Our subconscious roams when we enter into REM, have you lost your deep sleep, as well as your dreams?
I have not had dreams for quite some time. What's worse I now have started sleep walking and doing things in my sleep. One night I cleaned my stove ( which I had thought about shortly before going to… read more
I'm curious to know if others are aware of Planning Councils/Planning Bodies as part of the Ryan White Part A program in their area? And if so, do you engage, attend meetings, or participate in them?
I am, I was a member of NYC Planning Council a long time ago. I moved to Florida and became a member and Chair. I use to do trainings. I stopped about 2 years ago for health reasons. The best thing… read more
I know this section should be questions pertaining to HIV, sometimes we need to forget that we have HIV, we are reminded of that each time we take our medication. So I like to shake things up a little in the Q&A just so we can forget about HIV for a moment and have discussions on other topics. If you have questions relating to HIV, please do ask in the Q&A.
Not bad dreams at all
Have you ever read the pamphlet on your medications?
Some medications you can just take them without food.
Other medications you have to take them with food.
for the medications that you have to take with food do you know what kind of food you have to eat to make that drug work at its maximum?
Did you know that some HIV medications work better when you eat fatty foods?
It's important to read those pamphlets that come with the medications then you know how to actually take your medications.
I understand that meds have that time folded up paper glued to the bottle with stuff written on it. I just don't have a microscope to read any of it.
How do you get through that day? Mine is literally Halloween, I dread being alone that day.
Nothing
For those of you who have disclosed your status to your family, how did you do it and how did they take it?
For those of you who have not, why not?
When I told friends one disappeared and a few distanced themselves after attempting to console me, 2 stuck around and educated themselves. This made me feel like it's a burden at first. I did tell my… read more
Ok so this could be a continuum of the last question I posted about sun exposure. But I will just make a different post. Since this is on my mind now (because I JUST DID IT), I had another question about how to take your medication
A lot of the HIV pills you must take with food. What if you are in a position to where you can't eat but must take your pill? Do you take your pill without eating? Do you find a quick bite to eat somewhere or somehow
I had an early supper and ate heavy. Now that it… read more
I take it regardless if I have food with me or not but I try and make sure I do eat something within an hour of taking my med. Only 1 of the 4 meds I take for HIV suggests taking it with food. I have… read more
I have asked this question before but it has been awhile, so it is nice to get a refresh on things that may help the newer members
HIV care can be expensive. It takes money out of our pocket for other things we may need. So when it comes to your HIV care and finances, how do you cope with the burden of paying for everything
Do you take the help that is out there for rent/mortgage help?
DO you take the help that is out there for food?
Do you take the help that is out there for utilities?
Do… read more
There's ADAP to help with our HIV meds and other medications. If there's any kind of assistance to help with housing, utilities, and food accept it. I have been HIV + for 37yrs and I understand how… read more

Well, in Utah I had Medicaid and Medicare. Now in Oregon I have medicare and copay assistance from Ryan white. No Medicaid so I'm limited on healthcare because I have to pay co-pays for healthcare… read more
Good morning guys, what do you do when you miss taken your medication!? You just take it the next time!? Do you think that will affect the treatment. Sometimes when I’m super tired I forget to take it
If it a one time thing say every 6 months or so, do not double up on your meds. Take it a normal the next time. I always set my alarm in case I fall watching FORENSIC FILES, one can never get enough… read more
