Patient Advocate Foundation...

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Saukville, WI

Received snail mail the other day; April 1 specifically. It is thick envelope from some place called Patient Advocate Foundation and in bold print "Co-Pay Relief". They are from Hampton VA.

There are phone numbers to call and most likely I will. But this also could be an April fools scam. Has anyone else here heard of this outfit?

Thanks

Wise choice @A myHIVteam Member. I doubt you will have any trouble. Whatever damage occurred with my kidneys, occurred long before I started Biktarvy. Good Luck 🍀👍 ❤️

New Brunswick, NJ

Lately my stools are sometimes light brown or dark yellow. Not all the time but at least three times a week. I went to my doctor and he felt my stomach abdomen etc and said my liver seems to feel enlarged. He sent me for blood tests and stool samples. I’m waiting for the results.

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Ystalyfera, UK

I still suffer from "Peripheral Neuropathy" (pins and needles) at night-time, due to overactivity of my CNS (Central Nervous System), related to my HIV.

About 8 months ago, on advice from my HIV clinic, I began taking one Vitamin B12 tablet daily to hopefully repair my nerve pathways, to hopefully stop the "Peripheral Neuropathy", but the daily B12 hasn't remedied the problem. I still sleep badly and still suffer from the itching.

So my HIV doctor has now suggested I consider taking… read more

A myHIVteam Member
