No Zofran, they just told me to take gravol. So far I feel OK, just low energy and low appetite. So maybe the side effects won't be that bad for me. I'm pretty drained, I can't even focus to read the posts on this forum. I've been laying on the couch doing absolutely nothing for the past few hours. But it could be a lot worse - I'm glad to not be throwing up.

I didn't want to do the blood work clinic this morning. I had a bad feeling about it, but I didn't pay attention to it. I was doing blood work at a social housing complex for people with addictions and mental illness. I was on a home visit, so my space wasn't set up all that well for safety. I couldn't find the vein on the first poke because of all the track marks, so I pulled the needle out, and I was reaching for an alcohol swab to clean a different spot to try again, and I poked my finger. It was totally stupid of me to reach across in front of a dirty sharp. I wasn't thinking.

My team was really supportive though. I was seen in ER without waiting, and the medical director and one of the social workers from my program came to ER to check on me. ER called a pharmacist to review all my meds with the antiretrovirals to make sure there were no interactions, and the pharmacist told me the ARVs shouldn't have an effect on my mood. Work told me to go home, and take tomorrow off too. I feel like I could probably go to work tomorrow, but they aren't expecting me to, so I think I'll just stay home.
