    • About Me

      I'm a 45 year old Lymie, wife and mother. Married my husband in 1983 - 25th anniv is coming up in November. Our daughter, our only child, is 11. I work at a major financial institution, where I manage software projects. I love my family, and enjoy my job. I have 1 sister (older) and 1 brother (younger), and my Mom (my Dad died last summer). My login name is from the style of karate I study, Uechi Ryu, and sounds like "weechee rue"

      I had my black belt prep class tonight, and one of the things we had to do was some of our moves in front of the class.  I worked with a woman …

    • Close Lyme Disease

      I am waiting for official diagnosis of Lyme, but am 99% sure this is what has been making me feel so awful. Muscle aches, joint stiffness, difficutlty concentrating, disoriented sometimes, vomiting. Fun stuff ;-)

      Treatments

      Amoxicillin Working / Worked
      Loved it, I felt as close to normal as I have in a long time
      Ceftriaxone Working / Worked
      Took via IV. First 4-week dose worked miraculously for me. LIttle/no herxing. Once off, lost ground withihn a week. Had 2nd 4-week course, and that was the ticket for me.
      Mepron Somewhat Helpful
      Not sure if this made a difference. Took with Amoxicillin, which I'd taken before by itself and felt really good. Not sure if Mepron added. Also, very very expensive ($1600/month)
    • Close GERD & Heartburn

      Have had GERD for several years.

      Treatments

      Prilosec Somewhat Helpful
      Worked for a couple years; had to double my dose about 5 months ago. Has since stopped working.
    • Open The Financial Crisis

      UechiWoman hasn’t entered any details for this support group.
    • Open Fibromyalgia

      Not sure if it's Fibromyalgia, still being tested

    • Open Fitness Goals
      Type: Be the best you can be

      Weight's been a problem my entire life. I have a chronic disease that causes muscle pain, fatigue, and air hunger - and trying to figure out how to regain fitness in spite of it.

      Treatments

      6 Week Body Makeover Somewhat Helpful
      I lost weight / size, but was lightheaded and weak.
      LA Weight Loss Not Working
      Spent a LOT of money on this program, but plateau'd after 2 weeks.
      Martial Arts Working / Worked
      Karate's excellent exercise. But more demanding than I can do right now.
      Weight Watchers Working / Worked
      Worked GREAT the first time. Regaihned, rejoined 3-4 times, doesn't work for me anymore...
    • Open Myofascial Pain Syndrome

      20+ years of TMJ, then chronic Lyme setup trigger points in my lower back. Horrible. TrP massage has made a world of difference; I can manage the pain, and no longer need to take mountains of ibuprofen for my TMJ.

    • Open Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)

      UechiWoman hasn’t entered any details for this support group.
    • Open Parenting 'Tweens (9-12)

      UechiWoman hasn’t entered any details for this support group.
    • Open Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
      Type: Relapsing-remitting MS

      Two friends have MS, and I'd like to know how to support them.
