About Me
I had Cryptococcal Menengitis due to Aids in 2005 and almost died at UNC Hospital in Chapel Hill North Carolina, I fought and won but have neurological damage from the disease which kinda sucks...ok it bites hard. My viral load was 750,000 and cd4 was 102. I have a 6 year old and live in the country on 2 acres, its peaceful out here but far from the city. I get my meds from the VA which is cool, I used to work as an electrician but now am on Social Security Disabillity which has been a godsend. I worked 30 years but now I think that may be over but Im a fighter so ya never know Peace Dave More…
