    • Close Arthritis

      I was diagnoised with Arthritis when I was 17years old. My condition became more severe when I contracted Lymes Disese in 1984 and developed Lymes encephelitis. The Lymes caused the premature death of my unborn child and the Arthritis went downhill from there. I have had more than 10 arthrocopies, 2 knee replacements and 2 thumb fushions. But I keep on fighting to stay mobile.

      Treatments

      Acupressure Somewhat Helpful
      It gave me some relief for the pain but did not last long enough.
      Arthrotec Somewhat Helpful
      I began to develope some stomach problems.
      Ibuprofen Somewhat Helpful
      Helps to take the edge off sometimes.
      Lodine Somewhat Helpful
      I take it daily but I don't think it helps much.
      Medrol Working / Worked
      I was great while I was taking it but wore off after I stop taking it.
      Relafen Not Working

    • Close Dyslexia

      I am a 52 year old wife,mom and grandmother,my dyslexia affects my vision and hearing. I was told at a young age I would not be able to complete school due to this disability. I proved them wrong, I have a BA in Science, AA in Daycare Management. I also went to Nursing School. It was alot of hard work, but it payed off.

      Treatments

      Vision Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      It took alot of practice and commitment.
      Running Somewhat Helpful
      It helped me to focus.
    • Open Blindness & Visual Impairment
      Type: Legally Blind

      I had significant vision loss due to previous head and face trama, and now I have lost most of my vision in my right eye due to Temporal Arteritis, I just see light and shapes. Im just upset that it took the Doctors so long to diagnose it and caused me to loose my vision more.
