My Lord will deliver me at the perfect time. I only hope to watch my Lily girl grow up. She is my light.

    • Close Cirrhosis

      I was just diagnosed with cirrhosis stage 4 last week. I am scared to death. I beat breast cancer last year at the cost of both breasts. I can't believe I have to fight again and so soon.

      Treatments

      Lactulose Too Soon to Tell
      I am up to 2 Tbls, 3 times a day. Results are unpredictable.
      SAM-e Too Soon to Tell
      Started 9-2008.
      Milk Thistle Too Soon to Tell

    • Close Chronic Pain

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      It worked but my doc took me off because of my liver disease.
      Lidoderm Working / Worked
      Very helpful.
      Lyrica Working / Worked
      I love this stuff! I have Fibromyalgia and it really helped a lot.
      Morphine Working / Worked
      Works fairly well. I have taken this for a couple of years.
      Nerve Blocks Not Working
      I have had 4 or 5. None of them worked. Painful too!

    • Open Fibromyalgia

      I had 2 back surgeries in 2002 because of an injury several years earlier when I worked in a hospital. The pain got progressively worse. After I had surgery on my back I was better for quite a while. Then I went downhill. I have Fibro and Chronic pain in my lower back. Last year I had a bilateral Mastectomy for LCIS. Now I am being treated for NASH. I hope I can dodge a liver transplant. I pray and rely on God to get me through each day.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Not Working
      Heat Working / Worked
      I use a heating pad and a neck heat thing daily! I don't think I would survive without both.
      Lyrica Working / Worked
      This has been a blessing. I take it 3 times a day. Before Lyrica, if someone touched my back or arms it would hurt so bad. My skin hurt. My husband just didn't get it.
      Morphine Working / Worked
      I have taken MS Contin for several years at a low dose. It kept me at a tolerable pain level. Since I now have liver disease I have been changed to instant release. It works fast but wears off too quickly.
      Neurontin Not Working
      I took this a long time ago. I don't remember if it worked or why they took me off.
      TENS Somewhat Helpful
      I like the treatment. It just isn't portable and discreet enough for me. WIRE, WIRE, WIRE EVERYWHERE!
      Vitamin B12 Too Soon to Tell
      Zanaflex Working / Worked
      This is a helpful drug for me. It is also a bonus in that it helps me sleep.

    • Open Breast Cancer
      Stage: 0 (Tis)

      I had stage 0 Breast Cancer in 2006. I opted for a bilateral mastectomy because this cancer runs in our family (among other cancers). I had reconstructive surgery followed by a skin graft because part of my skin didn't heal and died. I am well now in this issue.

      Treatments

      Reconstructive Surgery Working / Worked

      I eat mostly fruits and veggies. No bread because of Celiac disease. Little meat because of Liver disease.
