Open Lupus

My mom has had Lupus for many years now and she's been doing great considering...

Open Dizziness & Vertigo

My dizziness started back late Sept.06' lasted for a few months and then once in a while and just last month (June) it lasted for three weeks, Doctors don't know why? So I just deal with it, I don't take any meds for it. I hate feeling like that, it's horrible. Update 2/2008 - It's been a long time since I've been dizzy. Thank God!

Open Family Issues

Well my brother molested my oldest daughter when she was 6 years old and he was 13. I did not find out until my daughter was 18 years old. My family treats him as though nothing happened. Everyone use to think that she was lieing until he confessed to me. But we always believed our daughter, she would of never lied to us about something like.

Open Rape

I was raped at the age of 14 by a married man (friend of the family) and again at 15 by a stranger at a party. I never really thought it was rape. I thought it was my fault. For last several months I've been thinking about it so much, and with the support on DS and God. I realize now it was rape I was only a kid.

Treatments

Talking Working / Worked

Finally wrote it down in my journal here on DS and got feedbacks from good supportive friends. That made me realize I was only a child, it was not my fault.

Open Parenting Teenagers (12-18)

I have a 16 year old daughter she is wonderful, never really caused us any problem, she does not do drugs nor drinks. My only thing is I wish we talked more, I'd like to be close to her.

Open Sexual Abuse

My oldest daughter was molested when she was 6 years old by my brother when he was 13 years old. I had no idea or would I have ever imagined he was family. I did not find out until my daughter was 18 years old. I just about died. I tried to teach my kids from that kind of thing happening. But because it was family she trusted him, not knowing any better she probably thought it was normally. God bless her little heart.

Treatments

Crying Working / Worked

Forgiveness Somewhat Helpful

Open Shyness

Open Financial Challenges

Since 2005 we lost everything twice. Our home, our vehicle, jobs. No fault of ours. The court system made this happen because they believed a person that they knew nothing about tell all kinds of lies about my husband in front of grand jury in another state without contacting my husband so he could defend himself they just decide to arrest him one day from a terrific job that he loved for no reason. And we've been living in hell every since. Now were having to rebuild our life again.

Open Fibromyalgia

I went to the doctors April 3,2008 for joint pain. I told the doctor where it hurt and that it's been going on for a long time now. She thinks I have fibro and wanted me to take Lyrica. I see her again on Friday April 11th for the results of my blood work to make sure it wasn't something else that is causing my joint pain and to see how the Lyrica is working for me. This is all new to me. So I don't know much more than this except I've had the pains for a long time now.

Treatments

Heat Working / Worked

I use the heating pad a lot it seems to help my pain.

Lyrica Working / Worked

I just started this medication April 3 and I've notice a little bit of a change the pain in my knees is not so bad, and behind my neck.
