      From April1963 July 27

      Hi Anne, I hope you're feeling better. Sorry to hear about the pulmonary embolism. I pray you will be fine. Sorry to hear about your son & having problems with him too. Kids are really hard. It's hard being a single mom too. I know this. My kids are 19 & 23 now and it's way easier, but I've had my struggles, believe me. It will get better. I was glad to hear from you. I haven't been online a lot myself. Don't worry, about not getting back. I'm sure you've been quite busy. Take care & God bless. Hugs, Sandi

    • Close Self-Injury

      Between the ages of 14-19 I use to self mutilate because of depression and feeling unloved and unwanted. I stopped at age 19 when I found out I was pregnant with my son the last time I had done it but didn't realize it. I never injuried myself for ten years until July, 2006, shortly after a miscarriage. I was out of control until last November. Now I am doing a lot better.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Not Working
      Before when I went to counseling they always told me I was too smart to be there and I was wasting their time so I stopped going.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Now that I have found a more caring therapist I am doing better and feeling like I can tell him without him judging me....which is what I need the most.
      Lexapro Working / Worked
      Has been working so far but just today 1/17 the doc changed my prescription to a generic form of the same medicine. Hopefully it will work just as well.
    • Close Miscarriage

      Where to start? All together I have had three miscarriages with the most recent being June 23, 2006, the day after my 29th birthday. I was devastated and dealt with it in a self destructive behavior but am doing better now than what I was before.

      Treatments

      Support Groups Somewhat Helpful
      My first meeting was in July and I have been going ever since and it has helped a little but none of them have recently miscarried.
    • Open Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

      I was diagnosised with PCOS in 1997 shortly after the birth of my son. It has been hard for me to get pregnant in the past and I think this disease had something to do with my miscarriages....one in 2004 and recently in 2006.

      Treatments

      Metformin Somewhat Helpful
      I take this for my diabetes so I am not sure if it does help or not. I guess it does but not so sure.
      Metformin Somewhat Helpful
      I guess it is working somewhat but I have to take it for another reason than PCOS.
      Oral Contraceptives Somewhat Helpful
      They have worked in the past but this time I am not so sure unless I am not giving it enough time to work.
    • Open Pulmonary Embolism

      June 24, 2009 I felt like I was having a heart attack and ended up being taken to the ER by ambulance. The ER doc told me I had blood clots in my lungs with the right one being bigger. I was told this was called Pulmonary Embolism and since then I have been trying to adjust to the changes and new medication plus putting up with all the blood tests.
