When I was diagnosed with #HIV 25 years ago I doubted I would live to 50.
Today I turn 56.
The drugs that keep me alive also mean I canโt pass HIV on to sexual partners.
HIV changed. Tell everyone.
@dysclinic@Theholisticpsyc I feel I am able to answer this as was severely parentified from very young age- cptsd happens and hypersensitivity.
Hypersensitivity is not good with dysautonomia, eds and Mcas.
I am convinced some (not all) of my medical conditions are made much worse by this trauma.
@lori_bauckman@EM_RESUS There are a lot of us on this thread screaming this. I brought my research to gp and said I think I found my answer. ๐ฆ He and I are both grateful I did the leg work and we both know I know much more about it. We are a team in my care. ๐
Keep advocating for your daughter. ๐๐ฆ
Doctors be like: Donโt confuse your Google search with my 4 years of Medical School
Patients be like: Donโt confuse your 4 years of Medical School with my 20 years of living with the fucking disease

My disability love story is the opposite. When I was with my husband- I felt 100X worse than I do now on own. Still have same disabilities but my capacity to handle is so much better on my own:) ๐โค๏ธ
