Goals

Support Groups
Close Obesity
I've had an ongoing problem with this issue forever now. I've recently had a gastric bypass surgery and this has helped me in my goal to attain health.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- As long as I'm diligent in this, it works well.
- Gastric Bypass Surgery Working / Worked
- This has been a miracle in helping me attain health.
- Overeaters Anonymous (OA) Somewhat Helpful
- Depended at which cycling in my bulimia/binge eating disorder I was in on whether it worked.
- Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
- Another one that when I could keep up strictly with it, it'd work. Now my physical health won't allow it.
- Slim-Fast Somewhat Helpful
- Another one that if I'd stay on it forever it'd probably work, but I can't afford it.
- Topamax Not Working
- This never worked for me.
- Weight Watchers Somewhat Helpful
- Was all right and worked okay so long as I could afford it.
- Xenical Somewhat Helpful
- This helped so long as I could keep taking it. My insurance dropped it cuz they considered it for cosmetic reason.
Close Fibromyalgia
Talk about a nightmare. I wasn't diagnosed until probably July sometime. I've been dealing with the symptoms for ages now.
Treatments
- Heat Not Working
- This only intesifies pain for me.
- Neurontin Somewhat Helpful
- I'm on a pretty low dose, so it's hard to know just what an impact I'm getting.
- Ultram Working / Worked
- Ultram itself doesn't work on me, but the Ultracet does. I guess the Tylenol in the Ultracet mixed with the Ultram itself seems to do something different for me.
- Ibuprofen Working / Worked
- I have to take this 3 times a day to stay on top of the pain.
- Lidoderm Working / Worked
- Also know as pain patches in my world. LOL. They work okay some of the time.
- Ice Pack Working / Worked
- This works wonders, but only temporarily.
- Flexeril Working / Worked
- I'm on a low dose for sleep. They tell me that good sleep helps me manage pain better.
- Elavil Working / Worked
- Never again. I was tired all the time. It kicked up my bipolar syptoms badly. I had to go off it after a week cuz it was so bad on me.
Open Bipolar Disorder
I've been bipolar for as long as I can recall. I'm what's known as a rapid cycling bipolar. It's a wild ride to live on!
Treatments
- Abilify Working / Worked
- Worked for a while.
- Ativan Somewhat Helpful
- It helped for the anxiety, but due to other med changes they had to change this too.
- Celexa Working / Worked
- Worked for a long time but hospitalization and a doctor there screwing up led me to a change.
- Depakote Working / Worked
- This has been a miracle drug for me. We've tried so many and even tried going off this and nothing works in it's place.
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
- This is by far the best treatment so far.
- Equetro Not Working
- Not good luck.
- Geodon Not Working
- This so didn't work. I got loopy and tired on it.
- Haldol Not Working
- This was a nightmare. I spent a month suicidal trying it out.
- Lamictal Not Working
- This gave me akathesia that I couldn't handle.
- Seroquel Somewhat Helpful
- It sorta helped, but because of weight gain I got off it. Combining Seroquel and Depakote isn't good on the weight.
- Tegretol Not Working
- No good.
- Topamax Not Working
- No results.
Open Depression
Type: Seasonal Affective DisorderLots of depression over the years. To elaborate would take me forever.
Treatments
- Celexa Somewhat Helpful
- Worked for a while.
- Effexor Not Working
- This did nothing for me.
- Elavil Not Working
- So didn't work. I was so sedated it was stupid. It aggrevated my bipolar badly.
- Geodon Not Working
- I turned into a zombie. I couldn't function.
- Lexapro Working / Worked
- This seems to be another of my miracle meds.
- Paxil Not Working
- It might've been a good med, but I had an undesirable side effect so I requested a d/c on it.
- Prozac Not Working
- I went way too high on it.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Most of the time this helps me.
- Seroquel Somewhat Helpful
- Kind of helped, but between Depakote and Seroquel together, the weight was coming on, so I dumped Seroquel.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- Mainly support from friends does it.
- Trazodone Working / Worked
- Did well for my sleep at least.
- Writing Working / Worked
- I blog frequently and it does help most times.
- Zoloft Not Working
- No good for me.
Open Personality Disorders
Type: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)It's been an up/down experience.
Treatments
- Talking Working / Worked
- Often times helps.
Open Eating Disorders
Type: BulimiaI dealt with bulimia via laxative abuse for a while. I'm recovering now, have been for a while and am here to support anyone who is looking for recovery and support.
Treatments
- Overeaters Anonymous (OA) Not Working
- This really didn't help me much.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- This, by far, has been the best tool for me.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- Good support from my friends keeps me from slipping up.
