Day 14

Pejam celik sudah 14 hari aku menelan HAART. Masa berlalu cukup pantas, meninggalkan segala kerisauan dan takut yang aku alami ketika mahu memulakan HAART. Kesibukan harian, kerja, urusan menjelang perkahwinan membuatkan aku terlupa lansung yang aku mempunyai komitmen ubat harian.

Well, I've been telling myself that swallowing the 2 blue and yellow tablets is nothing compare to the commitment of praying 5 times a days. It takes only 3 seconds, where I can duly perform my solah few times a day without any problem. And that thought really helps to overcome my fear for the lifelong medicine commitment.

Talking about the side effects (the other things that I fear the most), I do not have any dizziness, giddy or nauseousness. Except for some very minor lost-focus during driving, I am doing very well. My daily routine is as normal as before. But on the 9th day, some red spots started to appear on my face and spread over my neck, chest and continue down my body. It doesn't itches, but the my outer appearance changes. I turned into a red-flame lizards :p

After some consultation with the counselor in HSB, I went to the GP and take some disprospan shots and some anti-histamine pills. And alhamdulillah, the rashes slowly peel off today. I still have some red spots on my legs but eventually I believe it will go away soon.

So yeah, that's my stories so far. Will keep updating later. Hahah :)

Day-1 with HAART

Assalamualaikum w.b.t

Lama menyepi bukan bermakna aku hilang atau sudah dipanggil Ilahi, tapi menjauhkan diri kerana kesibukan kerja.

Malam tadi aku mula menelan 2 biji pil yang bakal aku telan setiap hari selagi masih bernyawa. Combination Tenvir and Stockrin. Setelah lebih 3 tahun bertahan, aku mengambil keputusan memulakan ubat untuk persediaan sebelum perkahwinan. Diikutkan, CD4 aku masih tinggi dan masih boleh bertahan, tapi atas nasihat doktor aku nekad memulakan nya.

Semoga Allah memberi kekuatan fizikal dan mental kepada kita semua!
