Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
On March 10 2006 a man slipped into my home while I took out trash. I was home alone that night. He attacked me from behind, putting duct tape over my mouth and a rope around my neck. He held a knife to my forehead while he quietly asked me "what it was like to know how easily my perfect life could be taken from me." He beat me and pulled me to the ground with the rope. As he got to the ground over me, my two dogs attacked him.He ran. I never saw his face,but he continues to stalk me today.
Treatments
- Art Working / Worked
- For me painting,drawing and creating have been a life line. I could still make something beautiful.
- Supportive Care Working / Worked
- It took me about 5 months after my assault to realize that I needed help. I was becoming so hollow. My therapist has helped me in more ways than I can name.
Close Migraine Headaches
I tried this site in hopes of getting some help with my PTSD after a very traumatic attack about a year ago. But chronic headaches are something I have been living with for five years. The pain can be dehabilitating, agonizing - words can't really describe. In addition I feel like I've spent much of these years of pain being a human experiment; pills, etc.
Treatments
- Aspirin Not Working
- No difference.
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- I did find that any type of artificial sweetener can be a trigger for me.
- Fioricet Not Working
- Didn't do a thing.
- Imitrex Not Working
- Very ngative experience, made me very ill.
- Chiropractic Adjustment Somewhat Helpful
- I've only begun this treatment a month ago, so a bit soon to tell. But the muscle tension in my neck and shoulders seem to be easing slowly.
Open Parenting Toddlers (1-3)
I have identical twin daugters that are just about to turn two. Twins are a challenge, but it's all my husbund and I know. I'm a stay at home mom, so they are my full time job and my life. I'd really like to connect with other moms in an open and honest environment.
Treatments
- Attachment Parenting Working / Worked
- Since I am home with them all day, it can be a bit trying at times. I miss having a more grown up life. But they are thriving and so happy, it makes it worth it for me.
- Education (School) Working / Worked
- I spend a lot of time on projects and activities that are very education oriented. It is going very well for us, we are thinking of home schooling them. Still undecided.
