I am 32 years old...single...live in the awesome town of Champaign IL! (I just love the name!) I grew up here actually. I am a nanny for 4 kids...only two are siblings. they are 10, 6, 2, 1. The 6yr old and 2yr old are sibs. I work out of their house. I have awesome bosses who really appreciate me...so that helps my self esteem! Speaking of which I have dealt with low self esteem and suffer from depression most of my life. Have had Endometriosis since I was 13 but only diagnosed in March 2007. Also just recently diagnosed with HPV, March 2008. :-( My best friend Robin died (Aug 16, 2004) of stage 4 breast cancer at the age of 38.

I love to read...very eclectic in my tastes...I love mysteries, fiction (Harry Potter, love books by Carol Goodman, Jodi Picoult, David Sedaris, Sophie Kinsella). I cross-stitch, play volleyball. I use to sing on my church's worship team...but they were heading in a direction I didn't like so i quit. But I miss it terriblly!! I am very interested in things revolving around breast cancer. I started a little library at the cancer center that Robin had her Chemo at....for patients who come in and forgot things to do. I also try several times a year to make baskets for newly diagnosed breast cancer patients...they have things to make chemo a little more comfortable like a fleece blanket, comfy fun socks, new paperback books, puzzle books, then I also throw in things like germ killer, lotions (ones that are good for skin after radiations), some little snack packs, bottled water, chapstick, note cards, a journal.....and more stuff that I can't remember! At Christmas time I have the baskets go to patients who are having a really hard time...and need a pick me up!

I am needing to switch health insurances starting in Jan. But have been denied by two different companies because of "pre-existing" …
Wishing you some relief from your pain and a good week.
I am. It's been a very long time lol.
thats what i thought as well but i guess not. so im looking around for some new insurance.do you have any insurance you recommend.i just turned 18 so i have no idea where to start lol
no i cant anymore. my insurance dropped all ob/gyn visits to all illinois doctors so i can only see an ob/gyn if im pregnant. well its good to hear your doing well
hey there
havent talked to you in a while. checking in to see if all is well.

I have had Endo since I was about 18...but just found that out for sure this past Spring, at the age of 30. Had a laparoscopy done...pretty minimal disease present for amount of pain I continue to be in. Am very frustrated at how little options there are for dealing with this. I have tried hormonal meds, most don't work or are too expensive. So my option now is to just treat the pain, with Prescript pain meds.
I am not really sure that my eating disorder fits into any of the specific catagories. I will go thru periods of binging and then not eatting. So I guess perhaps a mix of anorexia and bulimia. I have never really sought treatment for this other than talking about it in counseling. I was on prozac for depression but it wasn't helpful with the eating.
I have been dealing with self esteem issues which cause my depression...since I was 12...so for 18 years now. But after my best friend died in 2004 from breast cancer...it worstened to a point I couldn't deal any more without trying medication...even on med I am still having times of darkness
Just diagnosed with this.
