    • Hug

      From bobinmaine March 6

      My wife had endo since she was a kid which resulted in painful periods which lasted weeks instead of days. After a dozen doctors through the years, it was finally diagnosed. My heart goes out to you. My wife eventually had a partial hysterectomy (just her Uterous was removed) and it was done endoscpically so she was out of the hospital in a day. She was 30 at the time this was done. She is happy as hell now! no more periods and no more pain. I'll be happy discuss more about it if you like. Have a great weekend hun.........Bob

    • Close Endometriosis

      ive been dealing with severe pain since i was in fifth grade but wasnt diagnosed with endo until 2004. i have had 2 surgeries and still deal with day to day pain. its so hard not having friends and family who truly understand what im going through

      Treatments

      Lupron Not Working
      helped with the pain but the side effects were not worth it. i still deal with side effects from it to this day
      Surgery Somewhat Helpful
      first surgery gave me some comfort but not for long. second surgery and im in no less pain than when i first went in
    • Close Epilepsy & Seizures

      superbowl sunday of 2006 i had my first seizure. thankfully enough i was lying in bed with my mom watching a movie. while they did the EEG i had another minor seizure but didnt know it. a week later at my house with my mom there again i was on the couch and lost feeling in my hands and feet and my vision went. it was the scariest thing that i have ever been through. we now know it is epilepsy. im just trying to find others who can help me understand what im going through

      Treatments

      im taking this for sleep and anxiety. helps greatly
    • Open Bipolar Disorder

      my parents used to just tell me i was moody. i spent alot of my earlier years so miserable with myself, i turned to using to try to make the pain go away. i always felt like i was on some emotional rollercoaster. one minute im happy the next im either biting someones head off or crying about something. the doctor had me on so many med's i didnt know if i was coming or going half the time. ive been off med's since i was diagnosed with epilepsy but still have my moments

      Treatments

      Depakote Somewhat Helpful
      on depakote ER for epilepsy.
      Lexapro Not Working

    • Open Anxiety

      i always had trouble sleeping. i used to think it was just insomnia until i talked to my doctor. its never been " i just cant sleep" instead i lay in bed worrying about everything and replaying the day over in my head. i stress over things i cannot change and the things i wish i could. im always getting stressed out to the point where i feel i have no control.

      Treatments

      Ativan Somewhat Helpful
      kinda helped but i found i was getting too used to it and the doctor had to keep upping my dose or it wouldnt work
      Klonopin Working / Worked
      very helpful, dont feel dependent on it, helps with my restless leg syndrome as well and the sleep
      Lexapro Not Working
      Paxil Not Working
      had to stop taking, gave me wicked stomach pains
    • Open Eating Disorders

      ive always had an issue seeing myself as others have seen me. its like i look through this distorted mirror and that's just how it is. ive always hated the way i looked and had issues with eating disorders during my junior and high school years. ive recently been diagnosed with epilepsy and have gained 30lbs. for a girl that has been 95lbs her entire life this was quite a change. all i hear is how much better everyone thinks i look but i still see this person who just looks wrong

    • Open Financial Challenges

      i seem to always be barely getting by. i spend money i dont have, champagne taste on a beer budget. i live paycheck to paycheck and it is so hard. i pay all my bills on time and never have anything left for myself.being broke all the time sucks. i have a ton of health problems and medical bills are killing me. im just tired of always being behind

    • Open Restless Legs Syndrome

      i dont exactly remember when it started but its been going on for sometime. it feels like someone is squeezing my knees and it shoots down into my ankles. at first my mom thought i was faking it (she thought i came up with restless leg on my own)until she talked to girls at her work that had it. it sucks being kept awake at night cuz your legs hurt so bad. i would give anything to make it stop

      Treatments

      Clonazepam Working / Worked
      so far so good. doctor figured since this works for anxiety i could kill 2 birds with 1 stone instead of taking 2 differnt meds for legs and anxiety.
      Sinemet Working / Worked
      didnt work
    • Open Cocaine Addiction & Recovery

      from the time i was a teenager i just wanted to make things seem easier. instead of dealing with things head on, getting high was my escape. coke was the only thing i couldnt control. i was surrounded by people who did it but i soon realized alot of them werent as bad as me. i almost died a few times and it still never stopped me. it will be one year clean in may and im hoping to hang on and keep it that way

    • Open Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Friend

      my friend commited suicide sunday. its not like this is the first time i have lost a friend be it to drugs, accident, health problems or by their own hand but it doesnt make it any easier. on top of this i have to deal with a mother who has no compassion for anyone or anything and it just makes grieving worse.

      Treatments

      Crying Working / Worked
      sometimes you just cant help it, i try to not cry in front of people but you can only hold things in so long.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      i am thankful to have such amazing friends who are here for me, my ups and my downs. it makes going through the hard times a little bit easier
