      Is it just me, or does the whole world seem to be on the diet, self-improvement, goal-setting merry-go-round?  What's wrong with the person …

    • Close Multiple Myeloma
      Stage: III

      My MM is in remission since SCT 5/05. Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. Just want to life each day to its fullest.

      Treatments

      Chemotherapy Working / Worked
      Massive doses of chemo right before transplant. Caused the skin inside my mouth and down my throat to peel off, leaving me unable to speak, drink, or eat. On tpn for 2 months
      Thalidomide Working / Worked
      Did bring my numbers down. Taken about 4 months before SCT.
    • Close Heart Failure

      DX 12/04, also dx with cancer (multiple myeloma) and amyloidisis 10/04. Heart attack/ 2 stents placed 5/2000, kidney failure and dialysis 8-04 to 10-04. Stem cell transplant 5/05. Decressin heart ejection fraction. Referred for heart transplant 10/07

      Treatments

      Aldactone Working / Worked
      works better than the lasix
      Carvedilol Somewhat Helpful
      dr. just changed this med to something else
      Lasix Somewhat Helpful
      Recently changed to 2 other meds for excess fluid buildup
      Vitamin E Working / Worked
      I can't tell a difference with or without taking it
    • Open Breakups & Divorce

      Hi,this site was recommened to me by a friend. I'm a divorced mom of a 25 y/o son. I love music, windchimes, rain, and the fall. Spectator sports are a passion, but I'd rather be outdoors, even if it's just to watch the world go by from my front porch. I'm a country girl....just doing what I can to survive.

      Treatments

      Leave Working / Worked
      Works for a while, but then obligations always bring you back and with less money.
      Music Working / Worked
      I love to lie in the floor and play my music just a little too loud, zone out, and not think a single thought.
      Pets Working / Worked
      My cat loves me.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Having to pay someone to listen to your problems seems a little on the weird side. Just call me a weirdo.
      Writing Working / Worked
      I have been keeping a handwritten journal for many years. When I go back and read some of my past entries, I think: What an idiot I was! or I must have been on drugs when I wrote that!(not really, because I don't do drugs). When you get enough away from the past that you can laugh at what used to make you cry, you've made progress.
    • Open Healthy Relationships

      While I have friends, I tend to keep them at a distance. I want to connect with someone who is on the same plane of existence.

      Treatments

      Writing Working / Worked
      I've kept a journal off and on all my adult life. Sometimes I've written every day for long periods, then I'll go years without writing. I thought maybe being online might bring me closer to what I'm searching for.
