    • About Me

      I really don't like to fill out profiles because I never know what to say. So please just "bear" with me. I'm 40 and have Scoliosis and degenerative arthritis. Not only do I have these but I also have somthing unknown that doesn't allow my brain and motor skills to function together. I have a real tough time convincing people that I'm not retarded or lazy. The brain/motor skills thing has made mea little slow. This is how God made me and its just a part of who I am. Hey what can I say....I'm just me!!! I have a wonderful boyfriend who loves me for the person that I am and I thank God for him!!!!

      I enjoy having fun and fellowship with family and friend, esp with my christian friends!!! I also like to watch Ice-skating/dancing. I like to watch t.v. and listen to music. Some of the things I like to watch are sci-fi/fantasy (if it isn't to weird), drama, some comedy, some reality shows and some game shows. I really love participating in church activities. I love to teach "Childrens' church" and just be there for anyone who needs a shoulder to lean on.I love animals, I would have a kitten or a puppy if I was could, but I have a goldfish named "Gertrude" that I adore!!!!

    • Close Arthritis

      I have degenerative arthritis in my hips I also have Scoliosis in my back. Everyday I live with some kind of pain that is related to the arthritis and scoliosis. Since I have been laid off for over a yr now, I can't afford my prescript and have to rely on o-t-c's. They help a little, but when I'm really in pain, I take a couple of aspirin or ibuprofens and go lay down for a while. I don't know if laying acctually helps or not. I usually fall asleep anyway.

      Treatments

      Ibuprofen Somewhat Helpful
      Taking anything like this I go lay down if I'm really hurting.
      Naproxen Somewhat Helpful
      Again anything like this I go and take a nap if I'm hurting really bad!!
      Tylenol Somewhat Helpful
      Anything in this category is somewhat helpful, again if I'm hurting really bad I go and lay down!!
      Relaxation Somewhat Helpful
      If I don't have any aspirin or any other otc in the house I try to lay down and relax. I have a couple of relaxation c.d.s that I listen to.
    • Close Scoliosis

      I have scoliosis and arthritis. I have had the scoliosis since about my freshman yr of high school. my family doc just found the arthritis about a yr and a half ago. i am supposed to be on a prescrip, but can't afford it so to cut down on the pain I use otc's like tylenol.

      Treatments

      Tylenol Somewhat Helpful
      I have used several different things for my scoliosis and arthritis. I have used otc's like Advil and Tylenol. I am supposed to be on a prescrip for pain but can't afford it. So besides the tylenol and advil I use relaxation. I have a couple of relaxation cd's that I listen to. I sometimes have to take time out of my day for a nap because I hurt so bad.

    • Open Transgender

      I am the S/O of a transitioning transsexual. We are slowly going our own ways in life, but its something that we both feel we have to do. We will always care for each other and we are parting as friends. I hope that where-ever life takes us that we will always be friends.
