Diagnosed with spastic diplegia at 2 1/2.
Treatments

- Baclofen Not Working
- Did not help. Major nausea.
- Gabapentin Working / Worked
- Keeps my nerve pain under control.

Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionDiagnosed as depressed 3 years ago when my father died. Just lost my mom on Jan 2. Really struggling just to get through each day now.
Treatments
- Paxil Not Working
- I was on 30 mg a day but it aggrevated my CP symptoms.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- Went to counselling short term after dad. Was ok. But now it is not possible for medical reasons.
Open Chronic Pain
I'm 28 and I have cerebral palsy, what was thought to be MS (but now isn't) scoliosis, suspected fibromyalgia, disc disease and arthritis, among other things.
Treatments
- Chiropractic Adjustment Working / Worked
- Been in ciropractic care since I was 2. Highly reccomend it.
- Marijuana Working / Worked
- It only helps let my muscles relax a bit. Not much effect otherwise.
- Oxycodone Somewhat Helpful
- Some days it can touch the pain, other times it does not.
Open Bereavement
Type: Loss of a ParentThree years ago I lost my father to lung cancer. In late August my mother was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer. I lost her on Jan 2. I feel as though my world has ended and the pain will never stop.
Treatments
- Crying Not Working
- I strat to cry and then it just shuts off, no matter how much I need to get it out.
- Grief Counseling Somewhat Helpful
- Short term, walk in basis. Was somewhat helpful but it is hard to do for medical reasons.
