    • About Me

      I live in Northern New Mexico. I am a Christian. I love animals and have two dogs, a blue heeler named Beau and a Boxer mix puppy named Sandy. I think they keep me going. I suffer from Fibromyagia, arthritis and chronic depression. I am an animal lover, and live in the country where I see many animals and that makes me happy. I recently left a emotionally and verbally abusive marriage. I am a brand new woman. I am about to begin the process of a divorce.

    • Interests

      I am very involved in my Church, in fact my ex-husband and I founded our little church. It is a cowboy church in New Mexico. We have only about 15 members. I enjoy singing, and sing in a gospel band called "God only knows". I am even learning to write songs for the first time in my life.

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 1987, when the disorder was still much more misunderstood even than it is now. I also have arthritis and clincal depression. I live in constant pain. My husband does not understand my problems and gets angry with me when I can't do something or even if I mention that I hurt. That only adds to the problems.

      Treatments

      Acupuncture Not Working
      I tried it many years ago and really can't remember if it helped
      Aqua Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      Love it, but it doesn't last long enough
      Cymbalta Not Working
      I saw no difference and my doctor discontinued the medication and opted for effexor
      Effexor Somewhat Helpful
      I don't see much difference
      Elavil Not Working
      did nothing at all
      Guaifenesin Not Working
      did not notice any difference
      Neurontin Working / Worked
      works better than anything I have tried. It takes the edge off the pain
      TENS Somewhat Helpful
      It helps some, actually more than most things I've tried.
      Ultram Not Working
      I don't think my doctor left me on it long enough for me to see any real benefit. It made me dizzy and very tired.
    • Close Arthritis

      I have both Fibromyalgia and Osteoarthritis of the spine, as well as spinal stenosis. I am in constant pain as a result. I have not found much that helps.

      Treatments

      Glucosamine/Chondroitin Not Working
      I saw no difference
      Ibuprofen Somewhat Helpful
      Same as with Tylenol, minor help but can't take with Dolobid
      Tylenol Somewhat Helpful
      It seems to take the edge off, but I am not supposed to take it with my prescription Dolobid
    • Open Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I am 50 years old and for the first 40 years of my life, I weighed 100 pounds or less. I hit 40 had a hysterectomy and put on 50 pounds, I would like to lose at least 25 pounds

      Treatments

      Curves Working / Worked
      Curves worked great, but I moved to a place where there isn't one and somehow adopted a more sedentary life and now wish I could get back to it.
      Eating Healthier Foods Somewhat Helpful
      I do ok if I stick to it, but I tent to "fall off the wagon"
      Eat Less Not Working
      I have never been a big eater
      Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
      Because of physical limitations I am not able to exercise as I would like to

      The pain is too bad to sleep

      like taking a very expensive aspirin, and just as temporary

      At least it makes me feel better temporarily
      Ibuprofen Somewhat Helpful
      temporary relief
      Physical Therapy Considering
      It has never helped me before
    • Open Asthma
      Type: Adult Asthma

      I am newly dx with asthma. It was caused by long term smoke inhalation because my husband insisted on using a woodstove that was not properly sealed
