    • About Me

      I am 49 years young, female, I am in luv wiz my computer, I am a fan crezy member of Netflix and all things movies, and I enjoy a buffet of music including but not all my all time fav Christmas carol "O Holy Night", ~ Tis the Season ~, Andrea Bocelli, Celine Dion, Josh Groban, the Irish singer Tommy Flemming, Celtic Woman, "DANCE TO THE MUSIC" and lemme see Rockin to the Oldies. I enjoy the simple moments such as laughing along with my granddaughter, "What does an elephant say?" I try to stay focused on the possitive in all negative situations. I'd much rather have a manic face than a sad clown face. Last but not least and certainly never the end because than there wouldn't be an edit button, "Nothing happans without a reason."

  • Support Groups

    • Close Multiple Personalities

      I was first diagnosed with what I choose to call MP 21 years ago and up to this point have never been able to find the information I was successfully able to obtain thru this site until now nor been able to find a therapist or treatment facility to assist me in getting the adequate help I have so desparately needed and wanted all these years. I was so overjoyed to find this info. There are so few if any I have found in all my years who fully understand.

    • Close Hypothyroidism

      I was diagnosed with hypo thyroid disease 23 or so years ago. It can really be a roller coaster sometimes. Losing weight for me takes a tremendous amount of effort and very little weightloss. I get tired easily. With routine bloodwork I seem to be ok right now.

      Treatments

      Synthroid Working / Worked
      Finding the right doses is what scares me. To little to much. To much is the worse thing. Its a feeling almost to hard to describe.
      Synthroid Working / Worked
      This is the current drug of choice I am taking and I have been able to maintain on a fairly small does now for about this past 6 months.
    • Open High Blood Pressure

      I had a pregnancy related stroke 23 years ago and I have been on and off meds for HBP. So far so good. I go in for routine checkups.

      Treatments

      Lisinopril Working / Worked
      I take a combo of Lisinoprol/HCTZ 20-25 and it seems to work really well for me.
      Metoprolol Working / Worked
      I have taken this peticular drug on and off thru out the years and it works very well for me. I am currently taking 200 mgs a day.
    • Open High Cholesterol

      I began taking meds 5 years ago. I have a family history of HC along with various other factors I have since changed like watching diet.

      Treatments

      Zocor Working / Worked
      I had very good luck with this drug although because of changes in medicaid I've since been put on another treatment.
      Mevacor Working / Worked
      I take 40 mgs a day and my doctor was very pleased with my last bloodwork although I can say I seem to experiance some dry itch with this peticular drug.
    • Open Obesity

      I have suffered from anorexia and bolemia all my life and even though its under control at the present it still has a way of controlling me. I did'nt experiance obesity problems until after the birth of my second child at 18. I am now 47 and its an everyday challenge for me.

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
      It works if I can get it to work. I think its a process of balance in mind and body. Its not in what I eat its all about portion control and food is my friend.
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      An everyday battle for me. It seems I take 20 steps forward and 25 behind. I don't have motivation or willpower. My brain tells my body everyday hey lets take a walk.
    • Open ADHD / ADD

      I was just recently diagnosed with ADHD within this past year. At least I have a much better understanding why I've struggled so much over the years and in school. I have opted against the use of meds.

    • Open Eating Disorders

I am pretty isolated and feel lonely much of the time. I have tried a ton of meds over the years all of which I ran reactions to. What the professionals term treatment resistent. I am currently seeing a wonderful therapist. I am really just looking for consistent friend support.

    • Open Military Families

      I am a mom with a son serving in the Army. He served a total of 18 months combat and 2 tours in Iraq. We were extremely close until his last deployment and returning home. He changed and I have'nt found a way to deal with my grief. I miss him everyday in some small and big way. Thats about it.

    • Open Bereavement

      I have suffered a great many emotional losses over the years. I am having a difficult time making a clear definition between loss thru death and the emotional grief suffered thru people, places, and situations.
