What can I say....I hate myself. I have been battling my weight all my life and when I was in my mid 30's I found Weight Watchers and was able to shed over 124 lbs and when I got pregnant with my boys....I gained it all back and some. I can't find it in me to return to Weight Watchers again but I hope to some day.

Open Miscarriage

In October 1989 two days after my 22nd birthday, I woke up in a pool of blood and suffered a miscarriage at 2 1/2 months gestation. At the time I was with a drunk for a husband and 4 states away from home and my Mom. It was also my first move away from home. After all was said and done, my "now X-husband" called his mother and accused me of having an abortion.

Open Anger Management

I have always struggled with anger issues throughout my life. I think my anger stems from my relationship with my father. I was a very angry child who resented the fact that I had such a man for a father and I think some of that is unresolved in my mind and I still struggle with anger. I try to keep it in check but it can be VERY DIFFICULT

Open Painful Intercourse

Open Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

On 8/4/07, I broke my wrist in 4 places & had to have surgery. Since surgery, I have developed Acute CTS due to the injury and they might have to do another surgery. UUGGHH!!

Treatments

Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery Considering

due to a multiple wrist fracture, the dr thinks I have developed Acute CTS and I may need an aditional surgery to decompress the nerve.

Ibuprofen Somewhat Helpful

It aleviates the pain approx. 75 - 80%associated with Acute CTS, but I have a horrible time with the numbness, tingling, stabbing pain as well as the feeling like ants are crawling under my skin. Nor does it do anything for the feeling like blood rushing through my fingers.

Wrist Splint Considering

I think I am going to try a wrist splint because I hear alot of people get some relief espically at night.
