    • Close Blindness & Visual Impairment
      Type: Legally Blind

      Dad went today for a shot called visudine (spelling) now he can't go out into the sun for a week. The doc says his left eye is gone and right eye is bleeding in three areas. Hope it works. Anyone ever had these shots. Are there side effects? He is 76 and in not such good health.

      Treatments

      Laser Surgery Too Soon to Tell
      Just had it done today. We will see.
    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I have been in pain for as long as I can remember. It only has gotten worse. I was in a terribe car accident and broke my back. They put a rib on my spine to fuse it. That was 20 yrs. ago and the pain has only gotten worse. Most doctors tell me it is in my head. It is good to see others who can share with me their experiences.

      Treatments

      Ultram Working / Worked
      This works, but be very careful. They say it is not addicting, but after you have been on it for awhile and don't have it you can feel the withdrawl.
      Codeine Somewhat Helpful
      When I can get it. Doctor says I need to learn to live with it.
    • Open Alcoholism

      Wife of a functioning alcoholic. Been married for 27 years. Can't take much more. Kids are grown and he no longer has any desires to do anything but drink.

    • Open Bipolar Disorder

      My sister is 38 years old. She lives with my mom and dad and her son who is 4. She says she is bipolar although I feel it is drug abuse. How do you know? How do you convince a person to seek help because it is running the family and causing legal issues. I need any advice I can get.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      This seems to help when she does take it. When she does not watch out because things will be worse than before.
      Cymbalta Not Working
      She gets even worse. But she is also taking vicodin, ultram, adderell, blood pressure, high cholesterol, and who knows what else.
