I mentioned briefly yesterday that I got my lab results back in & they were better than I had expected them to be. Last time, some of my numbers took a hit & now they had not only recovered but gained some ground.
A couple of things about labs with HIV. First, one low lab result doesn't really mean all that much. Second, anything can affect your numbers. If you get a low result, wait until the next lab draw before you start panicking. If you get a less than desirable result consider what's changed in your life. Consider any of the following:
- Currently ill
- Allergies
- Stress
- Exposure to chemicals
- Failure to take meds properly
- Dietary changes
- Any non-HIV meds or supplements
Any of these things & countless others can affect your lab results. So, don't freak out on one low score.
