      From CynthiaJ October 6, 2007

      Aw, I'm sorry you've had such a time of it. I'm doing pretty well on Effexor so far and being more active is helping with the anxiety. I hope you find work soon so at least you won't have to be worrying about bills, etc. God bless.

      From miamidb October 6, 2007

      I was living in Florida, but last December I had to move in with my Mom, who has been really good to me here on Long Island in New York state. I think there is definitely ageism ou there and it concerns me a lot when I consider my future. I am trying to start my life over and it is not easy at age 47. Where do you live? My name is Donna, by the way.

      I'm a single mother of a 24 year old, who gave me a lot of problems in his teens,and my youngest is 15 and lives with.

    • Open Breakups & Divorce

      After 7 years I got left for another woman. I was 40 with a 2 year old. Since my best friend committed suicide, he tried to drive me over the edge by stealing all my things, including my horse (Who I loved almost as much as my kids, and his own son's dog. I went to a support group and they told me it takes longer to get over divorse than death, because of the rejection. Exercise will help you get through it. It's 12 years later, and I'm still lonely, not for him, but just for friends.

      Treatments

      Hormone Replacement Therapy Working / Worked
      It helps alot, I had really bad hot flashes and i gained a lot around the middle. It also helped mood swings.
      Prozac Working / Worked
      Really didn't have any side effects, but didn't help the mood swings and hot flashes and night sweats. I ended up gaining a lot from it, so my DR put me on Hrt and gave me a script for diet pills.
    • Open Head and Neck cancers
      Type: Other

      I have squamous cell carcinoma, but not on my skin, they diagnosed me as I had a biopsy done to see if I had lymphoma. I haven't started treatment yet, as I'm too afraid of the horrible side effects.
