I was working as a senior broker for a major firm until I went on disability in Jan '09. It's been a very tough transition going from being super independent and self sufficient to not even being able to drive anymore. For quite a while I was seeing 4 doctors as they were trying to determine if I had MS, cancer, heart problems, degenerative brain disorder... the list goes on and on. Now they tell me I'm physically healthy and it's all in my head. Sooo I'm starting back at square one AGAIN with the Dx of Conversion Disorder and Agoraphobia. (They can't figure it out so I'm automatically crazy). I just want a semblance of my old life back.

I love to read, garden, paint, dance and drink copious amounts of coffee. Of course these passions are currently on the back burner due to my life altering conditions of vertigo, vision loss, fatigue and muscle weakness/pain.

Thanks for the rainbow Kim. This has turned out to be our hottest November week since 1894 !!!! A slight decrease in temp is expected after Monday, but then rising again as the week goes on. I think I will holiday in Antarctica for our summer lol. Hope everything is going well with you.
Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.

WICKED pics!!!! Glad I don't live there! Tornados are as bad as it gets here.
I have been suffering from chronic vertigo for over 2 years now. I have seen, heard and had it all done to me. From MRIs, EEGs, ENT specialists, neurologists, and cardiac specialists I am at a dead end. I even had heart surgery in July to close a hole in my heart, (PFO). Still no better. After struggling for years to make something of myself I've had to go on disability and throw it all away. I am hoping to find some kind of solace here.
Had TERRIBLE migraines 6-7 times a month since I was in grade school. Also along with the migraines I had a 24/7 headache in my right temple for over three years. Had heart surgery July '08 to close PFO, Migraines and 24/7 headache GONE!!!
Have had panic and social anxiety my whole life. Been getting progressively worse to the point of going on disability Jan 09.
