    • About Me

      I am 59 yrs old. Breast cancer survivor 6 yrs. My whole life has been to help children, have my family and protect them. I love to write and paint. Most of all I enjoy time with my grandchildren. I love the ocean, and feeling closer to God when I'm there. I love to sing on the beach, and walk. I love crafts, right now, scrapbooking for Christmas presents. I love being able to talk to the people who need someone to talk to on D.S.

    • Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

      I was repeatedly sexually, verbally, mentally, and physically abused by my mother and brother (6 yrs older than me). my mother has been long dead. she didn't believe me when I told her about my brother. I have spent a lifetime, litterally trying to end this crap that gets passed on into families. Well, I didn't do a very good job. My grandchildren have been telling me stories, that have sent me into a whirlwind of nightmares and flashbacks. I finally called the police about it.

      Treatments

      Art Working / Worked
      Painting, symbolism, drawings of doing horrible things to those that hurt me.
      Paxil Working / Worked
      did not work for me
      Rape Counseling Working / Worked
      worked for what I thought was going to be permanently, only to find out that I have PTDS.
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      didn't work
      Supportive Care Working / Worked
      Pretty much none. my family kind of disowned me when I grew up. My husband and children do not know what's happened to me, in other words they think I'm nuts.
      Zoloft Working / Worked
      seems to helping a little
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      It works, but I am still depressed, alone, angry, resentful and I've been very ill since I got cancer.
      Valium Working / Worked
      5mg at night to sleep it isn't helping.
      Ambien Working / Worked
      10 mg at night to sleep with the valium and it doesn't work
    • Close Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis

      I was diagnosed last year with ulcerative colitis and crohns disease. This was after chemotherapy...my daughter contaminating 88 of my pills I was taking (hopefully an accident) and major stress in my life. I went through a year of non stop vomitting and diarreah. to the point of being dehydrated, couldn't eat anything at all, drinking water even hurt. Most of my days were curled in a ball wishing the pain would go away. The really bad part, my family thought I was faking.

      Treatments

      Asacol Working / Worked
      I noticed when I started a little swelling in my stomach go down
      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
      After being on some meds...I could eat only certain things, like jello, applesauce, soup, NO meats except fish.
      Entocort Working / Worked
      I take one a day and it doesn't seem to help, but when I tried to wean off it, my pain level went sky high again.
      Bentyl Working / Worked
      this helps with the spasms, because AFTER I go to the bathroom, it hurts the worst. each time I go, the pain level rises.
    • Open Breast Cancer
      Stage: IIIB (Any N3)

      I am 57, diagnosed with breast cancer in 2002. I had both ductal and tubular, it spread into three lymph nodes and went into my chest wall. 6 months of harsh chemo, and weeks of radiation. No signs of it back, but I have a pet scan in a couple of weeks.

      Treatments

      Adriamycin Working / Worked
      must've worked
      Arimidex Working / Worked
      still on it, and it seems to work
      Mastectomy Working / Worked
      I had bi-lateral even though only one side had cancer. didn't want to play the game again, so opted to get it off. So far so good
      Radiotherapy Working / Worked
      My skin had absolutely no problems, it was the easiest part for me. nothing I know of has gotten damaged from it.
      Surgery Working / Worked
      must've worked along with the chemo...still clean
    • Open Bipolar Disorder

      I was a wife that cheated on my husband. we are now married 39 years. there were reasons for it, that even I didn't understand at the time. My husband loved me enough to let me go to counseling and he also went privately and we dealt with it all. It was a huge relief to finally tell him the truth about everything and been honest ever since. Maybe it would help you in counseling to see what you can do, or maybe get her to go. I'm so glad you want to work it out.

      Treatments

      Abuse Counseling Working / Worked
      I was sexually abused on a daily basis as a small child for 7 years starting at age 5-6. it can mess up a marriage big time, and I didn't even know it, or know why
    • Open Sexual Abuse

      I was sexually abused as a child from age 6-7 till 12-13. by my older brother, who was 6 yrs. older. we won't talk about the disgusting, things he did. don't want to freak anyone out. I am now 57 and I am having Post traumatic syndrome disorder, so I've been told by a shrink, therapist, hypnotherapist and my dr.s. So...I am beside myself, because I thought I dealt with all this years ago. guess not.

    • Open Dementia

      Hello, I am a wife of 40 years to a man I met at age 14..dated when I was 16 almost 17 then married him at 18. three or four months ago my H was having severe headaches. they did a scan on his head and said there was something there. they weren't sure what it was. but didn't look dangerous! the past month, he's been having small seizures. he's been losing his memory, dillusional, paranoid, in the past (living). tries to get out of the house, got lost several times in the past 3 weeks.
