    • About Me

      I am originally from California, and now live out in the midwest. I have one brother, two neices, two great neices and great nephew. My Dad and I have grown closer in the last year or two. Life has been good. I have met a man who is special, helping me realize that I have a lot of self worth. I have been thru a lot. I have a lot of compassion and sensitivity for others. I have a big heart too.

    • Close Infertility
      Type: Hormonal Disorders

      I was told that I have POF many, many years. Ever since, I have felt broken as if there is this missing piece within me. I know that it really isn't true but I feel less than a woman because i cannot conceive. I feel different. I have had to deal with this alone too long. I hate going to the OB/GYN because all around me around pregnant women, who have no idea what I am going thru. That's okay. I am trying to make the best of this.

      Treatments

      Evista Working / Worked
      I have had bone scans in the past and was diagnosed with osteopenia. Fossamx did not work because I would get so sick to my stomach
    • Open Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)

      I have been dealing with low blood sugar for a while. I know I don't good, and don't eat enough but at the same time am having a very hard time getting myself motivated enough to make something for myself to eat. So, because of that- I get tired easily and light headed. It's my own fault. I have lost a lot of weight in the past couple of mos. I also have a hormonal imbalance, and do know if that has anything to do with it.

      Treatments

      Pataday Not Working
    • Open Asthma
      Type: Adult Asthma

      I have had asthma for five years now. My Dad has emphysema. When it gets real humid, I try to stay inside so I breathe better. It's the pits, but it's better than the alternative. I take Advair and Albuerol. I am so thankful for that too.

      Treatments

      Advair Working / Worked
      Albuterol Working / Worked
      these two treatments work well with me.
      Inhaler Working / Worked
    • Open Arthritis

      I have arthritis for some time now. I have arthritis in my wrists and knees. It sometimes, creeps up on me when I least expect it. I need to do more exercises for it, but don't. Take Care

      Treatments

      Naproxen Somewhat Helpful
    • Open ADHD / ADD

      I was diagnosed with severe ADHD. I think it's a challenge but there is support out there and medicine that does help.

      Treatments

      This has been the best add med for me.
