    About Me

    Owner a hobby farm, horses, beef cattles. We have over 102 acres of land, so no neighbours. Peace and quiet the way we love it. I have two wonderful children that keeps me young, and a beautiful grandson. If I had to re-do it all over, I would definately go into Liver Medicine. I love and learn something every single day, and for some reason it sticks with me. Love it!

    Interests

    MEDICINE, THE LAW, Horse Backriding, Photography, Internet, I also love renovation shows, real estate has always interest me. I also used to enjoy fishing, snowmobile, walk in the woods, but unfortunately, I've been diagnosed with Chronic Pain Syndrome, along with Osteoarthritis, so those fun days are over. Since being cured for hepatitis c disease, I have been working towards the Cause and done some advacate work on several message boards all over the world. Also Member of a Paranormal website. I've also studied Palmistry years ago. St John's ambulance certified. The hours were longer when we were children. Summer was a time of sunlight, bare feet, and shade trees. We fished in a creek with a crooked pole and feasted on potatoes and onions cooked over an open fire, which the Cherokee calls a tsi la. It was a good time, and we expected everything to be good. There was time to daydream--or hide out in a secret place and be quiet. Now we have less time and more responsibility- -or have we let fear steal our joy? If we let it, it will tell us we can't remember details, we hear less, our vision is blurred and we are afraid of what we see and read. Fear is a contaminate that dulls our senses. But it can't affect us when we turn around and renew and restore our minds. The creek and the sunperch are still there to help. --Joyce Sequichie Hifler We sang songs that carried in their melodies all the sounds of nature--the running of waters, the sighing of winds, and the calls of the animals.

      From 1concernedparent Today

      Hi sweetie, I'm doing pretty good. How have you been doing? I actually lost count on what treatment week I'm on (again) lol. But I know I'm due to be done at the end of September. I'll be getting my latest blood work-up on Aug. 11th to determine if for sure that I will be done (basically as long as I'm still undie, I will be done in Sept).

    • Close Hepatitis C

      Diagnosed in 2000, did treatment pegetron/ribavirin for 48 weeks, since then and now years later, still clear. Both my hubby and I consider ourselves cured of the virus.

      Treatments

      Interferon Working / Worked
      Unfortunately I had lots of sides.
      Ribavarin Working / Worked
      Again had lots of side effects and to this day, still experience long term side effects.
      Interferon, pegylated Working / Worked
      Desperate to get rid of the virus, I took the highest dosage of riba, 1200mgs, and one shot of pegetron a week. Brutal medication
      Paxil Working / Worked
      Started them12 weeks into treatment, should have started 2 weeks before starting the meds. Anti's are a must during Interferon treatment.
    • Close Asthma
      Type: Adult Asthma

      I've had Asthma since age 14, now 46. Just finished a pneumonia, feel much better.

      Treatments

      Inhaler Working / Worked
      I get at least one pneumonia a year. Use three inhalers a day.
      Albuterol Working / Worked
      still need to walk very slowly, easily out of breath.
    • Open Chronic Pain

      A few years ago I went on a 48 weeks chemo treatment, peg/riba, and stayed with some long lasting side effects.

      Treatments

      Paxil Working / Worked
      I first took paxils when I did my treatment, then eventually quit, went back to work for almost a year, and did a burn out, now I'm back on them.
      Oxycodone Somewhat Helpful
      20mgs x 2 a day, not nearly enough but this is the first time I have this kind of meds.

    • Open Smoking Addiction & Recovery

      Just diagnosed with COPD and need to quit smoking. I have a book that my specialist has given me with steps towards being a non-smoker, but I need a good support group to help me as well.

      Treatments

      Nicotine Patch Working / Worked
      For the past week I have put on a 21mgs patch and chew a nicoret gum when I feel like smoking one. Very difficult, but doable.

    • Open Degenerative Disc Disease

      Since I've always work sitting down at a desk, a year and a half ago, I went to see my PCP not being able to stay put, my hip was in such pain. I thought it was the asciatic nerve, so he sent me for a x-ray which revealed that I had several degenerative disc in my lower back. Having multiple chronic illnesses, I am currently on 60mgs of oxcycontin, which relieves some of the pain, but not nearly enought. What to do next, I just don't know? Have been dealing with other tests, next deal with disks

    • Open Arthritis

      After years of living with chronic pain syndrome, finally diagnosed with osteoarthritis, and DDD. Need a knee replacement, and mayby a ankle, and hip. My other knee has water already, so just a question of time. Schedual to see a Rheumatologist in August. Seeking for words of advice when I do have my appointment.

      Treatments

      Surgery, Knee Replacement Considering
      My left knee is finished. Need a knee replacement,but doctors says I'm too young, but it's already spurring so it's just a question of time. Was told to avoid stairways. mmmm
    • Open Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS)

      ok, first off I am here on behalf of my husbands step father. He had been diagnosed with GBS since last fall and they still don't have him on any kind of treatment, so I decided to come and see what would help him. He is scared to sleep at night in case he would paralise up to the chest, so far his legs and mid section below are partly paralised. A very scared man at this point..
