About Me
After losing my son I feel like I'm losing my mind. I have a great mask in place so most people don't know. I have a beautiful 25 year old daughter. She is the main reason I'm hanging on right now. I don't want her to know how sad I feel all the time (the mask).

Interests
I used to love nature, taking pictures, drawing, painting, going to plays and concerts at local playhouses. Now nothing seems to interest me.

Hi Honey,
I was really sick for about 10 days. It sucked so bad. My brother is great, but I was sick while I was out there, and I gave it to him. I felt so bad. I'm doing okay. We are so darn busy lately, I just don't have time to get on here lately. I love and miss you. Big hugs! Barbara

Oh, so busy! I'm flying all over the place, helping others. I'm in St. Louis right now. My best friends little boy had surgery yesterday, so she and I are taking turns sitting with him. I miss talking to you. I know that I'm not here as much as I used to be, but I still care. I love and miss you, my friend. B

Close Bereavement
My beautiful 28 year old son died July 17, 2007 in a motocycle accident. He was a B-52 Pilot in the US Air Force. I don't know how to go on. I keep pushing myself through the days, but the emptyness and saddness overcomes me regularly.
Treatments
- Crying Not Working
- I cry often. Sometimes, it's just silly stuff that sets me off.
- Keeping Busy Somewhat Helpful
- helps time pass
- Pets Somewhat Helpful
- part of the keeping busy routine...and they are there when I cry or need a hug
Close Migraine Headaches
I had my first migraine the day my daughter was born - she is now 24 years old. I've had a migraine almost every day since them. Have tried everything out there. Topamax helped, but the blurry vision side effect was too severe to continue it's use.
Treatments
- Acupuncture Working / Worked
- Could get rid of the migraine, but came back almost as soon as the needles came out. My acupunturist moved and I haven't found a new one.
- Fioricet Working / Worked
- Helps bring the pain down to a managable level sometimes.
- Imitrex Not Working
- tried is, but it didn't work for me.
- Magnesium Somewhat Helpful
- Only the slightest bit helpful.
- Maxalt Working / Worked
- Wroked great, but made the mistake of telling the DR my chest felt a little tight and he won't give it to me now
- Midrin Working / Worked
- helps only slightly. Makes my ears ring too
- Relpax Working / Worked
- Worked, but scrambled my brains for days
- Topamax Working / Worked
- Cut the migraines in half, but the side effect of blurry vision was too bad to continue
Open Hypothyroidism
I have had this problem since my daughter was born. I had a bleed out that resulted in pituatary damage.
