About Me
Retired from the travel industry after 20 years & owned several agencies during the last 15 years. Grandmother of 5 and 2 loving daughters. Have had some health issues that keep me side-lined when I have flares. FMS & ADHD are chronic. But I am a survivor of breast cancer. I volunteer & have for 6 years at a wonderful hospital in Portland in their coronary care unit. My passions are my pugs, reading, helping people and my husband. (But not necessarily in the order:)!

Close ADHD / ADD
STARTED IN HIGH SCHOOL WHEN IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONCENTRATE & COLLEGE WAS A DISASTER. YET, I OWNED MY OWN BUSINESS (TRAVEL AGENCY) & WAS MAKING A PROFIT IN SIX MONTHS. WHICH IS NOT THE NORM. I FEEL CONFLICTED AND SOMETIMES QUITE STUPID THAT I CAN'T REMEMBER A BOOK I JUST READ OR A MOVIE THAT I JUST SAW. AND NEEDLESS TO SAY, I CAN GET DEPRESSED FAIRLY FREQUENTLY!
Treatments
- Focalin Working / Worked
- I WAS ON RITALIN FOR OVER A YEAR - IT TRULY DID NOT SEEM TO HELP. CHANGED KING FOCALIN, IT DOESN'T HAVE THE 'BAD' SIDE EFFECTS OF RITALIN.BUT I HAVE DAYS THAT I PUSH MYSELF & CAN HAVE A FULL & PRODUCTIVE DAY. I AM BY NATURE NEAT & ORGANIZED (AND DON'T HAVE A CREATIVE BONE IN MY BODY :)! SO THERE IS ALWAYS THE QUESTIONS WITH MY DOCS, IS IT FIBRO OR ADD? I DON'T NEED AN RX, I JUST WISH MY MEMORY AND SKILLS WERE WHAT THEY USED TO BE-
- Ritalin Not Working
- FELT NO DIFFERENCE AFTER A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME!
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- MY APPETITE IS NOT GOOD & I AM SLENDER, BUT THAT WAS FROM BEING VERY DISCIPLINED ABOUT MY DIET. NOW, I CAN EAT SOME 'BAD' STUFF " AND DON'T SUFFER.BUT ON REALITY, I DON'T EAT VERY MUCH, JUST TRY TO KEEP MY ENERGY LEVEL UP!
Close Fibromyalgia
Diagnosed in 1995 & it truly has changed my life in so many ways. I try to be in denial. & push through life. I volunteer at a hospital and do water aerobics & walking. But, I honestly want many times to crawl in to my bed & pull up the covers an escape EVERYTHING. I am SO GOOD at making my feelings (fatigue & pain) & I try to keep my personal appearance so id I told anyone how I reallly felt they wouldn't believe me. To have others think you are sick, you must look sick!!!
Treatments
- Acupuncture Not Working
- Unsuccessful
- Adderall Working / Worked
- I do have ADHD but this drug did not seem to work. New RX was Focalin. okay but insurance stopped covering (also Ritiain did not help the focus issue( I am on Concerta now ( 2 weeks) and it will be generic soon & no magic but, I think any of this drug type helps my total exhaustion that I can be fairly productive in my life.
- Aqua Therapy Working / Worked
- GOOD!
- Elavil Working / Worked
- Have taken it for 8+ years, no weight gain & does help sleep most of the time.
- Heat Working / Worked
- LOVE THAT HEAT!
- Neurontin Not Working
- Did not work (suppose to use it for RLS) & never used at a higher dosage-Dr. new RX was Klonopin which works!!!
- TENS Not Working
- Have a unit paid for- might try again.
- Ultram Working / Worked
- Yes! It truly helps my muscle pain, but the trade off I am exhausted all day, so I do not take it often because I feel I would be unsafe to drive or make any serious decisions.
- Vitamin B12 Too Soon to Tell
- NO, but just started taking it again after 9 years, have to see what happens.
