    • Close Scoliosis

      I had scoliosis as a child. I was diagnosed at 12 and monitored until 16 at which time the curve spiked to 45 degrees in 6 short months. I immediately had spinal fusion and had the harrington rod inserted. Back then recovery was very different than now! Unfortunately, my 13 yr old girl had scoliosis too, worse than me and just had surgery February 5, 2009. It's been a guilt ridden journey.

      Treatments

      Harrington Rods Working / Worked
      It cured the curve, but 20 some years later has caused deterioration of the vertebrae beneath the fusion and I experience pain on a regualr basis.
    • Close Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Parent

      My Dad died suddenly January 3, 2007. He was my best friend and my strongest supporter. I never got to say goodbye and miss him more and more every day.

      Treatments

      Crying Working / Worked
      Can't help the waterworks... they just come out whether I want to or not!
      Prayer Working / Worked
      Having my Temple family around me has been a great source of comfort and support.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Doesn't feel like it is working, but it feels good to know there is someone there for me whenever I need him and who does NOT judge me!
    • Open Breakups & Divorce

      I was divorced last year after 18 years of marriage. The breakup was very bitter and we still can't get along. My daughter blames me for the divorce and is glued to her Dad every moment she can be. My ex often "forgets" he had a son, and my 15 year old boy is very aware of this and resents it. Ex is also in the process of ordering a Chinese bride off the internet which certainly makes things more interesting.... Ex is also a compulsive spender n bipolar.

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Not Working
      It took several years to get ex to go to counseling and he didn't really get it. Wasn't interested in talking about the issues, just defended every statement I made against him.
    • Open Back Pain

      Treatments

      Cortisone (Injection) Working / Worked
      Worked once but not second time
      Hydrocodone Working / Worked
