    • About Me

      My son is 19 years old and is currently living in sober living after being in residential rehab for 2 months. He was addicted to pain pills and used almost everything else. I have one other son who is 23 and married. My husband and I live together and this is our first and only marriage for both of us.

      I am the mother of a 19 yr. old son who is a recovering addict. His drug of choice was pain pills but he would use just about anything. He is living in sober living now and will graduate from a 5 month treatment program in about 1 month. I am struggling with codependecy and keeping my marriage peacefull.

      Treatments

      Al-Anon Not Working
      The meetings were very small in my area and I feel that it is really time consuming before you get any help.
      Patience Somewhat Helpful
      It seems I can go for quite awhile and be fine with the situation and then I just feel like I can't do it any more.
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      Sometimes this really helps but it depends on who I talk to
      Writing Too Soon to Tell
      I am just starting.
    • Close Menopause

      I started perimenapause at 39. I take Estradiol, Progesterone cream, Estroven and Meletonin to help me sleep. I think I have experienced about every symptom that there is. I have gotten the night sweats, and most of the hot flashes under control with the meds but still struggle with mood swings, crying, depression at times, and strange, foggy thinking and feelings. I can't believe the havic that menapause can cause on a marriage and at the present time I am struggling to keep mine happy.

      Treatments

      Black Cohosh Working / Worked
      Estradiol Working / Worked
      Estroven Working / Worked
      I take it every day.
      Progesterone Cream Working / Worked
      It took 2 to 3 weeks to really see any difference. But it does help with hot flashes, mood and fuzzy thinking.
