    • About Me

      I am a full time preschool teacher, i love my two year olds! That is a blessing all in its self because with Fibromyalgia, it can be very stressful! I have been diagnosed since November of 2006 with Fibromyalgia. I also have suffered from IBS since I was 16 and I am now just trying to make my life my own, even though i feel 40 sometimes. (No offense to any 40 year olds)I just don't like having to live my life, because of something that controls me so much. But i figure if I take care of it, I can do more because I won't be in as much pain!

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I was diagnosed on November of 2006 and i had been highly sensitive to touch and other types of things for at least 3 years. However, i grew up in a household where i was made fun of for having any type of illness...so it took a long time to even think pain could be a problem. I had all 18 pressure points when diagnosed.

      Treatments

      Flexeril Working / Worked
      It works...for my fatigue and alertness...i don't know if it helps with pain so much. . . so it works. Because my doctor gave it to me to help my brain get restful sleep! I hate relying on medicine everyday but it does a great job!
    • Close Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

      When I went to my Junior prom (5 years ago this may), I wore the dress and had a blast with a group of my friends. But my stomach kept bloating more and more then it had ever before! Basically, I told my mom the next day and we went to the doctor and I was diagnosed. It eventually explained all the stomach aches and cramping sensations i had been having for 6 months prior to the tight clothing incident!

      Treatments

      Bentyl Working / Worked
      It works, but in emergenices. Otherwise I like to use Fiber!
    • Open Families & Friends Of Addicts

      My brother has struggled with all forms of addiction since i was 9 years old...that is over 11 years and he gets "better" and then the addiction is stronger then his will to be happy. It just hurts so much, i have now taken my heart and mind seperate when it comes to him.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      I just find myself avoiding this topic, so I sort of gave up.
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      It is hard to talk to the people around me, so that is why i am coming here, i don't know what is left to try or how to move from him.
    • Open Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)

      got diagnosed in august of 2008.

      Treatments

      Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
