    • Celebration

      From thebestican March 31

      I hope you know what a amazing person you've turned out to be, you've taken a horrible thing in life and really learned from it and are sharing to help others. Your mother and grandmother raised a amazing person, but I have a feeling they knew that.

      Type: Loss of a Parent

      My mom passed away when I was 10. I used to cry myself to sleep. I knew the pain would never go away. Two years ago my mothers mom passed and the pain was more unbarable. The pain almost over took the loss of my mother. My moms sister passed away a couple a months ago. I feel not only my pain but my cousin's. I've come to realize I am surrounded by death.

      Treatments

      Crying Somewhat Helpful
      I used to cry too much now I don't cry at all
      Pets Somewhat Helpful
      My cat was the only one that was always there for me. But after 19 yrs she passed and I felt a new pain.
      Poetry Working / Worked
      It helped me get out feelings that I couldn't express.
      Psychotherapy Not Working
      Never found anyone who could really dig deep enough
      Talking Working / Worked
      I love to talk about the loved ones I lost. It's nice to share the memories and experience I had.
    • Close Migraine Headaches

      I am a migraine sufferer of 6 years. Sometimes I feel so alone b/c the people around me don't get migraine or know what they are like.

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful
      I no longer drink alcoholic beverages to avoid migraine attacks
      Imitrex Working / Worked
      I've been taking it for 6 yrs, I started with the 50mg and now am using the 100mg. It makes my migraine go away within an hour or taking it.
      Topamax Somewhat Helpful
      It was helpful but I had to go off it b/c I had too much weight loss.
    • Open TMJ

      I've been suffering from TMJ longer then I know. I've worn a mouth guard for years and take meds at nights to relax my jaw, although nothing seems to work 100% I am no in the locked position and the dr's haven't been able to open my fully.

      Treatments

      Mouthguard Working / Worked
      comfortable and helps protect my teach but has thrown off my bite.
      Surgery Not Working
      Ive had a flushing and cleaning of the TMJ to unlock my jaw. So far have only opened a few mm but have not unlocked
    • Open Pet Bereavement

      My cat of 19 years passed away a few years ago. I was devastated and thought I couldn't handle it. I thankfully got through it but feel as if I will never love anything as much as I loved her.
