Open Pet Bereavement
I lost one of my kitties in October. He went into renal failure and we had to put him to sleep because he was suffering. I miss him, and think about him alot.
Open Hearing Loss & Deafness
Type: Sensorineural (Moderate)I'm not deaf, but I am hard of hearing. It makes it tough to enjoy social situations, and hard to talk on the phone. People think I sound funny and act spacey, but I rarely tell anyone why. I'd rather they didn't know.
Treatments
- Ear Tubes Not Working
- Did not work.
- Lip Reading Working / Worked
- Works sometimes.
Open Celiac Disease
Diagnosed as gluten-intolerant and have completely eliminated all gluten from my diet.
Treatments
- Gluten Free Diet Working / Worked
- Works, but is really hard to maintain because they sneak wheat into EVERYTHING.
Open Eating Disorders
I am coming to believe that I am a compulsive overeater. I am trying to find out why and figure out how to stop.
Open Families & Friends Of Addicts
My mother is an alcoholic, and we live together so sometimes it can be hard for me to deal with.
Treatments
- Writing Working / Worked
- It definitely helps having a place to write it out, vent, and get it out when I need to.
Open Abstinence & Celibacy
I have been celibate for 11 years now and could not be happier about it.
Open Diabetes Type 2
Literally every person on my dad's side has diabetes, both types. I thought I'd squeak by, but my last blood tests showed I had high blood sugar, so they are calling it prediabetes and telling me to make lifestyle changes. They didn't tell me HOW, though!
Treatments
- Eating Healthier Foods Too Soon to Tell
- I'm cutting out sugar, and trying to follow a high protein, high fiber, low carb, low sugar diet.
- Physical Exercise Considering
- I know I should exercise more, but it's hard because I have other physical problems that make it difficult.
