    • About Me

      I'm Kyna, I'm 17 and live in large town that is slowly developing into something interesting. My friends are generally as screwed up as I am...though most of them aren't talking to me anymore. A lot of things are complicated for me...I read a lot, but I'm not a fan of writing (on occasion I will write but not much). Playing video games and role playing online is something I enjoy. I have cmt, and am in pain from it most of the time. I've suffered from depression since I was about seven, but recently it has changed, I'm bipolar. No one gets why I'm the lucky one in the family. I'm an indigo, , like the one I love...yay!...Send me a message or something if you want to get to know me, or want to talk.

    • Interests

      I like reading, I do it more than watching tv (which is unlike most teenagers) J'adore parler français. Though, Je sais, Je suis non tres bien. Kevin Smith movies are amazing, I love vampires, shape-shifters and magic. My true friends mean a lot to me, but they're pretty hard to find...I like movies and girls' nights out. = )

      From rennikc August 28

      Sorry I haven't been on much.....I barely have a chance right now to check my messages. I have missed talking to you so much. Until my wife is better from getting t-boned by an 18 wheeler it will be tough for me to get on here....looks like you haven't been on lately either.

    • Close Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease

      I was diagnosed about a year ago after being told for years that the pain I was in was all in my head. I am the first known case in my family.

      Treatments

      Elavil Not Working
      I'm on the maximum dosage they'll put me on (125mg), it worked a little bit for about a week now it is doing nothing at all. Gave me really bad dry mouth the first couple months, also I craved anything with sugar in it, so I gained some weight because of it.
      Heat Working / Worked
      Helps with stiffness so I can stretch and not hurt AS much.
      Oxycodone Somewhat Helpful
      Helps some
      Physical Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      I've been going for about three years, for my feet and back. Knees when they start hurting too. Strength training mostly but it really doesn't do much for me. Right now trying to help strengthen my feet after their surgeries.
      Surgery Working / Worked
      It has been a long road. Had my first to reconstruct my feet in September, the next is to come in February. My foot is straight for the first time ever.

    • Open Self-Injury

      I started cutting in sixth grade after being emotionally abused for years from my sister. I was to the point where I didn't know what else to do. I had seen it on tv and figured it was worth a shot. I got addicted and did it pretty often for two years. Stopped for awhile when my sister left, then started again. Again when she moved I pretty much stopped, now she's back and I've started again.

      Treatments

      Red Marker Not Working
      It isn't the same.
      Rubber Bands Not Working
      Didn't do the same thing for me, and made my wrists look really bad. It was more obvious that I was hurting myself.
      Squeezing Ice Not Working
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      I spend most nights on the phone with a friend trying to prevent myself from doing anything. Sometimes it helps other times I just can't help it.
