    • About Me

      I have overcome many struggles, but recently face the hardest challenge of my life. I have been through some physical abuse as a child. Emotional and physical abuse as an adult, and date rape. Due to a poor choice (but I didn't have all the true information about him) in a recent boyfriend, I was assaulted twice in less than 3 weeks. Court is next week. I have only told 3 people and will try my best to keep this from anyone else that knows me. I don't want it effecting my work. I also continue to blame myself, even though I wasn't the one that broke the law or inflicted harm on another.

      Treatments

      Abuse Counseling Working / Worked
      prior to sessions I get very anxious. some days I just don't want to deal with it. I don't have much energy right now.
    • Open High Cholesterol

      Lipitor messed with my heart and muscles. It was horrible. Luckily, treatment was stopped in time. I also have a rate heart condition, so that might have something to do with it. However, everyone I know at work that has tried Lipitor has stopped due to side effects. (7 people)

      Treatments

      Fish Oil Working / Worked
      fish oil, flax, and cheerios or Kashi's version help
      Flax Working / Worked
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      I am on an academic calendar and my BP and cholesterol levels elevate during high stress times in the semesters. Teaching doesn't mean the stress goes away. Trust me. Even just walking helps. Other cardio, breathing, strength training also helps.
      Zetia Working / Worked
      I haven't had the side effects with Zetia, but I only took it for a couple weeks.
