    Goal Completed on Dec 31, 08
  • Support Groups

    • Close Muscular Dystrophies

      I started this support group. The reason I did this as a homehealth for many years and caring for those with MD, I realized anyone who deals with this disease no matter who needs the emotional support from others. Everyone will have a difference experience and I hope it will benifit all.

    • Close Sleep Apnea

      Hi I am Marg. I belong to the allergy plus other support groups. I have had sleep apnea for years but diagnosised in 2005.

      Treatments

      CPAP Working / Worked
      I am on disability. I worked for years as a homehealth aide. I went on disability after a surgery. I also have seizures,sleep apnea,high blood pressure,allergies plu many other things.
      Lose Weight Working / Worked
      When working I became extremely over wieght. The extra weight made breathing difficult. Also increased edmea,plus caused other complication physically.
    • Open Environmental Allergies
      Type of allergy: Other

      I'm Marg who has many medical issues. The most problematic are allergies, GERD,asthma, plus more. I also am a parent of an adult special needs individual.

      Treatments

      Allegra Working / Worked
      I take allegra and allegra alternating nights. This treatment has been the best in controlling my allergies. No side effects.
      Allergy Shots Working / Worked
      They have worked great. Many years of getting them. I have finally gone from chronic bronichal asthma to mild asthma. My shots are monthly and am on maintance. I highly recommend the anyone.
      Flonase Working / Worked
      Fine used for a short while but caused nose bleeds if used daily.
      Nasal Irrigation Working / Worked
      Saline spray works the best when I need to use a nasal spray. Does not bother the nasal membranes to much. When I am extremely dry will help as well as when I am extremely runny. I only use as needed.
      Rhinocort AQ Working / Worked
      Only on for a short time. Caused noe bleeds.
      Singulair Working / Worked
      Have taken daily for at least 3 years. It controls not only the asthma but some of the allergies. I can tell when I don't take it.
      Sudafed Working / Worked
      Worked for a short while. Ended up having an allergic reaction to it.
      Zyrtec Working / Worked
      Did not work. Side effects, caused siezures. I take one and I will have siezures for the next 2 days.
