My little story was published on our local news paper.:-)
« on: November 24, 2015, 10:30:27 am »
I was meant to be interviewed, but before that happened I sent the journalist an e-mail.
After receiving my e-mail she felt there was no need for an interview and my e-mail was copied and pasted and made into an article.
Hope you like it. It was written from the heart.

THank you for your post - i enjoyed reading it! One part that hit me hard was this "I started taking meds immediately and within six months the virus became undetectable. My condition has stabilised and I’m getting better. I feel physically great but emotionally hollow."

This is me now - i am only a few months into this and i feel totally hollow.

I read the story and I would not have said "little" in the forum thread.
It's obvious you put a lot of yourself and details into that and it was indeed very brave.  Thank you for sharing, it was really nice to read something that was different.
