We are owners of a nice hobby farm. We have horses, beef cattles, and many more creatures from God. We have over 105 acres of land, so no neighbours. Peace and quiet the way we love it. If I had to re-do it all over, I would definately go into Medicine. I love and learn something new every day, and for some reason it sticks with me. Love it!

    Interests

    Spend as much time as possible with my children. Carpool mother, have been for years. MEDICINE, THE LAW, Horse Backriding, Photography, Internet, I also love Renovation shows, Real Estate has always interest me. I also used to enjoy fishing, snowmobile, walk in the woods, but unfortunately, I've been diagnosed with Chronic Pain Syndrome, along with Osteoarthritis, so now I'm working on getting in shape by doing Yoga. Since being cured for Hepatitis c virus, I have been working towards the Cause and done some advocate work on several message boards all over the world for years now. Also Member of a Paranormal website. I've also studied Palmistry years ago. St John's ambulance certified. I love life, and life is what you make of it, so get up and do it....

    • Close Hepatitis C

      Diagnosed in 2000, did treatment pegetron/ribavirin for 48 weeks, since then and now years later, still clear. Both my hubby and I consider ourselves cured of the virus.

      Treatments

      Interferon Working / Worked
      Unfortunately I had lots of sides.
      Ribavarin Working / Worked
      Again had lots of side effects and to this day, still experience long term side effects.
      Interferon, pegylated Working / Worked
      Desperate to get rid of the virus, I took the highest dosage of riba, 1200mgs, and one shot of pegetron a week. Brutal medication
      Paxil Working / Worked
      Started them12 weeks into treatment, should have started 2 weeks before starting the meds. Anti's are a must during Interferon treatment.
    • Close Asthma
      Type: Adult Asthma

      I've had Asthma since age 14, now 46. Just finished a pneumonia, feel much better.

      Treatments

      Inhaler Working / Worked
      I get at least one pneumonia a year. Use three inhalers a day.
      Albuterol Working / Worked
      still need to walk very slowly, easily out of breath.
    • Open Chronic Pain

      A few years ago I went on a 48 weeks chemo treatment, peg/riba, and stayed with some long lasting side effects.

      Treatments

      Paxil Working / Worked
      I first took paxils when I did my treatment, then eventually quit, went back to work for almost a year, and did a burn out, now I'm back on them.
      Oxycodone Somewhat Helpful
      20mgs x 2 a day, not nearly enough but this is the first time I have this kind of meds.
    • Open Lung Cancer

      going thru the motions not diagnosed yet, TC Scan next friday. Damaged left lung

    • Open Smoking Addiction & Recovery

      Just diagnosed with COPD and need to quit smoking. I have a book that my specialist has given me with steps towards being a non-smoker, but I need a good support group to help me as well.

      Treatments

      Nicotine Patch Working / Worked
      For the past week I have put on a 21mgs patch and chew a nicoret gum when I feel like smoking one. Very difficult, but doable.
    • Open COPD & Emphysema

      Diagnosed with COPD & Emphysema earlier this month, July 2007.

      Treatments

      Advair Too Soon to Tell
      to soon to tell

    • Open Degenerative Disc Disease

      Since I've always work sitting down at a desk, a year and a half ago, I went to see my PCP not being able to stay put, my hip was in such pain. I thought it was the asciatic nerve, so he sent me for a x-ray which revealed that I had several degenerative disc in my lower back. Having multiple chronic illnesses, I am currently on 60mgs of oxcycontin, which relieves some of the pain, but not nearly enought. What to do next, I just don't know? Have been dealing with other tests, next deal with disks

    • Open Arthritis

      After years of living with chronic pain syndrome, finally diagnosed with osteoarthritis, and DDD. Need a knee replacement, and mayby a ankle, and hip. My other knee has water already, so just a question of time. Schedual to see a Rheumatologist in August. Seeking for words of advice when I do have my appointment.

      Treatments

      Surgery, Knee Replacement Considering
      My left knee is finished. Need a knee replacement,but doctors says I'm too young, but it's already spurring so it's just a question of time. Was told to avoid stairways. mmmm
    • Open Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS)

      ok, first off I am here on behalf of my husbands step father. He had been diagnosed with GBS since last fall and they still don't have him on any kind of treatment, so I decided to come and see what would help him. He is scared to sleep at night in case he would paralise up to the chest, so far his legs and mid section below are partly paralised. A very scared man at this point..

    • Open Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety

      During chemo treatment, that kepted me housebound for a year, the situation went on to be the same post treatment. I never would go out even though my journey was finish, and years later, I am slowly starting to live life again. But one incident happened in July of this year 2008, which left me starting panic attacks again, which I had not experienced since doing chemo treatment in 2004. The passing of my dear friend, has got me stranded again. So once and awhile I need a place like this forum
