    • About Me

      Just an ordinary woman who is devoted to her family. I have three grown children. My oldest is a daughter and she is currently in treatment for breast cancer. My husband is in remission with non-hodgkins lymphoma . I have fibromyalgia and type 2 diabetes. My greatest joy at the present time is my two year old grandson. Planning to move south whenever we sell our house and I can't wait! I am a Christian and proud of it.

    • Interests

      I love to clean house..and in the summer I work in my yard. I have so many interests that I could never list them all. I love to read, do crosswords, Sudoku, surf on the computer, and lunch with girlfriends. I love shopping and am a self-proclaimed QVC addict!

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I was diagnosed with Fibro about 8 years ago...I have had a pretty mild case. I do feel tired most of the time and can't sleep for the pain in my back and hips. Some days are harder than others.

      Treatments

      Acupuncture Working / Worked
      I'm a true believer
      Cymbalta Not Working
      I think Cymbalta is the worst medication for me. The withdrawal was unbelievable...I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
      Elavil Not Working
      Terrible for me...I wanted to sit and stare into space 24/7...I would prefer the pain to becoming a Zombie
      Massage Working / Worked
      This is the best treatment for me. Too bad I can't afford it more often!
    • Close Non-hodgkin's Lymphoma

      My husband was diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma in 2004..he had agressive treatment at MD Anderson in Houston TX...and is in remission now for a year. I would enjoy hearing anything you have to share as far as your experiences with Lymphoma

    • Open Diabetes Type 2

      I was diagnosed with type 2 about 8 years ago...at first I controlled it with diet, then went on Metformin which I struggled with for a year..and then just decided to contol it as best I could without medications. That ended about 2 yrs ago. I was on Avandia for a while then switched to Actos. The Actos was discontinued two months ago and since then I have not taken any medication. I need to start on something soon, but the side effects are all so alarming to me.

      Treatments

      Actos Working / Worked
      Had to stop taking it
      Amaryl Not Working
      Didn't work for me
      Avandia Working / Worked
      Worked in the beginning but I had too many problems with it
      Januvia Not Working
      Didn't do the job for me
      Metformin Too Soon to Tell
      I recently went back on this medication and it's too soon to tell if it will give me the same bad effects as it did before. I am running out of options fast.
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      This is always good, but I have to get committed to doing this on a regular basis.
    • Open Caregivers

      I was caregiver to my father for over two years. He passed away in 2004 just one month before I found out my husband had cancer. He is now in remission, but I have had my fair share of caregiving....it's the hardest job in the world, but it has so many rewards.

    • Open Skin Cancer
      Type: Basil Cell Cacinoma

      I had MOHS surgery two years ago for Basal cell on my nose. It turned out good. I had to also have a skin graft because it was so large. From the outside it looked so small...just a speck, but I guess underneath was the size of a quarter. I am glad I had it checked when I did.

    • Open Psoriasis
      Affected Areas: Psoriasis of the Skin

      I have had small spots of psoriasis for about 10 years or longer. Never knew what kind. It comes and goes. I never have more than 5 or 6 spots. The steroid creams take care of it most of the time. I also have scalp psoriasis but not often. I have only had that a few times.

      Treatments

      Coal Tar Working / Worked
      nothing special
