    • About Me

      I am a full time wife and mother. I also do odd jobs and I am a care giver to my parents. My parents just celebrated 55 yrs of marriage. They are fun parents. They have raised three kids who are honest, never been in jail and enjoy being with their family. I have taken up photography and I crazy about making photo scrapbooks. I think that you should smile for no reason what so ever. People will wonder what you have been doing. Laughter should fill your heart & say I LOVE YOU

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      Around the time I turned 40, I finally got treatment for ADHD and my doc kept bringing up that he thought I was BP. I was in denial but I trusted him and we started treatment on a new med. I didn't like the side effects so we tried another. I am now on a med for my BP, ADHD and anxiety. I can tell the BP med is helping with my anxiety. My husband does not believe that I need to be on my meds. This is upsetting to me that he does not understand what life is like for me without my meds.

      Treatments

      Geodon Somewhat Helpful
      put weight on me which just depressed me more.
      Symbyax Not Working
      put on weight and made me feel flat.
      Zyprexa Working / Worked
      Working very well. Just the cost is outragous, thank God for insurance.
    • Close ADHD / ADD

      I did not start treatment until I was about 40. It made the sun come out. I can go without my meds, but I stay on them otherwise I feel depressed, I feel like a gray cloud is over my head. I can complete projects and it makes me feel good. I wish they knew about adhd when I was a kid. It has made a huge difference knowing I am ADHD and I have meds to help. my son has add as well.

      Treatments

      Dexedrine Working / Worked
      Once I started taking it, instantly I felt better. I can do things that I never could finish before.
      Music Working / Worked
      music makes me move and just makes me happy.
      Strattera Not Working
      Just did not work for me.
    • Open Dyslexia

      I have dyslexia. Not only do I read backwards, I take part of one word and add it to another word and make up words. It drives me crazy. I also have a tendency to speak backward ie: tennis pools and swimming courts. I wont think twice about it however the listener gets confused. At times it prevents me from reading certain text because I have trouble keeping the story straight. My friends have learned to figure out what I mean when I change the words around.

    • Open Parenting Teenagers (12-18)

      i have a 15 almost 16 yr old,  I just got 3 letters from school  because of his cutting school,  He has ADD and is in IEP special ed class.  He has no homework because the teachers know it won;t come back;  He has been suspended for giving a kid a cigarette rather than throw them away.  I had to call the bike shop where he hangs out and told the owner that if he shows up before school to kick him out of the store.  His father and I get along really well.  He had a talk with him this week

      Treatments

      Patience Too Soon to Tell
      since I got the letters from school, which all the punishments he will get i dont know how it will go.
      Concerta Working / Worked
      He does not want to take the med and I dont want to force it on him.
    • Open Caregivers

      I have been caring for my parents for the last several years.  Daddy has sever medical problems and Mother has back and joint issues.  My husband just lost his vision and we will know tomorrow if he will have surgery.  My first job was in a doctors office so it has kept with me.

      Treatments

      Walking Working / Worked
      taking short but frequent walks during the day helps.
      Xanax Working / Worked
      Works very well when things get real stessful.
