Episode 1 Chapter 7

The Rainbow

I’ve come to the point that I almost died. I experienced the worst thing in my entire life. I was rushed to the hospital due to PCP. I had multiple OI’s and my body weight reduced by almost 26%. I said to myself that I won't be able to make it anymore and I'm ready to die soon. But because of the support given by my Dad, I was able to overcome these fears. I know that it's not yet my time and God still has plans for me.

After I was able to recover from Pneumonia, I immediately go back to my hub and requested to have my 2nd CD4 count. I asked my doctor to schedule it as soon as possible since I was a year delayed from my previous CD4 count. The doctor asked me why I didn't follow up after I had my first baseline count... I just told him that I'm busy at work. (excuses!lol)

Weak

Things really started to get worse as my body begins to weaken.

I remember last year (September 2013), when suddenly I lost almost 14 percent of my body weight. I really felt like I'm dying. I was admitted in the hospital due to dry cough, shortness of breath, slight fever and fatigue. At first, I thought it was just a normal cough, but later, I found out it was already a serious illness. I was diagnosed to have a PCP (Pneumocystis Carinii Pneumonia). When I found out that it was Pneumonia, I was really afraid that this might be the end of my life.

Regrets

It's been a while (or should I say, it's been almost 2 years now) since I haven't updated my blog. A lot of things have happened already (Honestly, I don't know how to continue my story)

After I had my first CD4 count (May 2012). I never went back to SLH and never made any follow-up with my doctor. (If you're a POZ, normally you should go back after 6 months to get the latest CD4 cell count). I felt well and believed that I am healthy. I thought I had no OI's (Opportunistic Infections) yet, and I know that my CD4 is still normal. Well, that's what I thought.
