I was doing fine, had lost a lot of weight, was loosing hair...
Husband never stopped taking his meds, he could handle the side
effects.
Then he went to his clinic for something else one day and they told
him he couldn't go there any longer. That day was actually a blessing
in disguise because we found a private dr that to him and me and I
have started back on newer meds with no side effects. Now i've gained
weight back (not the best idea for me, but...), my hair has stopped
coming out, and best of all my viral load is now undetectable. And we
have a great very understanding dr. The new meds are alot better and
there are more choices than years ago. sapphire
