[OT] Another Medical Update - What Is AIDS Wasting

[William Ronald]

Ryan,

Hang in there. Hopefully, the drug cocktail will make a difference for you. Try to take everything one day at a time.

With a little luck, you may be working out three times a week soon.

Sorry to hear that things are still rough. Here's hoping for a turn for the better.

I am being perscribed Marinol. Basically pot n a pill. It will make me happy, icrease my appetite and possible a bit drowsy

 

[BiggusGeekus]

Ill be a little gay muscle booi yet =)

Rock on!

 

[Angelsboi]

Yeah. I told my mom i wanted a goatee, deep voice and muscles.

I just didnt want it like this =)

*phew*

Ryan, I'm sorry that things are still hard right now. I hope your health will get better again soon...

BTW, in times where working out isn't the best option, I try to at least take a walk several times a week. I don't know if it would help you much in your current state of health but it might be worth a try...

 

[William Ronald]

A good idea, Darkness.

A long walk with a friend or a pet can be relaxing as well as provide some exercise benefits. I often find that it helps clear my mind. Of course, I have to worry about my dog trying to bring home a rabbit as her new pet.

Ryan, perhaps your doctor can suggest some things you can do that will provide some ercise benefits. Have hope. I have seen people in my own family fight back illnesses when their doctors were pessimistic. While I do not know you well, you seem like a fighter to me. (Or do you prefer rangers? )

 

[Angelsboi]

I prefer a 1/2 Celestial Paladin.

I do get some minor excercise but it takes a LOT ut of me. Thats because of my Wasting, Low T Cells and Low White Blood Count.

But Monday I go in for meds so hopefully in a few weeks ill be back to the same ole peppy Angel!

 

[Goobermunch]

Angel,

I have to correct you here, I'm sorry. It's not "hopefully in a few weeks ill be back to the same ole peppy Angel!" It's "in a few weeks when the meds work, i'll be back to the same ole peppy Angel!"

And don't you forget it!

Good Health,

--G

Ryan, one word, 'pasta'. Seriously. Ups the energy level, adds weight, and increases serotonin production. Try exercising after a plate of spaghetti.

To get real serious here, don't be too surprised if you wake up one morning dead. Death is no respecter of persons, taking all both good and evil. And there's no way to foretell its coming.

Be the best Ryan you know how to be, and when you do 'pass on' be sure to ask God, "What the heck is with cats?"
