Coping with the side-effects of drug treatments or Aids related illnesses is a battle itself. How can you eat well or cook at all if you can't keep anything down, you are in constant pain or the ulcers in your throat make eating almost impossible? The Food Chain is actively feeding the fight against HIV and Aids by offering cooked meals for housebound sufferers. ——————————————————————————————————1/8—— by Catherine Coate, the Media Trust IS LOVE IN THE AIR FOR YOU? p148 Timestars Work Connect Godlines
