Close Chronic Pain
I've had 2 spinal fusions and now live with a metal plate and 6 screws in my neck. I deal with chronic pain on a daily basis. It affects me everyday. I have my good days and my bad days. Want to know more just ask.

Close Hypothyroidism
I had an overactive Thyroid that I had to drink radioactive iodine for back in 1988. Since then getting my tsh levels correct has been a pain . It's amazing how much your thryoid can screw up your life.
Treatments
- Synthroid Working / Worked
- I use Levothryroxine and have been for over20 years. As long as you take your medicine the way your suppose to, you shouldn't have any problems. But be aware that the climate does afftect you and that's something the doctors tend not to tell you.
- Radioactive Iodine Working / Worked
- I was radioactive for 3 days. Couldnt go into a bank without setting off alarms. It tasted just like water. No my thyroid gland is dead and I have to be on thyroid meds the rest of my life. Dont miss any does people....after the 3rd missed dose your brain will start to swell. Been there done that....not a fun thing to have happen.
Open COPD & Emphysema
I was diagnose with COPD with Chronic Bronchitis. Part of this is caused from smoking. Another part is caused by lung damage from pnemonia when I was 6 mths old. Oh, and lets not forget to throw asthma on top of it all.
Treatments
- Albuterol Working / Worked
- Fast acting inhaler, use as needed
- Combivent Working / Worked
- steriod inhaler that I use when I am really having trouble breathing, it opens the passageways.
- Vicks VapoRub Working / Worked
- I use to rub on my chest when I have a severe cold and am really having trouble breathing. It definately helps.

I suffer from General Anxiety Disorder along with Panic Attacks. It's horrible when you have an attack, it just completely overwhelms you.
Treatments
