      Hey, there you are. I was wondering what was up with you. I hadn't heard from you in so long I thought you wouldnt be back. How has everything been going for you? I'm still right where you left me. I know, it's disappointing and I know everyone tells me I'm doing everyone a disservice, but I cant help it. It's just not going to happen right now. I hope things have been smooth for you. Please catch up when you can! Jodi

  • Support Groups

    • Close Psoriasis
      Affected Areas: Psoriasis of the Skin

      I've had psoriasis for about 12 years. I would consider it a mild to moderate case.

      Treatments

      Phototherapy Working / Worked
      Tanning helps to clear me as long as I continue to tan.
    • Close Hypothyroidism

      After treating Graves disease with meds for over 3 years, I had my thyroid killed via radioactive iodine. I am now hypothyroid and taking synthetic hormones.

      Treatments

      Armour Thyroid Somewhat Helpful
      Armour was harder to regulate in my system than Synthroid
      Synthroid Working / Worked
      Currently using Synthroid
    • Open Breakups & Divorce

      I'm currently in the middle of my 2nd divorce.

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Not Working
      You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. He went "through the motions" of going a few times but never followed up by using what he'd learned.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Going to personal counseling gave me the tools I needed to deal with the situation from my perspective. I went to personal counseling after couples counseling failed.
    • Open ADHD / ADD

      My 8 year old is ADD. My 12 year old was diagnosed ADD, but has not been medicated for several years and is thriving.

      Treatments

      Adderall Working / Worked
      8 year old is currently using. Very little side effects and it seems to help him a lot. He gets A's and B's in school.
      Clonidine Not Working
      Clonidine was wicked on my daughter. She was only on it for a short time due to hallucinations.
      Concerta Working / Worked
      The side effects were too great (radical mood swings coming down and no weight gain in 1 year) that I discontinued use of this with my daughter.
      Strattera Not Working
      This medicine didn't seem to be very effective compared to the others.
    • Open Child Support & Custody

      I'm currently in the middle of a divorce with my 2nd husband. Biologically, we have 2 children together (ages 6 and 5).

      Treatments

      Cardura Working / Worked
      Court ordered mediation worked for my stbx and myself regarding custody. However, he is now attempting to change what we agreed on. We'll see how it all turns out.
    • Open Pre-menstrual Syndrome (PMS)

      I was diagnosed with PMDD a couple of years ago. I also have thyroid issues so I'm not sure if this is truly PMDD or complications from my thyroid.

      Treatments

      Effexor Too Soon to Tell
      Started Effexor mid April. It seems to be helping but I won't know for sure for a couple of months.
    • Open Bipolar Disorder

      My brother is bipolar. I believe my father was bipolar. I also believe my other brother is bipolar, though he's never been diagnosed. I'm concerned my 12 year old daughter may be as well.
