    • Close Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Partner/Spouse

      I lost my husband of 40 yrs.to cancer. March 3, 2008 will mark two years. It has been really hard for me lately to do anything, the sadness is overwhelming. I hope to find some comfort in this support group.

      Treatments

      Crying Somewhat Helpful
      it worked for a few weeks.
      Music Somewhat Helpful
      it calms my spirit
      Prayer Somewhat Helpful
      When I go to church it does help me cope. I think I need to pray more.
    • Close Sarcoidosis

      I have had Sarcoidosis for 9 years. Both of my lungs are highly effected. I have been through many battles with this disease. I have had uvitis in my eyes. I recenly moved to the Houston TX area and found on of the best Rheumys I have ever been to. he is very knowledgeable about Sarcoidosis. I told him I was vey impressed, which I was. I actually think there is hope with this doctor.

      Treatments

      Effexor Working / Worked
      Helped with the pain I had in joints.
      Prednisone Not Working
      Terrible! Gained weight and it made me very irratible. I was taking 60 MG a day for about a year. it did not help with sarcoidosis, but it help me breathe.
    • Open Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis

      Just last week I had a stomach scope and they told me the biopsy did show some Crohn cells. I am not under any treatment now for the Crohns. Still taking Protimax 40 fo my inflamed stomach. Some days I think it is getting better and then other days I feel it is starting all over again

    • Open Breast Cancer
      Stage: I (T1 N0)

      I developed breast cancer in January 2002. I was planning my chemo and shockingly We found that my husband had a rare cancer that had mastised to his liver. I did not take my treatments but I did take the medication, Arimidex. I am still cancer free after 6 yrs. However, my husband passed away in March 2006. I am thankful for everyday God has given me.

      Treatments

      Arimidex Working / Worked
      It has worked so far. I am not taking it after the 5 yrs, which is nice, It made my joints hurt and seem to make my body hold fluid. I am not complaining. I am thankful.
      Mastectomy Working / Worked
      They took the left breast and all the lymph nodes. It was not a painful surgery..just painful to the heart.
      Surgery Working / Worked
      It is working. I wish I have had the reconstruction surgery but right now I cannot afford it. Maybe one day.
    • Open Depression Supporters

      My husband died 2 yrs ago. I seems since he died, our friends have disappeared. Life as I knew it has stopped. I have on and off depression and I think it is brought on by loneliness.

      Treatments

      Crying Not Working
      It does not make me feel good to cry.
      Effexor Not Working
      It seems my antidepressant is not working. I told my doctor I was depressed and he suggested going to a psychiatrist. He had no suggestion for me. I have a doctor that does not like to prescribe meds he likes to send his patients to specialist. I am quiet tired of this run around. It is enough to be depressed.
