    • Close Diabetes Type 2

      I've had type 2 diabetes since 2000. I have a difficult time finding support with my diabetes and people who understand it. Trying to lose weight as well but that is a battle with certain meds I'm taking.

      Treatments

      Actos Not Working
      I don't like it because it made me gain weight. I told my CDE that I'm going off of it. Med staff wants me to lose weight yet put me on a med that makes me gain weight?
      Byetta Working / Worked
      I just started the Byetta on 3/13/08. This stuff works....sometimes too well! I hit lows sometimes now. I asked to be put on this instead of insulin for I was told insulin will make me gain weight too. No thanks! It's hard enough to lose it on my own!!!
      Crying Working / Worked
      Does that count as a treatment? I do it a lot out of frustration or being sad.
      Glyburide Working / Worked
      Metformin Somewhat Helpful
      Hurts my stomach but doctor won't take me off of it. May be time to change doctors.
    • Close High Blood Pressure

      I've had HBP for 2 years. Probably from diabetes or stress.

      Treatments

      Cozaar Working / Worked
      Been doing really well on this medication.
    • Open Stress Management

      I tend to get stressed easily from money matters to worries over family or friends. Sometimes "stress" is my middle name. It's frustrating.

      Treatments

      Crying Working / Worked
      Seems to work as a stress reliever however there has got to be a better way to deal.
    • Open High Cholesterol

      Cholesterol was bordering on to going high so my doctor put me on Lovastatin as a preventative

      Treatments

      Mevacor Too Soon to Tell
      Just started using it.
    • Open Vegetarians & Vegans

      Considering becoming Vegan for many different reasons. My husband isn't supportive of my decision. So I need to be around others who are pro of this lifestyle and can offer me suggestions. I've learned about it some from the Holistic Health class Im taking right now. I'd like other opinions than just a class.

    • Open Pre-menstrual Syndrome (PMS)

      It's called "the curse" for a reason. I hate it and feel like it controls my life once a month.

      Treatments

      Crying Somewhat Helpful
      Crying goes along with being emotional
      Ibuprofen Somewhat Helpful
      It helps some along with heating pad on stomach.
    • Open Adoption

      I was adopted when I was 2 months old. I'm very curious how to get my records opened. However, since I was adopted in 1971, the records are closed. I think it's a human right for adopted people to know about their medical background.
