Living with this disease is a hard thing to live with. Some will turn their backs and that is a fear in itself. Not getting support, not knowing if people will accept you and your illness. Sometimes you feel strong and healthy sometimes you don�t, mentally and phsyically. It�s an everyday thing that I live with. When I first found out that I had the virus, I wanted to die. I couldn�t see myself getting smaller. There would be times that the medication would make you sick, when they don�t work. That�s when the fear comes, but faith over come fears. I thank God that I�m alive and strong to deal with my disease. I do believe that there would be a cure. I might not hear about it, but I will know about it.
P.S. People who live with this disease, be strong and thank God that you�re alive.
