying to make mind body and spirit stronger.
