    • Close Lyme Disease

      Wow, tell my story..got very sick in 97-migraines, TIA, seizures, etc. had all sorts of tests & all were negative. A spinal tap turned up positive for Lyme. I have been a medical walking nightmare ever since. There is not a part of my body that has not been affected by this awful disease. I am now disabled by the courts & can't help wondering if this will EVER get any better. I've been told that it won't. I take 51 pills a day..list is too long to fit here! Read journal for full story.

    • Open Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

      Have suffered from IBS for MANY years now. I will soon be undergoing a very drastic surgery in order to correct my problem. I have been diagnosed with Colonic Inertia. Basically, a very slow moving colon. Also possible that I have a Rectocele. Will be tested for that soon. The surgery for the CI is not an easy solution, but the good side is that they will connect my small intestine to my bowel which will stop the need for a colostomy. They will remove the entire large intestine (colon).
