I have been on disability for many years. I tried working different jobs an often stress and depression, and trying to cope often led me back to drinking. Peripheral neuropathy from protease inhibitors did not help either. I was a florist and horticulturist. After four years of sobriety, I'm trying to wait tables at IHOP, but I've kept getting sick from an intestinal bug. I hope I can keep working. I have HIV, depression, chronic back pain, and Peripheral neuropathy.
