    • Sorry to Autism group-oops!

      Mood July 4, 2009 4:16pm

      I went to sign up on the Autism site, then quickly took my name out, as I don't agree with most of what is said & I've had 27 yrs of …

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      Sorry , too tired!

      Treatments

      TENS Working / Worked
      When I use it, it seems to definately help the many spasms I get in my back region.
    • Close Sleep Apnea

      I have Obstructive Sleep Apnea & want to learn as much as I can on how to help myself with it.

      Treatments

      CPAP Working / Worked
      It definately works for me. When I have not used it for a night, I get reminded real fast how lousy I felt the next day caused by lack of sleep. Im using the Opus Nasal Pillows Mask 360. Works perfectly for a good nights sleep for me.
    • Open Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

      I had CT bilaterally. Even though I have had CTR, I still have pain & want to learn new ways to make them stop hurting.

      Treatments

      Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery Somewhat Helpful
      It worked to a degree. It's not as painful at all, extremely weak in both wrists, (which is scary to me) & all it takes is a small wipe of the counter & I'm in pain for a few weeks again.
      Chiropractic Adjustment Somewhat Helpful
      I never noticed either way, but it definately helps my back & neck pain!
      Ibuprofen Working / Worked
      When it really hurts, I take an 800mg Ibuprofen & within a half an hour, it really helps alot.
      Wrist Splint Working / Worked
      They help by absorbing much of the wt & I can't twist my wrists while they're on.
    • Open Albinism

      My 26yr old son is Albino

    • Open Eczema

      Have had Eczema for 20yrs.

      Treatments

      Aloe Vera Working / Worked
      Elidel Working / Worked
      I use it when my patches start flaring. Seems to be clearing them well.
      Evening Primrose Oil Not Working
      I take this for female reasons. Didn't know that it would help this too. In that case, no, I don't think it's helped- I just had a terrible flare up!
      Hydrocortisone Working / Worked
      It worked when I used it, but my skin has thinned terribly where it's been applied-which Dr.'s told me would happen, but when you're itching real bad, as long as the itch is gone...... I'll never use it again.
      Melaleuca Tea tree oil Too Soon to Tell
      Just started using.
