Hi, I'm an English, ex-teacher who has lived for the past 25 years in the Netherlands (currently Amsterdam). I contracted HIV a few years ago and amongst other 'by-products' of the virus or the treatment, neuropathy, which continues to dominate my life. There was so little information on the web directed at people like myself that I decided to create both a website (see below) and a Blog  () to provide both information and a means of exchanging ideas.
