Monitoring Your Immune System, Emphasis on Your!

You may be great about going in and getting your blood work done as recommended…but do you know what those results mean? What’s a CD4 count? Should it go up or down? Or what’s your Viral Load? Is a high number good or bad? And what’s this ratio that always comes up? If we are knowledgeable regarding this disease, we can actively participate in our own treatment.

Do you know the answers to these questions? More importantly do you know what the answers mean? How closely do you monitor your immune system and how do you do it, or do you? We’d like to hear your ideas on how to monitor your own immune system; perhaps your ideas can help someone else. Please tell us your thoughts.
