    • About Me

      Soon to be college graduate! I have two older brothers. They both have kids, I have 1 niece and 2 nephews, one of which didn't make it. My s-i-ls are both pregnant, one is due 8.27.07 and the other is due 3.15.07. I am so excited to hold a baby in my arms again. I have a great boyfriend who supports me and is my rock. Without him I don't know what I would do. I will be moving home soon and strangely enough I'm ready for that! Mostly I'm a big geek but I'm ok with that. I can't wait for the final Harry Potter book to come out! There are a bunch of geeky movies I can't wait to see either like TMNT, SpiderMan 3, Pirates 3...just to name a few! I can promise I'll be dressed as a Pirate for that movie release! lol

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I have been suffering from depression since my Grandma died almost 2 years ago. At least thats when I started feeling it but I think it could have been 4 years ago when I was diagnosed with endometriosis. A year after my Grandma died my nephew was born on her birthday and died 10 days later unexpectedly. Before his death I was feeling better but when he died it was like my Grandma died all over again.

      Treatments

      Effexor Somewhat Helpful
      Prozac Not Working
      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      This is what I'm on now and its working the best but I still have depression symtoms like low sex drive, crying all the time, and "bad days."
    • Close Bereavement

      I've had a hard time letting anyone who has died in my family go. Resently it was my Grandma almost two years ago and then my baby nephew who was born on her birthday last July died 10 days later. It has brought out my depression and makes me worry and cry and dream.

      Treatments

      Crying Somewhat Helpful
      it use to be every day now its down to once or twice a week.
      Grief Counseling Somewhat Helpful
      I went twice but since I'm in school and don't have a lot of free time I had to stop going.
      Prayer Working / Worked
      I pray and talk to them almost everyday.
    • Open Endometriosis

      I was diagnosed October 2003, my freshman year of college. I had a laboroscipy that December. They put me on the patch right way and a month later I was still in so much pain it was keeping me from classes. He then put me on the Lupron shot, which is putting your body though menopause. That was just crazy! I have been on Seasonquic for over a year now and I love it. My insureance doesn't cover it but my doctor tries to give me free samples when he has them.

      Treatments

      Lupron Working / Worked
      I haven't had pain since.But I was like a crazy person! At 18 being in menopause was the strangest thing to put my body through.
      Surgery Working / Worked
      I was in pain for a month afterward but I think over all it has worked well. In my last catscan they couldn't see any endo!
      Extended-Cycle Birth Control Working / Worked
      Not having my period often is great! No real pain like before and shorter lighter periods!
    • Open Environmental Allergies
      Type of allergy: Dust

      I hate my allergies! My shots are doing good tho! I'm allergic to dust, grass, dogs, and cochroaches. My only problem is that I still get really bad sinus infections. :(

    • Open Stress Management

      I'm always stressed out unless I feel depressed cuz then I don't care about anything. I stress about strange things, I don't stress about school like most of my friends I stress about my family and holidays and if my bf is upset with me (when he never is).

    • Open Hemorrhoids
