    • Close Endometriosis

      I was diagnosed with Endo last May. They removed it but nothing has changed, I was still in daily pain but they said they had done all they could and maybe my problems were psycoschomatic. I know my body and knew they were wrong. I have now been put on zoladex for 6 months. I have my 3rd injection in a week and am considering not having it. I feel worse than ever and can see no end in sight.

      Treatments

      Laser Surgery Not Working
      I had about 2 days of pain free. but that was only because I had been doped up with morphine and also the local anaesthetic
      Surgery Not Working
      Zoladex Too Soon to Tell
      I have my 3rd injection in a week but the side effects are horrendous. I cry every day, can't sleep, hot flashes, night sweats, daily headaches, stupidly anxious and acne. The only good thing is no bleeding but I am yet to see if it has an effect.
    • Close Celiac Disease

      I was diagnosed in 2002 with coeliacs disease via an endoscopy.

      Treatments

      Gluten Free Diet Somewhat Helpful
      I've always had a hate/hate relationship with food and after bein overweight most of my life, after living on a gluten free diet, I lost over 4 stone. Unfortunately it affected me so much to the point where I took it to the extreme and I now suffer with anorexia. All my own doing I know.
    • Open Eating Disorders
      Type: Anorexia

      I was diagnosed with coeliacs disease in 2002 and after following a gluten free diet I lost 4 stone. I've always had a rough relationship with food and because I saw how much weight I could lose eating gluten free, it got way out of control to the point where I now suffer with anorexia. Having coeliacs makes it a lot easier for me to defend myself when I know what I'm doing is wrong, I just can't help it.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
      I'm only on my 3rd appt which is in a week. I have been given a food diary to fill in but I've realised that this just makes things worse for me as even though I'm eating very little at the mo, I haven't eaten for 3 days now all so I don't have to write it down. I have been honest with my counsellor about this though. I've suffered with anorexia since 2003 but only now I've seeked help.
    • Open Insomnia

      I suffer with insomnia which goes back as long as I can remember, even before I was 10 years old. I don't think it's something that will ever change.

      Treatments

      Ambien Not Working
      Felt like hell
      Ativan Not Working
      nothing.
      Counting Sheep Somewhat Helpful
      In rare cases when I feel exhausted, I don't count sheep but things like names beginning with the alphabet etc
      Dalmane Not Working
      Felt like hell.
      Halcion Not Working
      Felt like hell.
      Lavender Somewhat Helpful
      My pillow spray and my neck and wrist balm relaxes me but no sleep.
      Music Somewhat Helpful
      Sometimes the radio keeps me company but I've listened to 4 albums in a row and I'm still awake!
      Reading Somewhat Helpful
      It passes the long nights but doesn't send me to sleep.
      Restoril Somewhat Helpful
      Very ocassionally it will send me off to sleep but I wake after two hrs exactly. Everytime!
      Remeron Working / Worked
      The one tablet that worked. But the side effects were so horrendous Id rather not sleep. And for me to say that they were hell.
