About Me
I'm a full time student. During the summer I am a nanny in Texas. I love reading, drawing, music, video games (especially classics), animals, and languages. I have one cat and a turtle, but I want more pets when I get my own place. I'm studying to teach special education.

Close Asthma
Type: Adult AsthmaI have always been very active, and had slight problems with wheezing. Then when I was 16, I had bronchitis, and my wheezing got worse-- I was diagnosed with exercise induced asthma. Now I just have full-fledged adult asthma.
Treatments
- Inhaler Somewhat Helpful
- I'm on a Flovent/Albuterol combination right now, and it works when I remember to take the flovent, but the albuterol (rescue inhaler makes me dizzy and weak and shaky)
Close Food Allergies
I have a mild kiwi allergy, a moderate peanut allergy, and a SEVERE orange allergy. Oranges make me wheeze at the slightest scent, which is frustrating as they are in a lot of products.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Not Working
- I'm getting very frustrated-- it's impossible to avoid oranges.
Open Eating Disorders
I've had problems with disordered eating since I was fourteen or so. Not ready to expand on this yet. Just beginning to seek treatment.
Open Depression
I have had depression for as long as I can remember, and have been diagnosed with Dysthymic Depressive Disorder.
Treatments
- Zoloft Working / Worked
- Zoloft helps a lot, but there are still rough days. . .
- Prozac Not Working
- I didn't notice any difference with Prozac
- Risperdal Working / Worked
- I'm not sure why they thought I should try Risperdal, but it didn't work either.
- Effexor Not Working
- I didn't do well on the Effexor either, side effects outweighed helpfulness.
- Art Working / Worked
Open Self-Injury
Not much of a story to tell. . . I've been doing things to injure myself since I was a kid.
Open Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
I have been hypoglycemic since I was a kid, but when I started my disordered eating patterns at age 15, it went away. Now that I'm trying to recover and eat normally, it's coming back, and I'm frustrated.
Open Family & Friends of Bipolar
My best friend has bipolar, as well as several of the children I work with.
Open Health Care Reform
There are so many things wrong with health care-- it definitely needs reforming
