Interests
My children. Reading: It's an escape. Sleeping - don't get to do it enough - insomnia gets the best of me. Advocating for my sons. Writing. So much I can say... I have alot of interests - just not a lot of energy to enjoy them.

Close Female Sexual Issues
I'm 35. Married almost 7 yrs. Have a 5 1/2 son with Autism, and a 3 1/2 son who is typical. I am exhausted, in pain, depressed, and not at all interested in sex. Even touching is hard. I need help and am scared of what has happened to my body (Really long story) that has caused these changes - aside from just everyday stress... I need help, advice, a friend...
Treatments
- Biofeedback Not Working
- Just tells me that my muscles are still weak
- Estrogen Cream Not Working
- did nothing to help me have any increase in nerve sensitivity
- Relaxation Somewhat Helpful
- First time to travel without our boys and we worked at reconnecting, physically and emotionally. Often, we both felt pressured and like teenagers - anxious, not sure what to do, fumbling around. We were both very uncomfortable.
- Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
- Talking things through with my Therapist. I want to address the issue and deal with it...become physically assertive and feel attractive again. Therapy is a much slower process Ive found.
Close Anxiety
I have always been high strung, but since the birth of my children and the diagnosis of my oldest with Autism - each day is a struggle and I find myself facing moments of extreme anxiety. Anxiety is debilitating, I hate it, it seems to make me chronically exhausted and I want it to fade away... I want to wake up alert and ready for the day.
Treatments
- Acupuncture Not Working
- my muscles just ached more.
- Ativan Considering
- Have taken in the past, and it made me excessively sleepy.
- Klonopin Somewhat Helpful
- makes me chronically tired.
- Lexapro Not Working
- Ended soon after starting
- Paxil Not Working

- Zoloft Working / Worked
- Stopped working so well after taking for more than five years.
- Acai Not Working
- Horrible. Made me very ill for a period of time. Horrible.
Open Autism / Autism Spectrum
September 2002, 56 hours of hard labor, morphine sleeps, epidurals and pitocin in mass doses, then with the help of some lovely forceps and a nice man straddling my body - finally - delivery of my baby, my first born, no word adequate to describe his affect on me. Someone else crawled on my belly and pushed him out of me. He was a perfect ball of baby - giggling, eating, smiling, loving...and developing somewhat typically with beauty and with grace. And then we were hit by a train.
