    • About Me

      I work as a CNA helping people affected by MS. I love painting, collecting art, walking my dog and cuddling with my husband! I believe that you should be the change you want to see in the world, and I work hard to constantly improve and challenge myself.

    • Close Hepatitis C

      I was born with hep C. My mother was infected with type 1a Hep C while she underwent a blood transfusion. We didn't find this out until I started to feel sick when I was 10 yrs old. The yellow tint to my skin tipped off the doctor. My childhood fell apart after that. Since then I was tested negative and thought I was cured only to find out at 18, that the virus returned. I attempted treatment the next year, but it made my viral level go up instead of down. I'm now 21.

      Treatments

      Interferon, pegylated Not Working
      I got horribly sick, and lost 15 pounds in less than a month. I retested and found that my viral level almost doubled instead of got better!
      Goji Berries Too Soon to Tell
      My mother in law insists it will help me, but im skeptical.
    • Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

      I went from having a house and Christmases to being homeless in a matter of months, due to finding out that my mother and I both had a terminal illness. My mother wasn't able to cope and I ended up raising myself and taking care of my mom for the last 10 years while she has suffered different kinds of mental disorders.

      Treatments

      Art Working / Worked
      It helps me mellow out, and focus on my abilities.
      Effexor Somewhat Helpful
      It worked for a while, but the anxiety is still stong.
      Supportive Care Somewhat Helpful
      Talking things out always helps. But it doesn't take my mother out of my life...
    • Open Self-Injury

      I have been suffering from SI since I was 10 years old. Due to PTSD and the fact that I have a terminal illness. I found that SI made me feel better. I like to make wounds and then watch them heal, it makes me feel hopeful somehow.

      Treatments

      Effexor Somewhat Helpful
      It reduced my anxiety and other symptoms of PTSD, but doesn't take away the temptation of my skin.
