Dear send4,
I am not a doctor and this does not constitute medical advice.
Don't believe everything you read. Stick to authoritative sources such as reputable medical universities and government agencies, such as the NIH and CDC. The web site at www.thebody.org also seems to have a lot of good information.
It is a matter of the lesser of two evils - either continue on your current medications which might or might not eventually cause additional medical problems (you do not say whether you are having any side effects) or you
can stop taking the medications and let the virus proliferate and do its damage.
Vitamins generally help people with vitamin deficiencies, which are relatively uncommon in "developed" countries. If you do not have a deficiency, taking vitamins is about as useful as continuing to pump gasoline into tank that is already full. There are plenty of people on the internet who are happy to take your money selling you vitamins that they claim will help people with HIV. You have to look at the evidence to see if they are being truthful, and there generally isn't much other than anecdotal evidence, which doesn't count.
You know that if you stop taking your medications it will likely have a negative effect on how well your body responds to them. Talk to your physician about your concerns.
Best wishes,
Bob D
Why would you quit those drugs when they are working? Doesn't make sense.
no i'm not stop those drugs yet. i would like to quit them. i don't know how to start and any side effect if i stop those drugs.
You stopped taking your meds? Talk with your ID doctor. Vitamins aren't going to help if you need to be taking HAART.
