Any time! I'm so sorry to hear that the little one isn't at his best... but, like all things, this too is temporary! Perhaps when he's down you could enjoy some soft, soothing music? And maybe hubby/boyfriend taking over for a spell? (Cause we ladies need our beauty rest!) Much love, m'dear... Miss Em

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.
Close 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.

Treatments
- Talking Working / Worked
- Often times helps.
Open Food Addiction
I've been a binge eater and compulsive overeater all my life. I'm now recovering on both counts finally.
Treatments
- Overeaters Anonymous (OA) Not Working
- Just didn't do it well enough for me.

Treatments

I have a son who was born in 2002, and while I'm so very grateful for him, I still feel our family isn't complete and haven't been able to win the battle in getting pregnant again!
Treatments
