About Me
I'm a Christian, housewife and a mommy of a 2 1/2 year old. And somewhat of a hippy. That's all I know for sure, right now.Oh yeah, and I like to sew my own clothes and I like old fashioned stuff too! Some times I write fiction. Shtiya means "my strength". It supposed to be an Eskimo name for a sled dog, but I just like it.
Interests
The Bible, history, gardening, music, learning how to do things that are difficult, etc.

Hug
It doesn't look good, trust me. A lot of it depends on where the weight is carried, how tall the person is, et cetera O.O It doesn't work so awesome for me. But we'll get there!

Support Groups
Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Type: Relapsing-remitting MSI had problems for a long time and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. I finally went to the dr. when I started going numb on my left side and stumbling. I was so glad to find out something! That was 3 years ago. I found out about the MS the same time I found out I was pregnant with my first child!
Treatments
- Aqua Therapy Considering
- I think this might feel nice, anyway. :)
- Copaxone Not Working
- the shot hurt and it's real hard to get motivated about giving yourself a shot everyday. It didn't help at all. I had more relapses when I was on it than when I was off.
- Physical Therapy Considering
- My neurologist suggested this for me. I wonder what kind of physical therapy they're talking about? I think it would really help if I got out and started moving around more!
- Prednisone Not Working
- My neurologist prescribed this for me when my left eye went all blurry. (Optic Neuritis) I got the pill form and then the IV form...neither one helped at all and I felt really bad after the IVs. I thought I was going to start growing a beard too! Ha, ha! (watch the movie Blood Work, then you'll get it)
- Provigil Working / Worked
- seems to work. Been alternating between this and coffee.
- Rebif Working / Worked
- just started Dec. 27th. Doesn't hurt as bad as Copaxone. Seems to be working okay, but the side effects aren't fun.
- Swimming Considering
- I would if I knew how! :D
Close Parenting Toddlers (1-3)
I have a two year old daughter and I knew/know NOTHING about children. Help me!!!
Treatments
- Patience Working / Worked
- Works sometimes. When I can have patience, not being tired or depressed or what ever happens to me.
- Positive Reinforcement Working / Worked
- Positive reinforcement for who? Me or my daughter?
Open Diets & Weight Maintenance
I've been overweight since I was ten years old. I've been trying to lose weight since I was twelve. I use food as a comfort, so that explains a lot about me. I don't know what to do anymore about losing weight. When I get emotionally upset, I overeat. And I get upset a lot.
Treatments
- Eat Less Working / Worked
- It was working. First I lost my appetite, then it came back with a vengeance!
Open Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
tried to kill myself on pills. went to nut hospital and found out this was my problem, due to sexual assault when I was a kid.
Treatments
- Keppra Too Soon to Tell
- psych prescribed this to me.
Open Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
tried to kill myself w/overdose. psych says i have some of this too.
Treatments
- Keppra Too Soon to Tell
- I dont know. Im just sleepy.....
Open Bipolar Disorder
Hello, fellow bipolar-ers! :)
Treatments
- Depakote Not Working
- Caused me to stop obsessing so frequently, but I can't tell any thing else. I'm still obsessing, like I used to, it seems. I just haven't taken it very far, like I used to.
- Keppra Not Working
- I dont think this was prescribed for the bipolar cause it aint working if it was! got a few other problems too.
Open Depression
I just want to sleep.......
Treatments
- Prozac Somewhat Helpful
- I wish they'd prescribe me something that works better than this.
- Writing Working / Worked
- How's this for ya? Was feeling suicidal a few weeks ago, wrote about my problems in my journal on here, didn't get any help from anyone, went through with the whole suicide plan. Didn't work (duh!), sent to the nut farm, now I'm back home. And I must say, very confused.
Open Home Schooling
I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter. I want to home school her through the K12. org virtual academy, but I'm a little unsure about it. She's an only child and I don't want to deprive her of anything. Then again I want to teach her Christian values, which she can't learn in public schools. I just don't want to isolate her.
Open Pre-menstrual Syndrome (PMS)
My recent PMS has been wrecking my life! I can't take medicines like Midol and so forth, so I just don't know what to do!
Treatments
- Midol Not Working
- Anything that makes me sleepy really throws me for a loop. This stuff made me feel horrible!
Open Infertility, Secondary
I don't know if I'm in the right support group. We have a healthy two and a half year old daughter, but after she was born I became ill mentally and physically. I wanted another baby now that I am feeling much better, but at my doctor's appointment, I was told that getting pregnant again wasn't a good idea. That I would have a very high risk, dangerous pregnancy. My husband has the same view as the doctor. I feel as if no one believe in me or either I am in denial. I just don't know what to do.
