    • Close Twins, Triplets & More

      I am a soon to be single mom of twin girls. The father decided he does not want anything to do with my girls and I have decided that is the best choice. I am 26 weeks pregnant and I am not going to ask this dirtbag for child support. He was a great guy until we found out I was pregnant.

    • Close HPV

      I found out I had HPV and Herpes and also found out I was pregnant in 2004. I had a miscarriage because the initial outbreak was the worst. I have been on suppressive therapy since 2004 I take valtrex daily and have not had any symptoms for quite a long time. I think I had 2 outbreaks last year and none so far this year. I am glad to though that I have not had any because I am pregnant with twins right now. As far as the HPV goes I get a colposcopy every 6 months.

    • Open Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

      I have PTSD from my tour in Iraq in 2004-2005. I have come to terms with it and don't deal with it daily but it has given anger issues. It hits suddenly to and comes with panic attacks. I have taken effexor and sleeping pills to help and they did help when I first got back from deployment. But I have not taken them since last year and and i'm doing good now just taking anger management classes and counseling to deal with the anger and bouts of depression. I have found a really good counselor.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Counseling has helped alot I have not been depressed in months....
    • Open Depression
      Type: Seasonal Affective Disorder

      I have been dealing with depression since I was about 12 years old. I used to cry myself to sleep when I was little because of my family problems. I had to grow up quick because I had to take care of my little brothers. I have since been in counseling and it has helped dramatically. I think that the depression is seasonal but also brought on by many things. I am worried that I may get post partum after my girls are born because I am in high risk for it. My mom is bipolar so that explains it.

      Treatments

      Effexor Working / Worked
      I used it it helped but I am not on medication anymore.
    • Open Back Pain

      I have been dealing with back pain since I was in Iraq. Due to my weight gain and accident I had in Iraq and my breasts got bigger. I had a breast reduction to help eleviate the pain i went from a 36 E to a 36 C and it helped for a while and they are now almost 36 DD's again because i'm pregnant. When I got x-rays they told me I had minimal scoliosis and gave me pool therapy and physical therapy. They helped with flexibility but not pain. In 3 months I will resume therapy and pain management.
