Hope Alumni

Went today to the first Hope Alumni Group that I've been to in a long time. It was great seeing two of my fav guys who run the group. I will be going back next week on Monday at 1300. Hope Alumni Group is a group for poz military members that is held at Naval Medical Center San Diego on every Monday. It is a really good group for anyone who is interested. You can be newly diagnosed or been poz for years, it dosn't matter. It is a way for some of the older guys who have more experience to share their stories with those of us who havn't been dealing with this as long. Today we spoke about side affects of some of the meds and what kinds of things you should tell your doctor and things such as that. Everyone come into the group with an open mind and it is left up to us to decide what we want to talk about each week. Most guys only go once a year when they have to go to yearly evals but I find it helpful to go as often as I can. I strongly recommend for anyone who can find a group like this to go to it atleast once and see if you like it. Heard of a new website today (well new to me). I have not checked it out yet but plan on it tonight. www.beingalive.org
