    • About Me

      Hubby and I are differently-abled. Sorry i refuse to say disabled because I am not! Married 28 years this year (2008) and no kids except a very rotten min pin named Katie! We are both Christians and we love life even when it isn't a lot of fun! I survived at age 4 when the doctors had told my parents I would not live to see 5. Lost my mom when i was 9 and was molested that same year by a neighbor. I also managed to live through a kidnap and rape and there are only two of us who survived this mans assaults on several women. I also came through a very violent first marriage. I just live each day the best I can and deal day to day with the emotional and physical issues.

      We call ourselves the sew n' sews because we both do cross stitch. He does stamped, I do counted. Plus we do lots of other hobbies. Love to read and I love music! I used to sing in church choir, I am an alto. Now I sing here at home just because I can! MOTTO: You don't always have a choice what happens to you in life, but you do have a choice in how you react to it.

    • Close Gastritis

      I was diagnosed with chronic gastritis in January of 2007. I can't find much info at all on it. I am on treatment and have a very limited diet, but still sometimes have flair ups.

      Treatments

      Dietary Modification Working / Worked
      It works pretty good. Still at time have trouble eating or a flair up of pain and vomiting and diarrea. I can not even take any pain meds over the counter for my migranes as it will cause a flair up.
      Tagamet Working / Worked
      Seems to help a little.
    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      Diagnosed with bi polar a few years ago. i have been terrified of people all my life. I also have anxiety and panic

      Treatments

      Risperdal Somewhat Helpful
      Did help a bit with sleeping.
      Seroquel Not Working
      I had to quit taking it as it made my blood sugar elevate and caused a lot of weight gain.
      Neurontin Working / Worked
      It at least allows me to sleep a bit more.
    • Open Migraine Headaches

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
      this works the best!
      Excedrin Working / Worked
      This worked for me but i can no longer take it because of my gastritis.
    • Open Chronic Pain

      I suffer a lot of pain all over. Some from injuries of the past and some from illnesses.

      Treatments

      Heat Somewhat Helpful
      gives a bit of relief
      Neurontin Working / Worked
      it eases the pain a bit.
    • Open Anxiety

      I have suffered from anxiety for years. I have always been very anxcious around people.

      Treatments

      BuSpar Not Working
      It never really helped so I no longer take it.
      Paxil Not Working
      It made my mania worse.
    • Open Panic Attacks

      I suffer from panic attacks when around people or if I have to leave my home very much.

      Treatments

      Klonopin Working / Worked
      This helps the best if I avoid situations that aggrevate the panic.
    • Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

      I suffered abuse as a child including molestation by a neighbor and some physical abuse from my dad after mom died. I was also kidnapped as a teenager, tortured, run over and left for dead. i am one of only two women who survived this man's attacks.

      Treatments

      Abuse Counseling Somewhat Helpful
      It helped a little but seemed to cause more trouble than it was worth.
      Forgiveness Working / Worked
      I have decided to just let go of it and let God deal with it.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Still a work in progress but it helps.

      Developed rosasea in my late 20's. Had severe flair ups in my early 30's and now it seems to be fairly calm with just minor flairs.

      Treatments

      Erythromycin Working / Worked
      it really settled things down but I had to use it for 6 months!
      MetroGel Working / Worked
      it helped some
      Eucerin Working / Worked
      I got some free samples of 4 of their products and they really work well! The mositurizer has sunblock in it.
