    • Close Spina Bifida
      Type: spina bifida occulta

      I was born with spina bifida occulta with a mylomeningoceyle and tehtered cord. I have had 4 surgeries: age 7 and 10 - lumbar lamenectomy, ages 13 and 15 spinal fusion L2, 3 & 4. I am now 41 and gave birth 2 3 girls (1 naturally) and I have worked on my feet most of my adult life. The older I get, the more issues I seem to have as a result of this defect. I have never had anyone to talk to that has this. I am excited to meet people that can relate! :)

    • Close Restless Legs Syndrome

      I was recently diagnosed with severe RLS: 160 movements per hour and woke up on an average of every 5 minutes during a sleep study. I also have spina bifida which may have a connection. I am on Mirapex and starting to have some unwanted side effects. I would like to explore other tratments!

      Treatments

      Mirapex Somewhat Helpful
      It helps me sleep but doesnt help during the day. I have gained 22 lbs in last 3 months and experiencing edema. Not liking this!
    • Open Celiac Disease

      My daughter was diagnosed when she was almost 2. She will be 8 this summer. It has been a challenge as I'm sure you all know.

      Treatments

      Gluten Free Diet Working / Worked
      Amazing how much better my daughter felt after changing her diet. She gained 7 lbs in 2 months after that. That's a lot of weight for a 2 yr old.
    • Open ADHD / ADD

      To find other adults with ADHD that can shed some light on how to cope with this.

      Treatments

      Adderall Too Soon to Tell
      Just started Adderall XR. Seems to be better than the immediate release.
      Concerta Too Soon to Tell
      Very expensive. Seemed to help a little but my doc suggested that I try the Adderall XR.
      Behavior Management Somewhat Helpful
      I am beginning to recognize some of my issues and trying to find ways to correct them.
