In response to message #4

Lactic Acidosis Symptoms:
Initial symptoms of high lactate levels include nausea, lack of appetite and malaise, as well as fatigue and difficulty in breathing. Muscle pain and numbness or tingling sensations have also been reported. In lactic acidosis, the liver may become swollen and tender, and liver enzymes may be elevated. Symptoms of acute lactic acidosis include difficulty in breathing and hyperventilation. Diagnosis is usually confirmed with a liver ultrasound.Fourteen cases of rapidly ascending neuromuscular weakness mimicking Guillain-Barré ³yndrome have been associated with the use of NRTIs. Five of these cases were fatal. In most of these cases, non-specific symptoms and signs associated with lactic acidosis preceded the development of neuromuscular problems. The long-term consequences of large elevations in lactate levels for those with pre-existing liver damage is unknown.
