    • About Me

      My husband and baby girl are my world. I know that I have been through more challenges in life than some, and less than others-- therefore I learn what I can from everyone and hope my contributions help someone, in return!

      I think you are right. My husband is going to have to give me my time right now. He will just have to learn to deal. We have survived the last two years without my extra income, he can wait a little longer!

      From AshleyAnn05 March 5, 2008

      My day is going fairly well. So far I haven't pulled at all. I've been busy working on my ipod and wedding stuff so hopefully I will stay that way.

    • Close Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling)
      Type: Trichotillomania

      I've had trich since 4th grade. By 7th grade I only had the outer fringes of my hair left. My pulling lessened during college. After graduation I started pulling again. The next year I met my husband and went 10 months PF, but the urge to pull did not go away! My hair grew back about 3 inches. After the wedding I went through some life changes and pulled out all the growth. I'm starting over again.

    • Close Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

      I've been diagnosed with CTS in both hands. This is directly related to computer use (career) and trichotillomania.

    • Open TMJ

      I am experiencing TMJ, I believe. I have constant dizziness which is interferring with my life in a huge, and very scary way. Constant ringing in the ears, constant jaw pain. It hurts to eat/chew. Doctors have ruled out most other causes of my symptoms w/ testing, etc. In need of advice, and support.

      Treatments
