I remembered being suicixxdal 15 years ago at the early days of my diagnosis . I thought the end had come:.....
In fact I went to a very popular river in town then thinking I could just go and drown myself but to die no easy and to make matters worse I was pregnant with my first child and the river was not inviting at all,I just carried myself go back house, chop eba first and to re- strategize .
Looking back now reminds me of the adage that says, whoever masquerade is chasing should persevere cos as you're getting tired so is the masquerade getting tired of chasing you ( translated from Yoruba,)
Yes, the virus is still there but I'm still standing strong several years later hoping for a cure and for a better tomorrow.
To keep the spirit of thinking far from me, I decided to keep myself busy, even if rain is falling and there's nobody at home, I must go to shop, If i make sales or not, at least I will sit with people to gist and I'm not the type that has any friend to visit...
Also this blog did wonders in my life to keep me busy and also helped me to keep me in business .
You’re a true warrior. Your strength in sharing this inspires many to keep pushing, even when the journey gets tough. Thanks for being a beacon of hope. Sending you love 💞
ReplyDeleteYou see that eba part, it's very necessary o, even when I'm heartbroken, I eat eba first.
Me I want to ask, can I take traditional medicine for another treatment while on ARVs?
ReplyDeleteBe careful with mixing drugs cos of drug interactions.speak with an expert first please. I was advised never to mix herbal medicine. And if you want to, don't use at the same time. You can use one in the morning then the other a night. God help
Deletemixing traditional medicine with modern HIV treatment can lead to serious health complications.
DeleteNot advisable at all. Stick with one

ReplyDeleteModern medications ,the Antiretroviral Therapy (ART): can reduce the viral load in the blood to undetectable levels.
ReplyDeleteU=U (Undetectable = Untransmittable)When a person's viral load is undetectable, they cannot transmit HIV to sexual partners.
Preventing Mother-to-Child transmission: With proper medical care and ART during pregnancy, the risk of a mother passing HIV to her baby is less than 1%.
You are really a fighter 🎉🎉
