I heard her speak when she was first diagnosed many years ago and traveled the country ringing the bell and advocating for the victims of this disease. She also fought hard to educate folks on how to protect themselves from contracting it. She's featured on the site I've listed below as she gives us an update and a rather frank account on the chronic nature of this disease and how things stand. Whenever, I feel hopeless about this epidemic; reading her updates have been inspiring to me. As a clinician I've worked with those who have been a part of the collateral damage of AIDS or have loved ones who've succumbed to the disease. She is my shero and I want to share her account with your readers.<br /><br />http://blackdoctor.org/articles1.aspx?counter=38254Carolyn Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15668984508382392168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-20850382843603595242010-12-02T21:32:02.614-05:002010-12-02T21:32:02.614-05:00Sadly the meds needed to manage this disease are v...Sadly the meds needed to manage this disease are very expensive. <br />Hard to address the topic without going into a rant of what seems like a broken record. <br />We have $$ for wars, and corporate welfare, don't we???<br />It would be interesting to know how much it costs to buy those same meds in Mexico & Canada. <br />Nuff said...Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-33676796682525197372010-12-01T21:31:58.646-05:002010-12-01T21:31:58.646-05:00oh Mandt I will come read your post....sadly I thi...oh Mandt I will come read your post....sadly I think people don't know what to say about it....on Twitter and Facebook the talk on it was very light as well...so sorry friend...enigma4everhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589997090173140019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-69821922386531750922010-12-01T19:42:19.848-05:002010-12-01T19:42:19.848-05:00We did a post too, but amazingly, not a single com...We did a post too, but amazingly, not a single comment.
