    • About Me

      I'm a Christian, housewife, and mommy of a 3 year old. I'm kind of different. That's all I know for sure, right now. I like to make things and I like old fashioned stuff too. Shtiya means "my strength". It supposed to be an Eskimo name for a sled dog, but I just like it.

    • Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
      Type: Relapsing-remitting MS

      I had problems for a long time and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. I finally went to the dr. when I started going numb on my left side and stumbling. I was so glad to find out something! That was 3 years ago. I found out about the MS the same time I found out I was pregnant with my first child!

      Treatments

      Aqua Therapy Considering
      I think this might feel nice, anyway. :)
      Copaxone Not Working
      the shot hurt and it's real hard to get motivated about giving yourself a shot everyday. It didn't help at all. I had more relapses when I was on it than when I was off.
      Physical Therapy Considering
      My neurologist suggested this for me. I wonder what kind of physical therapy they're talking about? I think it would really help if I got out and started moving around more!
      Prednisone Not Working
      My neurologist prescribed this for me when my left eye went all blurry. (Optic Neuritis) I got the pill form and then the IV form...neither one helped at all and I felt really bad after the IVs. I thought I was going to start growing a beard too! Ha, ha! (watch the movie Blood Work, then you'll get it)
      Provigil Working / Worked
      seems to work. Been alternating between this and coffee.
      Rebif Working / Worked
      just started Dec. 27th. Doesn't hurt as bad as Copaxone. Seems to be working okay, but the side effects aren't fun.
      Swimming Considering
      I would if I knew how! :D
    • Close Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I've been overweight since I was ten years old. I've been trying to lose weight since I was twelve. I use food as a comfort, so that explains a lot about me. I don't know what to do anymore about losing weight. When I get emotionally upset, I overeat. And I get upset a lot.

      Treatments

      Eat Less Working / Worked
      It was working. First I lost my appetite, then it came back with a vengeance!
    • Open Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

      tried to kill myself w/overdose. psych says i have some of this too.

      Treatments

      Keppra Too Soon to Tell
      I dont know. Im just sleepy.....
    • Open Bipolar Disorder

      Hello, fellow bipolar-ers! :)

      Treatments

      Depakote Not Working
      Caused me to stop obsessing so frequently, but I can't tell any thing else. I'm still obsessing, like I used to, it seems. I just haven't taken it very far, like I used to.
      Keppra Not Working
      I dont think this was prescribed for the bipolar cause it aint working if it was! got a few other problems too.
    • Open Depression

      I just want to sleep.......

      Treatments

      Prozac Somewhat Helpful
      I wish they'd prescribe me something that works better than this.
      Writing Working / Worked
      How's this for ya? Was feeling suicidal a few weeks ago, wrote about my problems in my journal on here, didn't get any help from anyone, went through with the whole suicide plan. Didn't work (duh!), sent to the nut farm, now I'm back home. And I must say, very confused.
    • Open Urinary Incontinence

      I've had problems with my bladder and with incontinence since I was a toddler.

      Treatments

      Diapers Working / Worked
      Depends are great!
      Kegel Exercise Not Working
      I just can't get it to work for me. I've been holding it back for years to keep from peeing on myself. I feel like I've finally worn the muscles out.
    • Open Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety

      I used to be extremely social phobic, but I think I've came out of a lot of it. Still, it feels like everybody is looking at me when I go in the store or even when I'm outside of my house. It makes me very uncomfortable.

    • Open Parenting Preschoolers (3-5)

      I've got a three year old girl and I'm disabled and practically know nothing about parenting....somebody help!

      Treatments

      Patience Working / Worked
      works when I can manage it.
      Positive Reinforcement Working / Worked
      worked pretty good so far
    • Open Medicare

      The Social Security administration finally figured out that I was indeed disabled. So, I've finally got my Medicare card through the mail and while it's nice to have health insurance, I don't know how to start using it..........

    • Open Phobia

      I'm scared to death of spiders. I always have been. I just can't handle it.

    • Open Adoption

      My husband and I decided to adopt because my family doctor told me it was too much of a risk to become pregnant again. I have bipolar disorder and Multiple Sclerosis. We've thought about adopting an older child, but the first adoption agency we applied to said we couldn't adopt because of my problems. I don't know what to do.

    • Open Hydrocephalus

      I'm looking for a girl I know that was on DS. Her name is Jennifer. I know she has hydrocephalus.
