    • About Me

      I'm older than I want to be and fatter than I ought to be. I'm either too short or too fat. Havent figured that out yet. I like people and have a great sense of humor. But I spend endless hour alone. I have grown children that are very self efficient. They live near by, yet I rarely see them. My hubby is a truck driver. Gone is what he is. I am sick and tired of living out the days by my self. Literly. It makes me ill. Depression is the only company I have. Without it I would be nothing. I go for days seeing no one and the only place I go is to buy more food.

    • Close Depression
      : Clinical (Major) Depression

      I really think I was depressed while Mama was carrying me. I have taken something for depression since I was a child. They thought I was just a hard headed kid. They didn't reconize it as depression back then. They have tried several meds. before finally getting it right. That has taken years. I was a good mother but I think I could of been better had someone took me seriously back then. I see it now in my grown children. But they dont take it serious for themselves.

      Treatments

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
      I have to remember to act not react. I was abused and beaten for 20 years of marrage. I reacted not acted. When I stay on the med. this is easier to do. With out them I am just bouncing off any and everything that moves or speaks.
      Elavil Working / Worked
      I have night terrors with sleep paralyses. This helps very well with these problems as well as my diabetes nerve damage.
      Meditation Working / Worked
      This works only if I meditate on good.lol
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      I have to be very careful what I let my mind settle on. I can not focus on the unplesant things that I can't change. I have to change my thoughts or get busy doing something. Night time and at bed time is the worse time. Sometimes I have to get up and it's hours before I can go lay back down. Reading till I fall asleep helps a lot.It keeps the mind busy so it want drift on to thoughts that are not healthy. I call them toxic.
      Prozac Working / Worked
      Without it I am manic.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      My Husband is my biggest support. He has worked with me to recover from the earlier marrage of 20 years abuse. He is in full control of his emotion which helps so when I'm not in control he can help me. I thank God for him.
      Writing Somewhat Helpful
      The only way this helps me is to go back & read how things were during different stages.
    • Close Asthma

      I have asthma and need to learn about it as much as possible. I think speaking with people who have it is better than talking with a Dr. who don't. I haven't been told "What kind of Asthma" I have.

      Treatments

      Advair Working / Worked
      Was in bad shape before this treatment.
      Albuterol Somewhat Helpful
    • Open Arthritis

      I have Oa and Ra and am in pain most all of the time. I have just come to the point of it effecting me every day all day and at night. I have found that the synvisc works the best for me.

      Treatments

      Bextra Somewhat Helpful
      I was scared of the side effects.
      Glucosamine/Chondroitin Not Working
      I took it and could tell no improvement
      Ibuprofen Working / Worked
      Works better than Tylenol if taken regularly
      Ketoprofen Not Working
      Hurts my stomach.
      Naproxen Not Working
      Hurts my stomach.
      Swimming Working / Worked
      The best I found for it. Although I am just about to far down to get up and go. The place I have to go to doesn't heat the pool warm enough and it actually makes me hurt.
      Synvisc Working / Worked
      It worked well and I am planning my next shots to start any day now.
      Tylenol Working / Worked
      I can tell improvement in pain when I take it on regular basis.
    • Open Female Sexual Issues

      Been there and done that.

    • Open Gastric Bypass Surgery

      I am 150 pounds over weight. I could have the band type surgery done. I'm scared. If you had it to do over would you have it. Or would you keep trying by dieting yourself?

    • Open Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)

      I was told I had diabetes and hypoglycemia. My blood sugar goes from 40-50-when I don't eat to 300 when I do eat. I need help not only to understanding this illness but how to treat it.

    • Open Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety

      I hadn't thought of a group for the feelings I have when I don't want to leave my house. Sometimes it's the room I'm in. I have panic attacks at night. I wake up so frightened I can't move. My husband use to talk me through it now he sleeps through it. Seems the problem is getting worse instead of better. It's sometimes crazy stuff. Like I look at the wrinkles in my hands and think. This is scary. I don't know maybe this is not the right group to be in. What do you think.

    • Open Sjogren's Syndrome

      Hi, I have known I have Sjogren's for about 2 years now. I'm sure I have had it a lot longer. I have dry eyes (sometimes excessive watering) dry mouth & etc...I have a mouth sore all the time. I know very little about the syndrome. I have a positive ANA. What ever that mean. I feel so sick all the time. I have type 2 diabetes, osteoarthritis, asthma & depression. I don't know whether I'm coming or going. I have seen a rheumatologist

      I feel so alone all the time. If I died I dont think no one would know until the smell got bad.

    • Open Abstinence & Celibacy

      I have been married for 16 years and 10 without sex. I love my husband and I know he loves me. But knowing I will never be held or kissed passionately again is sometimes hard to live with. (or without)
