Archive note: This post was written in 2009 and reflects the language, medical advice, treatment options, and personal circumstances of that time. HIV care and understanding have changed considerably since then. The post has been preserved as part of the historical HIVBlogger archive and as an honest record of my experience at the time.

It is the day before the local Pride Parade and Party after it. I should be doing more but this morning woke up and had no energy to go and help. So to preserve my energy for the madness that will be tomorrow, I am keeping a low profile and getting on with other things.

Entering the 21st century

On Wednesday I took delivery of an Apple iPhone and am currently making sure all my contacts are stored in it correctly. Who knows, I may even be able to update this blog from it at some point in the near future.

Food continues to be a problem

Depsite all my best efforts, eating is still a problem, mainly due to the lack of appetite and the feeling that there is no point putting in what is going to come out again pretty quickly in another way. However, I have been relatively good and ate pizza last night which had ham and pineapple on it, and I even ate the Rocket that was on it.

Drug problems

My drug problems continue. I mean my problems with my prescription drugs not any problem with any substance misuse. However, I have been much better in recent weeks than before. I have, however, discovered that my pain killer of choice is no longer a good idea. It seems that Nurofen can interact with my Ritonavir so out it goes, and in comes good oldfashioned Paracetamol.
