    About Me

    A homemaker diagnosed in 1997

    Interests

    Art, I like to draw with pastels, and pencils. I write poetry when it's quiet and there is no one around to bother me. I collect rocks mostly types of crystals, and find out the meanings of them, crystals are suppose to bring pos. energy into a room, so I have them all through my house, to the point og overboard. I collect bibles from different religions, and languages. And my mood lifter loud music. I'm also a gun collector, and I enjoy shooting them.

  • Support Groups

    • Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
      Type: Primary Progressive MS

      dx in 97 or 98 but after I found out I had it, it explained alot of the problems I had been having going clear back to 91 tingling face numbness, and my dr. thought it was stress... Next step they say is to wait 2 months and they will try another shot, right now on none. Because I had bad reactions to 2 in a row real close together.

      Treatments

      Avonex Somewhat Helpful
      felt ill for 4-6 days just in time to take another shot and start all over.
      Baclofen Not Working
      I never saw that it helped at all, no matter how much they increased it.
      Copaxone Working / Worked
      The medication worked well, after 3 years I started having antiphylactic reactions everytime I took shot, so I was switched to Rebif
      Rebif Not Working
      I was already being treated for depression and it sent me into a deeper depression so I was taken off this.
      Keppra Somewhat Helpful
      was having pseudoseizures on top of MS
      Neurontin Not Working
      tried it up to does as high as 1200mg and still no help with my MS
      Topamax Working / Worked
      worked good for head pain, didn't do much for seizures...
    • Close Chronic Pain

      I have MS and also fell close to 10 years ago and have 3 compressed vertebrets, at the time I was very heavy, so I surgery wasn't an option. So I have ESI's every 4 months or so to help some with the pain, and take Hydrocodone,cymbalta which is also suppose to help with my MS depression, and Soma for the spasms with both my MS and back injury. Traveling is the worst to get through sitting for a long car ride, really bothers me.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      seems to help at this time
      Hydrocodone Working / Worked
      take as needed but try not to take too often or it has no effect at all
      Carisoprodol Working / Worked
      it relaxes the muscles when I am having problems with my MS or my back injury.
      Epidural Injection Working / Worked
      they work great but there are risks, and my Neurologist only wants me to have them no more than 3 times a year which sometimes is too long of a wait.
    • Open Migraine Headaches

      I have had migrains for years, my children both have them also. My son can just deal with his most the time without medication, but my daughter hers are bad enough that she has been on medication for several years.

      Treatments

      Fiorinol Working / Worked
      I use to be on fiorinol for the migains when I was younger, but can't remember why I was taken off them.
      Midrin Somewhat Helpful
      This is what they currently have me taking but claim if I take it more than a few times a week it can make the migrains worst instead of better.
      Topamax Working / Worked
      It didn't help w/ the seizures but did the migrains
      Fioricet Working / Worked
      helps more than the amidrin but only seems to help for a while but these have just became this bad in the last 2 weeks
    • Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

      Abused as a child by mother, emotionally and physically if I didn't respond as expected. Was sitting duck for to marry wrong man first time around who abused me even worst. I thought I was leaving one bad situation and ended up into another situation that put me in the hospital 9 times in 7 months. Glad to be away from both, and have a great hubby now who treats me like royalty, spoils me and the kids rotten:) Guess there is a silver lining in every cloud.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      she wants me to go to counciling said she couldn't see why I hadn't gone years ago. But my insur. won't pay for both, so I am trying to talk to others to help.
      Support Groups Working / Worked
      thix has been the best help. I seem to think that by helping others that have been through as much or even more than I have I am helping myself also. I won't quit this.
      DailyStrength Working / Worked
      it helps greatly to hear from others and talk to others and help them on here.
      Abuse Counseling Working / Worked
      it worked but wasn't any better than the support I get here.
