    • Close HPV

      Treatments

      Colposcopy Somewhat Helpful
      This is a diagnostic only.
      LEEP Too Soon to Tell
      Cone biopsy of the cervix. Another three months for a followup Colposcopy to see if they got it all.
    • Close Fatty Liver Disease

      Kstana hasn’t entered any details for this support group.
    • Open Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

      I have Transverse Myelitis, which is often misdiagnosed as MS. Because the treatments and symptoms for my disorder are so close to MS, I volunteer with the MSAA and wanted to be part of your group.

      Treatments

      Physical Therapy Working / Worked
      I did PT on my own after my TM diagnosis to recover my fine motor skills.
    • Open Breakups & Divorce

      The wild unicorn boy, as I prefer to call my ex husband, annonced to me one evening after almost 8 years of marriage that we needed to talk about our relationship. He wanted out, he was done and there was no talking about fixing it. Amazingly...I was ready too, but that hasn't made the healing any easier.

      Treatments

      Music Working / Worked
      I've found that music sometimes helps me work through many emotions. Different music for different moods.
      Pets Working / Worked
      I got custody of the cats...my boys. They have been the best thing for me in the world during the healing process. Unconditional love is often what we need most as we struggle with the rejection of divorce.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      My girlfriends were FURIOUS when they found out and rallied around me. They were angry on my behalf while I focused on getting moved, a new job and rebuilding my life. I only allowed myself to deal with the grief and anger later.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Talking to friends, family, sometiems even strangers has helped me gain understanding that it really was not me in this case.
      Time Working / Worked
      Age old saying that time heals all wounds is true...they just never mentioned how much time. Some scars run deeper than others.
    • Open Migraine Headaches

      I've had headaches and migraine headaches most of my adult life. More recently my doctor thought a headache I have had might be related to the Transverse Myelitis I have...but the MRI didn't show anything. Head still hurts on the left side just below the temple...going on 2 months now.

      Treatments

      Excedrin Working / Worked
      Works sometimes if I notice the headache coming
      Imitrex Working / Worked
      Hated the nasal spray, but it was instant relief. The pill takes a little longer, but does the job.
      Naproxen Somewhat Helpful
      Only works for other types of headaches and not as well as other options.
      Tylenol Somewhat Helpful
      so-so

    • Open Insomnia

      Have had insomnia off and on my entire adult life, usaully around exceptionally stressful periods.
