Recently I went to my doctor's appointment and saw that I was borderline Hypertension.   He also said that my T-Cells dropped as well.  This is NOT good.  But I'm still undetectable which is good.  All my vitals were goo except of course because of hypertension.  I'm only 33 and someone has told me I'm much too young to have this diagnosis.  Since I'm in school for my Master's Degree, Activism, Writings, and having a kid on top of that stress has been at its highest I've ever had in my life.  After my appointment my doctor has told me that my cholesterol is under control and everything seems to be doing well.  He has recommended I go back on Fish Oil and Vitamin D.
