i remember you. Isn't what it once was here. Kinda tame, rarely visit anymore. I really miss the souls that can't visit anymore. What I wouldn't give to hear from Matty again.

Hey @Lis


I'm a long time lurker and just recently created an account on the forum. 


Why do you say, "just barely"?  Is the virus multi resistant?  Are you not taking meds for other reasons?

Lis has been living with HIV since 1986; the treatments during that time were dreadful and toxic, but kept her around none the less.  Many of the members who lived during that era have come to pass, thus making being a long term survivor less enjoyable in some regards. 

Btw, glad you joined the forums.  Wish you would have joined us when this place was popping.  It really was a great support forum.

Hi Lis :-*  I remember you, so glad to hear yo are still with us. I don't come in much any more, and like Skeebo I miss the old crew, some are still around, just not posting and some we have lost. :'(

I can only hope you have more good days than bad sweet lady.

Hugs
