      I would LOVE to hear more of your story. You sound extremely brave, and what you said almost exactly describes what I had been writing about in my book. You will be in my prayers tonight!

    • Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

      In 2007, I was hit by a car while crossing a street with a loved one. After hospital time, and extensive rehabilitative therapy, I came home. It's been a few years since then, but I realized I may have PTSD, and I know the other person does does. I'd like to learn more about it, and get help and support of those who'd best understand.

      Treatments

      Art Working / Worked
      I love art of many types, but if anything, I'll draw. Drawing helps me focus, and my mind is only on getting the shading right, or the image the way I want it to be.
      Music Working / Worked
      I love music, and greatly enjoy singing, so it helps me escape all drama in my life. When I'm scared, sad, or anything else, there's always music to help me. I listen to a good type of music, and it helps me get away from it all.
      Reading Working / Worked
      Reading helps me go into another world, I focus on the happenings of the characters lives, and events in them. It makes me happy.
      Talking Working / Worked
      I talk, I shout, near whisper, and with any and each I cry. Speaking to and with someone who's supportive, and/or understanding, and helpful can greatly help my mood, emotional stability, and enable me to get things done, if stress hinders me.
    • Close Amnesia

      I was hit by a car during 2007, and my injuries caused me to forget most of my life preceding the accident, and much for several months afterward. I had poor memory naturally, then FM, and TBI.

    • Open Brain Injury

      I was hit by a car during 2007, and one of my multiple injuries was Traumatic Brain Injury. I've been healing, but it's been hard, research has helped a great dea.

    • Open Fibromyalgia

      I've suffered from Fibromyalgia since age 15, 2005. It was undiagnosed and misdiagnosed until September 2008, when my 2nd Rheumatologist confidently diagnosed me. I didn't have any means of treatment until being prescribed Lyrica a few months ago. It has been very hard, as you all understand.

      Treatments

      Lyrica Working / Worked
      It hasn't started working at my current dosage level, as my Rheumatologist said it most likely would not. We're going to progressively increase and adjust the dosage, and I'm hopeful and optimistic.
