Any symptoms or side effects need to be discussed with your doctor. It is important that you make sure your doctor knows all of the problems your are describing.<\/p>\n
Because you have only recently started treatment it will take some time for you to start feeling better.It is possible that the symptoms you are experiencing are being caused by HIV and not your treatment. You should start to feel better with treatment, and your CD4 should start to increase. Please could you tell me what your most recent CD4 count is?<\/p>\n
It is not unusual for symptoms of peripheral neuropathy to continue or even get worse for a while after stopping d4T. It’s not really known why this is but it might take a few weeks before this starts to get better.<\/p>\n
You have said that it is very difficult for you to get support where you live. If you can tell me which area of China you live in I will give you details of local organisations who may be able to help you.<\/p>\n
Can you tell me if you have ever received any other treatment for HIV before February? I ask because Kaletra is an unusual drug to take as a first treatment.<\/p>\n
Is your doctor aware of your symptoms? It is very important that you talk to your doctor about all of your symptoms so that they can help you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
I have to take one Imodium once daily to control my diarrhea caused by wasting at the moment, plus Kaletra, tenofovir and lamivudine. I am also taking vitamin B12.<\/p>\n
My ankle and leg are all hurting and my ankle sweats a lot at night. I often wake up with leg and ankle pain and discomfort.<\/p>\n
I have very disturbed and shallow sleep and struggle a lot with weakness, sleeplessness and foot \/leg problems.<\/p>\n
I started taking treatment from 10 February. I switched from Stavudine (d4T) to Tenovir after 1 month (now on tenofovir, Kaletra and lamivudine).<\/p>\n
I am from China and it is difficult to get support.<\/p>\n
Why has the ankle sweat and peripheral neuropathy (tingling) symptom worsen after I stopped d4T?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,55],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6508","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-topics","category-stopping-treatment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6508","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6508"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6508\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21482,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6508\/revisions\/21482"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6508"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6508"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6508"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
