    • About Me

      I am learning I am more then my diagnoses and that they do not define me. I am a daughter, a sister and a loyal friend. I am also very tender hearted, a romantic, funny and creative. I am like the fall leaves- colorful and ever changing. I find my greatest joy when I am serving others and helping them feel loved. Interests: home decorating, stamping, card making, plays and musicals, watching old movie classics, kayaking and camping.

    • Hug

      From elenamdib July 13

      sorry for the very very late reply, but ive been doing well and sorry to hear about your absence due to the crohn's. I am continuing my self treatment with no medications. but i just did some research on a prescription called LDN. (low dose naltrexone). I am going to start taking it. The results and personal stories about its effectiveness are amazing and it works with my ideal that crohn's is not autoimmune at all. Instead of suppressing the immune system (like all other crohn's treatments), it boosts it tremendously. Go here: http://www.lowdosenaltrexone.org/i...#What_is_low_dose_naltrexone

    • Close Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

      I was diagnosed with OCD in 2003. It has been quite a journey for me as I have strived to come to understand this mental condition and learn to live the best life I can with the limitations that come with this. My OCD manifests itself in cleaning, eating and alignment rituals and I have many intrusive thoughts and mental rituals. Sometimes It feels like it is too much to bear and other times it is more manageable.

      Treatments

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
      I would say this is the thing that helps me the most with my journey towards recovery and coping with my OCD.
      Paxil Working / Worked
      This worked for a short time and then lost its effectiveness.
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      This caused me to be too tired to function and so I discontinued using it after several months.
    • Close Depression

      I have struggled with Depression my entire life. Each day I learn more about myself and how to cope with a life with Depression.

      Treatments

      Celexa Working / Worked
      This seems to be working for me right now.
      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
      This is the thing that helps me a lot.
      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      This didn't work for me and I got more symptomatic.
      Effexor Working / Worked
      This worked for a short time and then stopped.
      Geodon Working / Worked
      This is working for me I have been on it for 3 months now and my mood has improved and I am not having the devastating lows and I am more stable.
      Meditation Working / Worked
      This is a very helpful tool in fighting the depression.
      Paxil Working / Worked
      This seemed to work for awhile and then stopped. I never got feeling really good but manageable.
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      I am trying to do this more and more and it really helps.
      Prozac Working / Worked
      This worked for awhile for me. I had side effects where I had restless leg syndrom and pain in my legs.
      Seroquel Not Working
      I didn't like this medicine because it knocked me out and made it difficult to function in the day.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      This is the biggest thing that has helped me with my depression and kept me going and to continue to fight.
      Writing Working / Worked
      This is another good tool that helps me with my depression.
      Biaxin Working / Worked
      I have noticed an improvement with this medicine combined with my others.
    • Open Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis

      I was diagnosed with Crohns Disease in 2008. It has been a very discouraging and painful journey. I am now doing a lot better and I am managing my Crohn's and able to live a more full life. I hope that this will continue.
