    • Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
      Type: Relapsing-remitting MS

      In 2000 my hubby was diagnosed with M.S. Then in 2002 while pregnant with our 4th and final child I awoke one morning with many neuro problems, my MRI then said lesions were found, and it was "consistant with m.s." I put it behind me, because I got better, so I had no problems for 5 years. Until August 2007, I had some neuro problems, but they were different than the ones 5 years prior. My recent MRI, found greater than 9 lesions, (brain) and shows chronic demylinating disease progression.

      Treatments

      Copaxone Working / Worked
      I hope it is working, have only been on it for 4 months, and hubby has been on it for 2 months.
    • Close Aneurysms

      On December 22, 2006, my older sis was 56 at the time, (I am 36) while Christmas shopping, she collapsed from a massive brain aneurysm. She was put in ICU, but slowly recovered some. She was going to rehab, and communicating, smiling & laughing some. Then on February 9th 2007, it bled out again (it had only been coiled in December) She was once again in "grim condition". When she was stable she was moved to a nursing home, only to have it bleed out again. She then had brain surgery.

      Treatments

      Coiling Not Working
      Sis's aneurysm bled out 2 more times since the initial aneurysm, so the two times the coiling was done, it was not a success.
      Surgery, Brain Somewhat Helpful
      She finally had to have open brain surgery, to clamp the aneurysm, we were told this is a more invasive fix, but also a more permanent one. We are all afraid that it took place too late though, as there is severe brain damage. It has been a nightmare for the entire family, we just want her back, but not this way ,with a trachea, feeding tube and diapers, it has been a long grueling 10 months.
    • Open ADHD / ADD

      My 7 yr. old son has ADHD, it can be very stressful at times. I have struggled for nearly 2 years with the decision to put him on something for it, so first I tried herbs, what a waste of money that was! So I did end up putting him on Straterra. He has been on it for 3 days. It makes me nervous, but I guess he is doing ok so far. He is very intelligent under this disorder. It is just a shame that he has to have it. Not sure if hubby or I have it, our other 3 kids do not.

      Treatments

      Strattera Working / Worked
      Kinda too soon to tell.
    • Open Migraine Headaches

      Treatments

      Caffeine Working / Worked
      If I would get very lucky, and nip it in the bud before it got bad, it would rarely help.
      Excedrin Working / Worked
      Used to work, but rarely.
      Fioricet Working / Worked
      This stuff did work in the past a little bit.
      Imitrex Working / Worked
      Love this stuff, just wish I hadn't waited 11 years to finally find relief.
      Oxycodone Working / Worked
      Was hard to get sometimes had to get it from people that just had some around. It did relieve my migraines though.
