25 YEARS!!!
« on: May 31, 2012, 01:49:07 pm »
I just want to post and share my gratitude and thanks to the doctors and medical professionals that have worked with me over the years.  I celebrate 25 years and my 57th birthday in June.  When I was diagnosed (1987) I planned my death.  Louise Hay and her work changed my mind and I am still kicking.  To anyone reading this, if you are feeling down about the side effects of meds or just age-related ailments -- I say celebrate.  Thanks for listening.

       Hi   lilguru  ,

                        Glad you are  doing well  :)

           I have been having a rough time with all the  meds &  issues with HIV

           lately ,   Not  Happy about  the   maybe change from Reyataz  .

            Just don't feel  Happy anymore  :'(

           I think of having HIV  more than half my life , will be 58 in August .
           My Liver is not happy . Have to have more tests next week .
   
           Doctor told me to lay off Tazodone .... That lasted a few weeks . I took
         a third of a pill last night ! Was going NUTS  :o

          I have not been drinking any more than a 1/2 cup of wine twice a week !

           I wish you many more years  of great living , I do tend to ignor , or at least
          Put   AIDS  on the back burner , I do what Doc says and try to live a full life
             
                                               Just  Weasel  :-*
