    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      Husband cheated, was found out - we separated. Reconciled - more than 10 years later he decided that he didn't want to be married anymore. Found out that he had cheated LOTS of times in the past 10 years. Gave me a disease!

      Treatments

      Family Therapy Too Soon to Tell
      Therapy with my son. Only one session since the split.
      Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
      Because they are so angry at my husband, it is hard for me to talk to my friends and family.
    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 1992, when my son was just 6 months old. I have been treating ever since with a great Rheumatologist. It HAS been quite a battle trying to find a combination of medications that help with pain, but don't make me feel WORSE than the fibro! Tried accupunture, chinese herbal medicine, homeopathic, massage, aquatherapy, tens, blah blah blah...right now on flexeril, darvocet, and prozac. I also have vicodin for REALLY bad days!

      Treatments

      5-HTP Not Working
      Acupuncture Not Working
      Aqua Therapy Not Working
      I went twice a week for 3 weeks. The first week I was really weak and tired. The second week I seemed GREAT, then the third week I was weak and tired again!
      Cyclobenzaprine Working / Worked
      Can't live without it. Otherwise, I get horrible muscle cramps ALL OVER!
      Duragesic Patch Somewhat Helpful
      Most of my pain is in my back, so I can't put the patches on by myself. But when they're on, they work well.
      Effexor Not Working
      Made me pretty sick!
      Elavil Not Working
      Made me feel worse than the fibro!
      Dextropropoxyphene Working / Worked
      Helps to take the edge off. Have been taking them for 3 years, and can take or leave them. Not addicting at all.
    • Open Infidelity

      Where do I begin. Husband cheated - took him back. It took some time to recover, but we had a GREAT marriage. On Christmas I found out that he had cheated (with more than one person) in the past year. I can't describe what I feel. It's like a hole in my chest. The worst part - he gave me HPV! I'm hurt and angry, and feel totally helpless.

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Not Working
      It only works if your spouse wants to go, and takes this problem seriously. Apparently, mine didn't.
