    Give lissajo a hug

      Never take someone for granted. Hold every person close to your heart, because you might wake up one day and realize that you've lost a diamond... while you were too busy collecting stones.

      The Bend In The Road When we feel we have nothing left to give, And we are sure that the song has ended, When our day seems over and the shadows fall And the darkness of night has descended, Where can we go to find the strength To valiantly keep on trying? Where can we find the hand that will dry The tears that the heart is crying? There's but one place to go and that is to God, and dropping all pretense and pride, We can pour out our problems without restraint And gain strength with Him at our side. And together we stand at life's crossroads And view what we think is the end, But God has a much bigger vision, And He tells us it's only a bend. For the road goes on and is smoother, And the pause in the song is a rest, And the part that's the unsung and unfinished Is the sweetest and richest and best. So, rest and relax and grow stronger... Let go and Let God share your load. Your work is not finished or ended... You've just come to a bend in the road. ~Helen Steiner Rice~

    • Close Celiac Disease

      I have dealt with ill health my entire life and doctors were absolutely NO help. I figured out that I was gluten sensitive by going gluten-free and am currently (Dec 07) on the road to be diagnosed.

      Treatments

      Gluten Free Diet Working / Worked
      I have dealth with chronic constipation my ENTIRE life with no relief from diet, meds, fiber, supplements, NOTHING. After going gluten-free for three days I was going normally everyday which was nothing short of a miracle. Experiencing other problems so I am going thru the testing to get diagnosed.
    • Close Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

      lissajo hasn’t entered any details for this support group.
    • Open Diabetes Type 2

      I have Celiac disease and have dealt with hypoglycemia for years now. Diabetes is on both sides of my family and I am continually having blood sugar problems.

      Treatments

      Eating Healthier Foods Somewhat Helpful
      Still having major dips even though eating well.
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      Not sure that this is helpful for hypoglycemia but good for me overall.
    • Open Panic Attacks

      I have had a few panic attacks in the past.

      Treatments

      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      I feel more exhausted after a workout but I know it is good for me!
    • Open Anxiety

      Struggled with anxiety for a long time now....

      Treatments

      Lexapro Working / Worked
      Don't know yet...just starting today!
      Xanax Working / Worked
      Has worked for low-grade panic attacks...
    • Open Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

      I was diagnosed in January of 2009 after trying to get pregnant for three months. Basically, I have non-existent cycles which prompted the doctor's visit. I can add one more diagnosis to my profile-a very sarcastic "yay" is in order. We are optimistic, however.

      Treatments

      Metformin Too Soon to Tell
      Metformin made me extremely nauseous the first three weeks on it; I am still at 1000 mg (mg/mm?) and it really hasn't seemed to help regulate anything. We are going to give it one more month and up my dosage...
      Provera Working / Worked
      Well, I haven't had a period for three months and started passing white/see-thru-ish globs when urinating and they determined that my uterine lining was too thick and needed to be passed thru a period-hence, the Provera. Worked like a charm! Definitely not letting it go another three months before saying anything; 3 months of backed up period is NOT fun-wouldn't recommend it!
