Interests
Don't really know yet. I only had one interest of maintaining my dope habit. There's a big world out there, a big scary world. Feel like a little girl.

Close Hepatitis C
I was diagnosed 12 years ago. doctors recommend TX but I have refused. Blood work shows a high viral load (I am always tired physically). Bi-opsy done 6 years ago and showed it to be undetectable in my liver, but they highly recommended TX anyways. Undecided and would like some advise.
Close Back Pain
I have a herniated disc in lower back. Suffer from pinching, burning, and it lockes up on me often. I hate my life.
Treatments
- Bedrest Somewhat Helpful
- sometimes it helps and sometimes it does not.
- Flexeril Working / Worked
- It takes tht edge off. Heating pads make the inflamation work.
- Physical Therapy Working / Worked
- I do my own excercises at home
- Stretching Working / Worked
- constantly stretch
- TENS Working / Worked
- Hellp if I am consistant
Open Heroin Addiction & Recovery
Well, been chasing the dragon for as far as I can remember. Heroin mostly, but I have done my share of opiates as well. Pills and such. Now clean for 8 months even off saboxon. I attend AA/NA meetings. This is the hardest thing I have ever done. Never had this much time. I have been in jails, rehabs over and over again. Lost my children years ago. I did everything and anything to get my fix. Fact was it was going to be one one overdose too many . I chose to live.
Treatments
- Narcotics Anonymous (NA) Working / Worked
- currently working
- Residential Treatment Center Working / Worked
- wasn't ready at the time to surrender
- Suboxone Working / Worked
- helped think I may go back on
