Let's talk CD4 count. [View all]

About a month ago I went into a Diabetic coma. I spent several days in the ICU & when they got my blood sugar astronomically high to just extremely high, I started to come out of the coma. This had never happened to me before so I did not know what the warning signs were.

Now to my CD4 count, when I was diagnosed back in 2005 I had a CD4 count of three. The Doctor told me I would not leave the hospital alive (I proved him wrong). It took me years to climb out of the 200's so I wasn't considered full blown AIDS. My CD4 count finally leveled off at about seven hundred. About 2 years ago, it climbed to 1450 which is great. Life was normal when it came to ny HIV.

Now my illness with the Diabetic coma sent my CD4 count to 141 (which puts me back in the full blown AIDS category which makes me susceptible to all illnesses again.

What are my chances this time? Time will tell.

I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve here.
