Close Mitochondrial Diseases
Diagnosed with Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy MELAS on 5/22/07 based on clinical symptoms and family history. My health has deteriorated rapidly in just a few months. By a miracle of God I did get approved for long term disability by my private insurance and Social Security. I am in desperate need of a Mito specialist.
Treatments
- Prayer Working / Worked
- Spending time in prayer and praising God with my guitar helps me keep my focus on God and off my deteriorating health.
Close Breakups & Divorce
I was previously married 20yrs. My husband left 6.5 years ago. We divorced three years later. My kids are now young adults but were definitely affected by it. There dad does not see them often. I am still single and hoping to someday meet someone to share my life with. I am now disabled and unable to work, drive, walk, or cook. I am homebound unless someone takes me out.

Open Fibromyalgia
My mother and grandma were diagnosed with Fibromyalgia years ago. I have chronic fatigue and pain if I use any muscles. I also have extreme muscle weakness and can't walk wihtout a walker. I have not been diagnosed with Fibro but could very well have it. I was diagnosed with a Mitochondrial disorder by my old Neuro.
Open Anemia
Type: Iron Deficiency AnemiaI just got diagnosed with severe iron deficency anemia.
Treatments
- Iron Not Working
- Didn't work. So did IV Iron.
Open Dizziness & Vertigo
Was having episodes of vertigo/dizziness monthly, then weekly and now daily. I have not had a dizzy free day for 1.5 yrs. I am 100% disabled now due to the dizziness. I no longer drive and use a walker for balance. Dr.'s now think it is due to a Mitochondrial disorder called MELAS (symptoms like MS). First thought to be an inner ear problem. One Dr. said it was from anxiety. I have brainstem conduction delays and demyelinating of nerves. I have syncope and near syncope often.
Treatments
Open Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
I have a neurodegenerative disease called MELAS. I have all the symptoms of MS but nothing showed up on MRI or Spinal Tap. I did have an abnormal BAER and SSEP test.
Treatments
- Prayer Working / Worked
- Spending time with God helps me to keep my mind of my symptoms.
