My husband took the dog to the vet again today. Lots of things have been ruled out like lymes disease, but we still have no answers. Now the dog is shunning his food, he has to be encouraged to eat it. It's a good thing I couldn't get out of bed cause I stayed home, and my case mgr called. I 'd forgetten we had an appt. I am so out of it, wanting to be well and yet refusing to take th...

Went to the 2nd interview. They said they were looking for someone with more job stability, seeing that I haven't worked since 2004... but they were gonna call me either by today or Monday and make a decision. Oh well.
THEN I come home and my stomach is still bubbling from throwing up last night... I think it's my new meds... and Dad tells me that I should eat something. ...1 Recommendation5 Comments -

The personal attacks made on me are still in my hug book, but DS removed them from my journal, along with the many supportive comments sent by all of you. Thank-you for standing by me through this. This looks to me like it's fine and dandy for someone to write rude and angry things to me, it's just not okay for me to repeat what they've said to me in my own journal. And it's...1 Recommendation13 Comments

O.K. court is over and we are no further than before. First the stupid Dr. didd'nt even show up. The evaluation was incomplete, and they now want all his records from any other hospitals and dr's offices he's ever been to. The judge is concerned weather he is even able to stand trial. If she dicides that he isn't , he will have to go to a state hospital to be treated untill he is ...1 Recommendation4 Comments

I have really been enjoying my newest toy/exercise equipment (stripper pole) and have been dancing just about every day since I got it. This is a good thing. I have improved tremendously on the pole and my strength has also really improved as has my mood. I can also spin and such almost like a PRO now. Next goal is to be able to hang upside down and spin my way down. This will take a LOT of ...1 Recommendation9 Comments

Well the other week we argued like mad and she threw some real vile comments my way. Of Cause next day she was sorry and wished she'd never said those things, promising never to repeat them again. I forgave her once more but I always have that nagging suspicion she'll let loose again some day.
...but who am I? I'm the one with the virus and yet she says she loves me, I'm her rock, ...1 Recommendation11 Comments -
I am on night 6 of taking Atripla. I hate it. I have never felt so bad for so long in my young 26 years. I dread knowing that I will feel like crap when I wake up! I don't know what to do. I want to quit taking the medicine, but at the urging of my partner,Dr.,and dad I am going to keep going...for now. Geeze my Dr. said some side effects, not total shut down of my mental state of mind....1 Recommendation4 Comments

Living with HIV continues to amaze me and present its challenges. Today I was told by my employer that I could no longer work with the present restrictions, so now am looking to disability. I have only been POZ for 1 year. The past year has had their own challenges, but I am feeling fine except some bouts with emotions. I am even undetectable at this time. Don't know what th...1 Recommendation6 Comments
