    • About Me

      Pic above is 10yrs old 42yr old SAHM of 2 of 9yr DD & 7yr DS. Married for 2yrs but together for 13. I had a brain aneurysm 3yrs ago and suffered alot of damage and on going problems. Diagnoised with bi-polar 2yrs ago. I have seizures, TMi's, Parkenson's, little short term memory. Between the bi-polar & depression I feel like I am constantly fighting the demons inside me. I am a cutter. During the winter is was easy to hide. The relief I get when I make that cut is undescribable, instant relief. But now with warm weather and short sleeves I am really struggling to cope with everyday life.

      Thanks, I needed a hug today ... It's the 2 month anniversary of his death and my coping mechanism today has been hypo-mania. Yep, scaring everybody with my jumpy behavior, racing speech and being so diametrically opposite of my recent personality.

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I became Bi-Polar following a brain aneurysm in 2005. I worked in a pharmacy for 11yrs and thought all of these rx's for Bi-Polar are BS. How can you not control your emotions? Now I know 1st hand nad it is awful. I hate myself 97% of the time and my family & friends live on the edge with me 100% of the time. Really want to learn moreabout this and what is all out there to help me

      Treatments

    • Close Aneurysms

      In 2005 I had a brain aneurysm. Lost most of the function on left side of brain. I hate not being who I was 3yrs ago.

      Treatments

      It corrected the bleeding problem. But my brain bleed for too long resulting in alot of damage to left side of brain. I have had multiple strokes.
    • Open Shingles

      I had my 1st bout of shingles a year ago and have had 2 more since then. Just trying to understand this disease

      Treatments

      Valtrex Somewhat Helpful
      The Valtrex cleared it up but the nerve pain left behind is crazy sometimes
    • Open Migraine Headaches

      I suffer from migranes that last weeks. I had a brain aneurysn in 2005 and a VP Shunt put in 05 also. My neurogist cannot figure out what triggers my migranes. She has tried me every med but the only thing that gives me relief are Demerol IV's

      Treatments

      Did not help
      Maxalt Not Working
      Made me sick
      Relpax Not Working
      Did not work
