mediatype	Posted - 8 July 2004 10:57 I know some what how you feel. I have just met an amazing man who is negative but he is worried I am going to give him this. I wish I was neg, but I have to get on with my life, I can't change my life now. Keep strong and try and live your life to the full.

Freda189	Posted - 25 September 2004 7:36 JLori, there are special websites for sales. This isn't it.
JLori	Posted - 27 September 2004 16:3 Freda: If I can help with my product in any way, I shall. I have donated the product just to make others functional and feeling better. I will continue to do all I can for others.
Freda189	Posted - 28 September 2004 17:55 Then name the product. It's ingredients, peer reviewed human studies etc. Let us decide, as a whole, for ourselves.

jwphiv92	Posted - 23 April 2005 7:0 Hello, DDepression is just part of any major illness or trauma. This must be addressed so you can enjoy life again. I hated the morning because each day was a struggle. I told my doc and he recommended an antidepressant to resolve some of my fears. I took a small dose of lexapro. And it reacted quickly. Within two days I actually liked being in my body again. That’s a feeling I haven’t had for a long time. I suggested a good physician who understands depression for you needs. Life still can be good. Good luck. .
luckiest	Posted - 22 October 2005 22:15 Funny that JLori has never seen fit to answer Freda's post hmmnnn?? Chrissy, it has been a good lil while since the guy left and I was wondering just how you have been making out at all? I hope everything is alright with you after some time now. I know its tough and I have been around a bit so I have seen countless situations like you are in and I have it pretty tough myself right about now but never give up, the kid thank God is prob doing much better than you are and with treatments today the kid is in good shape to maybe catch some kind of answer to this before its all said and done, I am hoping though that you are recieving good info from friends and your Doc's. I WOULD NOT have that kid on Meds until it is time, the "time" has changed so many times during the years and now with the way things are I would NEVER EVER have a kid in Meds before the count was about 250, the meds are so strong that they will do more harm than good, if they started the kid too early than PLEASE stop the meds NOW, and wait and see............. You dont perish overnight but I am around long enough to see ALL the people that started treatment too early in my opinion ALL DIE, every single one of them while I held out and refused to start meds until last year and I am living with this since the early 80's so I DO KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT, so please take this into account, it is the biggest blunder all Dr's make thinking they are erring on the side of the patient but they are indeed wrong.
HILBON	Posted - 8 January 2006 19:29 DEPRESSION IS ONE OF THE MAJOR PROBLEM ASSOCIATING WIHT HIV, IT HAPPEN TO EVERYONE OF US. WE HAVE TO COPE WITH IT, LEXAPRO IS GOOD MED. FOR IT . BUT IF YOU CAN DEVELOPE NATURAL WAY TO COPE THE BETTER COS EVERY MED HAS ITS SIDE EFFECT. JUST DONT INVOLVE IN SOMETHING THAT MAKE YOU FEEL REGECTED. YOU ARE SICK,NO ONE LIKES IT.YOU CAN STILL MEET YOUR CHOICE IN HIV FOLD AND LIVE ON, NOTHING TO FEAR AND HIDE,,GOOD LUCK FOM EUROPE. CHRISSY
Freda189	Posted - 8 January 2007 9:50 With any illness, as well as HIV, never take anything without running it by your doctor first. Even though things are billed as "natural" or from plants etc, they can still cause toxic reactions in people. Never ever take anything without consulting an expert in that field
billboston	Posted - 21 January 2007 21:32 The isolation can be very depressing. The constant demand this disease places on us can be damaging in many was. I think coping physically it gets easier over time or simply we grow accustomer to the challenges and discomforts to every day phyisical limitations. the intellectual and emotional isolation can be very demoralizing. I have found that I increasingly withdrawn for many of the activities and interactions I once thrived upon. it is important to take time for one's self and recognize the thoughts and situations that drag us down. More meds can help but try to be self-observant. recognize those situations and conditions that impact your psyche before that get a grip on you.
devastated	Posted - 31 December 2008 21:37 am going through a very hard time right now and after reading all the post above i kind of feel much better, not because i know there ar people out there who are sick like me but to know that there are fighers out there..i just found out i was positive 6 months ago and i am soo depressed...i have no idea where i got it from because the first time i had sex was 6month before my diagnosis and its was 100% protected..my parents died from it so my doctors say its possible i got it from them but it cant be..life is soo unfair and i just dont seem to understand it...i feel soo alone..i dont have a boyfriend and i have always dreamed of getting married and having children....someone please talk to me :-(
lifechanging09	Posted - 20 October 2009 23:18 i don't know in order to post this, i had to have the word HIV in my paragraph. i absoltly hate saying that word, only because its eating at me. anyone with their significant other who is negative had any luck with having children who are also negative? i've read articles with great success.. so what they say. I want a family so bad.. thats my only depression of this three letter word.
