    • Close Asthma
      Type: Other

      All of the above

      Treatments

      Advair Too Soon to Tell
      I haven't had to use my rescue inhaler six or seven times a day, which I used to have to just walking/in the cold. Now I'm at one or two puffs a day. However I have not exercised yet so we'll see.
      Albuterol Working / Worked
      Ventolin is always ever the life saver, except, you know, when it's..not.
      Flovent Somewhat Helpful
      Caused sores in mouth, hoarse voice--when my asthma was less severe it did help however it did not work as my asthma got worse.
    • Close Environmental Allergies

      Treatments

      Flonase Somewhat Helpful
      Nasonex Somewhat Helpful
      I guess it works but is irritating to take.
      Rhinocort AQ Somewhat Helpful
      Singulair Not Working
      Did not help me at all.
      Sudafed Working / Worked
    • Open Arthritis

      Treatments

      Ibuprofen Not Working
      Not even near strong enough.
      Naproxen Somewhat Helpful
      It worked for four years for dysmenorrhea and no longer worked after, switched to ponstan. It is either not strong enough of an NSAID for my joint pain or I am now immune to it.
      Voltaren Somewhat Helpful
      It certainly takes the edge off if I take it one day if I do not take it the next day I am not as bad in the morning. However the day after that day two without it is often painful.However it only reduces my pain and gives me severe nauseavomiting if I do not eat enough AND take a calcium antacid.
    • Open Restless Legs Syndrome

      Treatments

      Lexapro Not Working
      This is an SSRI that makes PLMD worse.
      Clonazepam Not Working
      Waking up was hell. Being awake was hell. Which was ironic because I was taking the drug to fix my sleep so you know I wouldnt be tired.
    • Open Narcolepsy

      Treatments

      Dexedrine Working / Worked
      Works short term, good with focus. But does not last long enough.
      Concerta Too Soon to Tell
    • Open Chronic Pain

      Treatments

      Prednisone Somewhat Helpful
      My mother has been on this four about seven years. It seems to have lessened her pain but she is still in a great of pain most of time. The side effects as her child do not seem worth it to me. It makes her crazy with very strong and sometimes violent mood swings and has also made her face look swelled as opposed to large.
