Thumbs Up
AMEN TO THAT.
I’m With You
I think the hormones are working too and that along with fae and adhd is just a pain, lol.
Thanks for being a friend.
Hug
What an experience! You know, I have come to the conclusion that these kids are smart enough that they KNOW that the worse they act, the sooner they will get their own way! The only thing I haven't figured out is what to do about it! lol. Feeling bad for you! Wishing you all the best!
Hug
Thanks for the hug and the prayers! My prayers are with you as well. It really sounds like oyu have your hands full.
Hug
Hi : ) I hope that you can get some rest tonight and feel better. Jennifer

Close Grandparents Raising Children
I am a single disabled mom of 5 grown children, gramma to 8, and raising my youngest grandaughter. I've had her since she was 4 1/2 months old. She is 5 and I am 55. I don't know any other grands that are are in a simular type situation. I have my little one because her parents, my son and his girlfriend, have alcohol, and drug problems. They asked me to come get her. I have sole custody of her.
Close Chronic Pain
I'm 54 and have always been in pain as long as I can remember. There wasn't any explaination so they acted like it was all in my head. I had periods of time when the pain was less. It became worse and more frequent with age. A car wreck at age 39 damaged several disks in my neck and back. It has been down hill from there. Doc's didn't want me on long term pain meds and I can't have surgery. I lost my job, am on disability. Depression, anxiety and pain have been a never ending circle ever since
Treatments
- Chiropractic Adjustment Working / Worked
- tired this for several months, actually made back pain worse
- Cymbalta Working / Worked
- seemed to help a little, but I became sucidal on it.
- Flexeril Somewhat Helpful
- I have been on this PRN since I was 39. I have to double the dose now for any relief and the side effects from years of use is severe constipation.
- Heat Somewhat Helpful
- It helps a little sometimes on my lower back or my shoulder.
- Hydrocodone Somewhat Helpful
- It helps enough to make the pain bearable in my back, but docs don't want me to become addicted, so they just let me hurt most of the time. It hurts my stomach if I take it to often.
- Naproxen Somewhat Helpful
- helps a little with shoulder pain but kills my stomach.
- Neurontin Not Working
- This didn't help at all
- Oxycodone Somewhat Helpful
- same as hydrocodone, I get relief but docs don't want me on it

Open Families & Friends Of Addicts
My 35 year old son is a herion addict. It's been extremely difficult to deal with. As his mom I don't want to give up on him, but I know I can't help him anymore, I haven't been able to for a long time. I try hard to leave him in God's hands. I still love my son very much but am so sad. I have lost the son I raised to his drugs and alcohol. I don't even know the person he is now. I hope the good is still there and he can find his way back. He is killing himself and doesn't seem to care.

Open Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
I have sole custody of my 4 year old gd, have had her since she was 4 and a half months old. I knew her bio mom was an alcohol/drug abuser. She is in pre-K and has lots of behaviour problems.

She doesn't have the facial features common to FAS but has a lot of the problems.
