    • About Me

      Greetings to ALL... I'm 54 and Disabled. I have 3 sons ~ not a day goes by where I find another grey hair just by thinking of them! Married for 23 years; most of it was abusive as he learned to love alcohol & drugs more. "Live" with many health problems but now understanding by living alone...I feel a lot better than previous years!

      Treatments

      NovoLog Somewhat Helpful
    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Depression is one of many maladies I have. I'm early stages Leukemia, Diabetic, Chronic pain after ten surgeries to my back & neck. Had my spleen removed for no good reason; the doc couldn't figure out my blood levels...so took the spleen leaving me with poor immune system, I have so much nerve damage & numbness. Can barely walk

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Somewhat Helpful
      Been on anti-depressants since 2000. Cymbalta is the 2nd I've tried. Started out taking 30mg and now take 90mg. Wish it worked better...
    • Open Chronic Pain

      I've had ten surgeries to my Lumbar and Cervical Spine. The Neurosurgeon did a "Ooops" with the first surgery leaving me worse and in need of more surgeries. I suffer from chronic pain from head to toe.

      Treatments

      Morphine Somewhat Helpful
      Currently taking 6 - 60mg. a day. My spine keeps degenerating at a rapid pace that nothing eases the pain. Mentally I want to do something. Frustrated
    • Open Military Families

      My youngest son,25, is currently in Iraq..his second tour. He has 2 Purple Hearts from injuries rec'd in battle. He has a 90% hearing loss & much schrapnal (sp?) in his leg. The damage to his ears has been causing and will continue to cause problems such as vision loss, gait & balance disturbances and jaw problems...and he wanted to go back as he will not consider any of his injuries a failure. He loves his Country & has strong ethics. I am so very proud of him and miss him so much!

    • Open Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML)

      Many years left undiagnosed. Had a splenectomy because of dangerously low platelets. Infusions, transfusion & finally found to be acute Leukemia.

      Treatments

      Interferon Working / Worked
      I go in for monthly phlebotomies where they take up to 2 pints of blood & toss it.
    • Open Families of Prisoners

      My 28 year old son was recently sentenced to Prison for 5-20 years. No good behavior will let him out sooner; it must be FIVE years before he can ask for Parole.

    • Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

      Dated Jekyll ~ married Hyde is best to explain 23 years of pure agony. Learned the truth after I married him and became his personal property. Physical & Mental Abuse ~ we all have an ugly story to tell. But to still be living in the agony...something is wrong with this picture.

      Treatments

      Divorce Somewhat Helpful
      Finally getting a divorce was great~but why didn't I do it sooner???! Still have the nighmares
    • Open Single Parenting

      I would like to give advise when I think it's pliable; I'm a member of many communities already and have friends who ask for advise too.

    • Open Families & Friends Of Addicts

      Mother of 3 sons. The oldest is in Prison for his alcohol & drug abuse. Luke is back in jail because of the alcohol & drugs. My youngest in Army; but drinks heavily still.

      Treatments

      Al-Anon Working / Worked
      Meetings did not work well for me. People who are in denial & speak about things they have no clue about just upset me.
      Writing Working / Worked
      I keep a journal where I write my thoughts & daily experiences with Luke. I mostly write about my pain and how to 'fix' it all.
