    • About Me

      I am a lover of books, nature, family, and the spiritual realm. I desire to experience and connect with ideas, people, and energies in a positive way. I am one who wants to know the meanings of things. I am an eater of french fries dipped in icecream on one hand and a lover of vegitarian delights on the other hand. I love simple living but complex exploring.

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's--autoimmune hypothyroidism, a hormonal imbalance, perimenopause, and Bipolar NOS(Not Otherwise Specified) I had a serious enough low last year to seek help. My manias are hypomania and therefore harder to recognize. Meds and therapy have helped but I still slip off stable enough to remind me I am bipolar. My husband won't accept it even though he is loving and supportive. My physicians won't confirm or deny it completely. The battle is my own. It gets hard.

      Treatments

      Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
      It is giving me new skills to try on old problems. I see I am not alone in my struggle. My acceptance of my condition and myself has increased.
      Fish Oil Working / Worked
      This has improved my overall health. I am convinced that it assists the brain in healing.
      Hormone Replacement Therapy Working / Worked
      High TSH, normal T3,T4. Taking 75 mcg synthroid. This up from 3 weeks ago. Was on 50mcg.
      Lamictal Working / Worked
      I am very chemical sensitive. I took going up on this med very slow. 100mg is good enough to bust most of the blues. I felt it work the first day.
    • Close Hypothyroidism

      Recently diagnosed with Hashimoto's. Blood levels for thyroid hormone still being worked out. Being treated for bipolar and progesterone imbalance that interacts and contributes to each other.

      Treatments

      Synthroid Working / Worked
      Started on 50mcg then to 75mcgs. Helps get rid of inner shakes and I can get up most mornings!! Still have erratic levels. Blood test every 4 weeks.
      Hormone Replacement Therapy Working / Worked
      Taking Compounded Progesterone to help correct other homonal balancces in my system.
