Feeling Better, Woohoo!



Well today is the first day I have started feeling like I am getting better. Of course I am; I have a doctor's appointment Monday morning. Murphy's Law I guess. But I will gladly accept getting better in exchange for what I have felt the last two weeks. I opened the window in my bedroom to feel the breeze come through. My bedroom has been feeling a bit stale and stuffy. Kitty is definitely enjoying the window and breeze as well. Soon I will even have my voice back and I will be able to sing to the world again, though that is probably a torture the world can do without!

I got my lab results back the other day. My t-cells have went up to 822, up from 620. I am still undetectable. Seeing my lab results was reassuring because I was worried about having been off my meds for a week (again) and worried the bronchitis had depressed my immune system. I still worry this off and on manner in which I have been forced into these last couple of years will eventually lead to treatment failure for Stribild. I read an article that Stribild resistance (well, to one of the drugs in Stribild) has been showing up around the world. There is a 60% failure rate in Africa, and a 20% failure rate in Europe, though I have not see what the numbers are in the US. Right now I will be happy that Stribild is still working for me.

It has been a few weeks now that I have been off my antidepressant. I definitely feel more emotions and I feel them more intensely than before. That's not a good or bad thing, it's just a thing that is neutral I guess. I got bitterly upset towards this girl at work yesterday, and that stirred up some feelings for sure! But I am going to allow Karma to take care of her. Karma is a bigger bitch than me.

What Stigma Means To Me

Like an onion, there are many layers to HIV-related stigma.  Stigma can be internalized to oneself, or it can manifest outward.  Like an interstate, stigma can also move in both directions at the same time.  Consequences to stigma can impact a person, a relationship, or a community.  Like an elevator, stigma can move up and down the age scale.   The impact of stigma can have physical, emotional, and social effects to both HIV- and HIV+ men.  It seems to me there is a growing and widening divide between HIV+ and HIV- men.  Like an infection, it seems to be only getting worse.   I find myself being a part of the very stigma I detest, I have become an oxymoron and my behavior has become hypocritical of what I know to be right.   I would much rather become friends with someone with HIV than someone without it.  But...for me friendships with HIV- men too often become mentally exhausting; I get tired of the endless HIV-related...

Hello, Again!

So I am starting up my blog again. I feel like it is the best way to present myself to the world authentically. Social media has become a cesspool of influencers and people who chase clout and clicks and likes and popularity. I have no wish to be involved in any of that rat race, and I have found social media to be lacking in connection or authenticity. I write for myself, mostly. I use writing as a tool to explore myself, my thoughts, my feelings, my hopes, my dissapointments. Whether or not that is "viral-worthy" or not, well, I just don't care about that. So welcome, or welcome back. Either way, this is a work in progress, as am I. Have a great day! Here are my cats:

What Domestic Violence Did To Me

There was a time when I was happy, healthy, whole, and fun-loving. Before domestic abuse, I had hope. Even during the hardest times, even while living with HIV, I believed there would always be a brighter day ahead. Fifteen years of abuse left me a shell of who I once was, and I grieve that person every day. Undoing the damage and conditioning he inflicted has been incredibly difficult. I tried to numb the pain through drug use, but that only created another problem. I am now in intensive outpatient therapy for CPTSD and addiction, and it is helping. I highly encourage IOP to anyone who can access it.   For 15 years, I minimized what was happening. The abuse was a gradual process of grooming and control. Before I realized it, I was financially trapped with someone who monitored and controlled nearly every part of my life. He followed me to work, put up cameras in the house and outside the house. After my parents died, that trap felt inescapable.  Eventually, the ab...
