About Me
I was diagnosed w/BP in 2006, obviously have had it much longer then that. There are days that I am afraid that it is getting worse, or that it is morphing into other joyous illness's. I come here to find others with similar pains and ideas. Here is the place where we all come to make sure that those silly thoughts really are not that silly....just kind of silly!!

The Velvet Underground have, are, and likely always will be one of the best bands that have ever been?
And if you disagree, that is okay, that …

Close Bipolar Disorder
Bi-Polar my whole life, "diagnosed" in November of 2006 I have tried multiple medications and after a year I think we may have found a "leveling off", at least I hope? ok we're lessening the Zoloft and things are looking up...so far!
Treatments
- Abilify Not Working
- No luck!
- Depakote Somewhat Helpful
- seemed to work for a little while, but not for too long.
- Lamictal Not Working
- One of the first ones I tried. No luck!
- Lithium Not Working
- The most horrible experience I have ever had on any medication.
- Meditation Working / Worked
- This helps when things start to go too fast and I need to slow down. I think this may be one of the best things I can do? I have tried so many medications over the last year and a half that I cannot even remember which ones I have or havent tried.
- Seroquel Somewhat Helpful
- Slept way too much, seemed to work a bit though?
- Tegretol Working / Worked
- So far, so Good! Still working....
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- Don't really remember too much about this one?
- Zoloft Working / Worked
- This seems to be working but As I said above, we lessened the dosage and things are looking up, literally!! yahoo, C'mon girls....lol
Close Breakups & Divorce
Currently going thru Divorce. One of the main reasons for the divorce was my Bi-Polar. I was in a depressive state for almost a year and I just couldn't shake it. Ironically, after we seperated I went into the hospital, and I am finally feeling better. And now she wants the Divorce. She was verbally abusive and very manipulative. It is a good thing to be out of it!
Treatments
- Pets Working / Worked
- I took my best friend with me when I left. He has been very helpful!
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I am in therapy for Bi-Polar. We talk a little about the Divorce, but not much.
- Time Working / Worked
- Ideally the healer of all wounds!
Open Back Pain
I have herniated disc's in my lower back. They have been there for too long, and I haven't tried surgery yet? I have been taking pain killers for almost 3 years, and I cannot wait until I can stop.
Treatments
- Heat Working / Worked
- Works at times, basically just eases some pain.
- Morphine Working / Worked
- I take Kadian (up to 240mg's per day) for long term and regular Morphine (up to 90-120 mgs per day) for short term pain. If you take any of these you already know the side effects.
- Physical Therapy Not Working
- Very little improvement.
- Stretching Somewhat Helpful
- It feels good, but does nothing for the Disc's.
- TENS Working / Worked
- This helps a little, but it kind of helps the blood flow, so it can help some?
Open Healthy Relationships
Currently going thru a Divorce. See my profile for the main reason.
Treatments
- Couples Counseling Not Working
- She stopped it and refused to participate.
- Patience Not Working
- It still ended in Divorce.
Open Pet Bereavement
I am sitting here watching Cancer eat away at my best friend. This is the 6th time he has had it, and this is the one that we couldn't operate on. It is so difficult, his personality is almost as usual, but the tumor keeps growing. So it is just a matter of time...
