About Me
Hello, I guess the first thing I should say, is that I believe in the power of prayer. The next thing is that this website is a true blessing for all of us. It has helped me in many ways and it can for you too. I am not strong right now, but working on it...new steroid set up from my doctor, trying to get over a depression....fighting off panic attacks, and financial woes, soon should be over. I still have to deal with Medicade and finding a new place to live. But, I hope it will be a decent one. All in due time I guess, , but I still get scared. I have great faith in God, but I am not a religious person, I don't beieve in churches, etc. like that, but I sure do believe in prayers and the Creator. Trust and you shall have blessings come to you too.

Close COPD & Emphysema
It was 2 yrs ago I got ill and it's gone down hill ever since. The doctor misdiagnosed me, I lost over 35 lbs in 6 days, and am still struggling to come back to weight. I am weak now and can't do the laundry/cleaning,hardly anything. I can drive, but can't walk to the car in the cold. This is all a shock to me, in many ways.
Treatments
- Advair Working / Worked
- This is wonderful, just recently, like 3or 4 wks ago, raised to 500/50 level, I can breath again. I'm not certain but I shake a lot, is this the steroid part ofit??
- Albuterol Working / Worked
- It can help me at times, but is failing now that its Proventol.
- Spiriva Working / Worked
- This seems to help me a lot. No real side effects that I know of.
- Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
- we often feel overwhelmed by what we are facing or going thru. this helps, altho we have to do it in a "special way" it does help us. The point being, do not think that we cannot breath, but rather that we need to 'control' the way we breath.
- Prayer Working / Worked
- I have had prayers answered for help from others when I was so low I almost gave up.
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI have suffered on and off over the years. It's alwasy triggered by stress..which I am under now. I find that I have done some really strange things while in the depressions.
Treatments
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- bad news, I felt zombied out. I finally took myself off of it, slowly!
- Talking Working / Worked
- Id have to say talking about how I feltfeel at the time. It focused on me but it was needed to face facts.
- Prayer Working / Worked
- When I get so low, I pray as soon as I can, and it appears to ease it almost immediately.
Open Financial Challenges
I am 58 and my health is failing fast, in many ways. I may wind up on SSI but am trying to hold onto a job that "may" just hold onto me for at least a couple years yet. I'm missing a lot of work, and am praying that I can move this summer. I need to get a place that is cheaper than where I live now, it's more than I will be able to afford, but there really isn't any place cheaper around me here.
Treatments
- Budgeting Working / Worked
- still doing it, it does work, but sometimes, I'm just not able to,,just not enuf to meet the budget
- Cut Up Credit Cards Working / Worked
- had to, I had to file a BK
- Debt Consolidation Not Working
- I called, tried a "scam group that got me for $3000. The others didnt' help at all, and I couldnt' afford them.
- Earn Money Working / Worked
- I've been working all along..haven't been able to work a 2nd job for a long time due to my COPD
- Filing for Bankruptcy Working / Worked
- NO choice, but it did work.
- Holding a Garage Sale Somewhat Helpful
- I'm in a condo comples, not allowed to do, but a friend and I did it for a summer, on and off when she needed to. that's over
Open Panic Attacks
I find myself panicking a bit less being on alprozalam, but I still get them. I think, there is some depression at times too. My bro has this also, but for me, bad since I found out I have COPD. I just need advise and friends here, badly, I know. Help please. Thank you, and God bless you.
Treatments
- Xanax Working / Worked
- slow to start at times, but I know it's coming so, I just calm myself and wait, it's ok. No side effects that I can tell.
