I'm sorry about your troubles renee.

No, you're right -- I wish there was a way to keep those on top. I just go through those two post every now and then and delete all the "bumps". I do think those are two good ones for new people, anyway. Feel free to bump them anytime they drop off the first page. Man, I wish I did have a "job story". Man, it's a rough time to be looking for a job. I apply to new ones EVERY day. I use indeed.com - it's a great site that pulls all the jobs from a ton of sites to one site. I think I need to revamp my resume or something - I'm just not getting that many calls! I can always go the temp route, I was just putting that off for now. It's been pretty good to me in the past, as far as finding a permanent position. Still paddling like mad to keep my head above water on unemployment. I'm glad you're staying active in the group -- we have so many members ya never hear from. People come and go on here, I guess. I've made some great friends here. Have yet to meet anyone yet, but there's a few people in the group who aren't that far from me. Maybe some day. Keep in touch and I hope you're weekend is starting out great! I used to live for my weekends -- now I hardly know what day it is! lol

It's kind of hard to describe symptoms, first gigantic itcy hives, then break out into a bumpy rash, like really swollen bumpy. If it goes to far without treatment my air passage swells and i can't breathe, then my heart rate peaks and then goes way down, almost died memorial weekend of it. I will check out the book, enjoyed the other one you recommended. Thanks and hang in there.

Great job on the 8 days!

Close Alcoholism
My husband and I are both alcoholics. I was going to quit when I turned 30... ha ha... I'm 35 and still drinking. We have two beautiful girls aged 4 and 3. I have to QUIT!
Treatments
- 12 Step Program Not Working
- AA Meetings Not Working
- Naltrexone Working / Worked
- This is a great anti-craving medicine. It took a couple of days to get used to it (took ativan for sleep those first couple days). Haven't needed to take it everyday, and still great results.
- Reading Working / Worked
- Reading everything I can get my hands on regarding recovery (including AA material and non-AA material.) The best help so far has been Allen Carr's "The Easy Way to Stop Drinking". I guess I really like his way of thinking about things!
Close Celiac Disease
I think I am allergic to gluten. Trying to find the time to take the gluten-free test!
Open Psoriasis
Affected Areas: Psoriasis of the SkinI've had psoriasis since I was about 8 - but it was never very bad. The past three years it has gotten much worse. I am going to try a gluten-free diet to see if that helps.

- Coal Tar Somewhat Helpful
- Dovonex Somewhat Helpful
Open Parenting Preschoolers (3-5)
My husband and I have two beautiful, but sassy, girls, aged 3 and 4. They are the best of friends, but also know how to fight pretty well too!

Open Video Game Addiction
Video Gaming is going to destroy my household, along with other nasty addictions. I want a normal life! My husband is heavily addicted to Tribal Wars (just the latest of gaming he's gotten into.)
