Close Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
I have always as long as I remember having become "a woman" had excessive hair on my chin, side burns, inner thighs, etc. and have had a problem with my weight even though I played lots of sports in high school. After high school I had a problem with high blood pressure. I have a friend that has PCOS who told me to get checked out for it and lo and behold I had PCOS too.
Treatments
- Metformin Too Soon to Tell
- I've just recently been diagnosed with PCOS and only started taking the medication for one week now. The only change I can see now is that I have more energy. The only side effect I experienced was a slight case of diarrhea for a day.
- Oral Contraceptives Too Soon to Tell
- I have only been taking the loestrin for 3 days now.
- Walking Somewhat Helpful
- It is somewhat helping to go walking twice a day everyday. You do feel a little fatigue but your metabolism gets a little boost and you loose weight. I've lost 10 pounds since I started the medication the doctor just prescribed for me and just before that I would gain/loose 3-5 every other week
Close Asthma
Type: OtherI've have asthma since I was a kid and it would come on when I would get physically active, sick, and just when it felt like.
Treatments
- Advair Not Working
- I took advair for almost a year and I still had the same problems with my asthma as if I werent on the medication. One side effect that also made me stop the medication is that I heard it could cause sudden death.
- Albuterol Working / Worked
- This is the only med that works. The only side effect I get is jitters.
- Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
- When I have a mild attack I use breathing exercise instead of the albuterol so that I dont become immune and it works.
Open Breakups & Divorce
My fiance and I had a harsh break up and have been through a lot we are now trying to work things out and well I'm the one having a hard time giving him another chance without the insecurities and all that other stuff that comes with trying to mend a torn relationship.
Treatments
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- A lot of the situations we've been through the talking have worked but not for all...thats why I'm here.
Open Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Treatments
- Rape Counseling Too Soon to Tell
- I just had a session to start a relationship with my therapist.
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- Whenever I have something to share I talk it out with my cousin (whom I'm very close with) and she is my shoulder to cry on and ears to listen to me.
Open Cervical Cancer
I just found out I am in stage one of four and dont know much else about my situation except that I will undergo cryosurgery/cryotherapy on april 9, 2008.
Treatments
- Colposcopy Working / Worked
- Diagnosed that I had precancerous cells, which led to a cervical biopsy and uterin biopsy. With resulted in me finding out that I am in stage one.
Open Rape
Raped by an ex-boyfriend
Treatments
- Rape Counseling Too Soon to Tell
- Just had first session
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- Sometimes it calms and comforts me
Open Depression
After I was raped I fell into a depression that I didnt know about until after trying to get help
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
- Only went to one session so far.
- Writing Working / Worked
- When I need to relieve my mind of the crazyness writing helps give me "someone to talk to and listen to me"
Open Physical & Emotional Abuse
I have physically and emotional abused as a child, adolescent, and some of my adult years by my father and some other family members
Treatments
