About Me
I am who I say I am: ). Love to communicate, laugh and simply be me. I am a very caring individual, stubborn but am a heck of a good listener and friend. Separated for over 5 yrs., would eventually someday like to find my "Gentleman" or "Sweetheart".

Support Groups
Close Bipolar Disorder
Diagnosed over 8 years ago with bi-polar...level 2. I started with depression meds over 12 years ago. I haven't had support since my grandmother passed away.
Treatments
- Clonazepam Working / Worked
- This has been a wonderful presc. to help sleep and for anxiety. However, I and the Dr. believe this med is making me feel the need to nap daily, very tired and I am not tired of all my memory loss. Was taken off, but then had withdrawls. Back on 1MG, instead of 4MG for sleep and it's working. Will change, once I get my anti-depressant under control.
- Lamictal Not Working
- Worked for many years. Then ended up being at the highest dosage and my body was used to it. Thought it was a big part of my headaches: (
- Neurontin Working / Worked
- UPDATE---meds increased, but doing great. Hmmmm., I don't see anyone mention using this for bi-polar. I use it as a mood stabilizer. switched to this from Lamictal which was working for many,many yrs. Then switched and am slowly being increased. But, it's doing the job: )
- Paxil Not Working
- Made me gain a lot of weight
- Zoloft Working / Worked
- UPDATE-slowly working my way off and going to another anit-depressant. So far so good. Have been on it for years and am on the max dosage. I'm having some downs. Well, as of Jan...Dr. wants to switch. We'll see come my next appt.
- Restoril Not Working
- Supposed to be for insomnianot for me. I could not sleep.
- Lexapro Too Soon to Tell
- Slowing adding this one to my daily dose of pills. Hopefully it will help. So far so good.
Close Sexually Transmitted Diseases - Female
Type: Genital HerpesI don't know where to start. I simply wanted to reply to someone in need. And now I'm here. I have HSV 1 & 2 along w/HPV. I still can't get over having herpes. I find haivng an STD is so HARD to date. There is a brief story.
Treatments
- Colposcopy Working / Worked
- Well, ended up having an A-cone surgery done...and I have been "free" of any questionable exams since. Been over 5 yrs now: )
- L-Lysine Not Working
- Only use it for my HSV-1, the cream. Which I don't find helpful at all.
- Liquid Nitrogen Not Working
- Ended up having to have surgery
- Zovirax Working / Worked
- Very helpful.
Open Sleep Apnea
I was recently tested and took the overnite stay watch alert--lol. I stopped breathing 26 times an hr., never felt rested.
Treatments
- CPAP Working / Worked
- Doing fine: )
Open Restless Legs Syndrome
Oh my...well, I went many yrs w/not knowing what I had. At the time, I was w/my husband and never realized I moved my legs so much at nite. Finally, I couldn't sleep. It kept me up at nite, tossing and turning.
Treatments
- Benadryl Not Working
- tried for a week and completely nothing. Nuts.
- Trazodone Not Working
- Not at ALL
- Klonopin Working / Worked
- Oh yes. However my dosage keeps needing to be increased nite.
