About Me
I have 8 chronic illnesses or ailments at present. Narcolepsy is the big one, can't work and always tired and sick. I try so hard to be happy with life and my lil sister who has cerebral palsy. Love my friends and helping where i can. I think that life is a privillage not a prision sentence and that people need to laugh every day.
Interests
Love animals, life and sci fi but not all at once lol. Live my life to different music tracks, if you know instantly what that means then i am not alone. Love the internet and meeting new people even in the middle of the night

Close Narcolepsy
Was misdiagnosed with about 5 different mental illnesses before i was tested for narcolepsy. My main problem is cataplexy and its so bad i can't work. i sleep during the day as it helps with the cataplexy. i get sick all the time and never sleep.
Treatments
Close Menopause
when i was 26 my periods changed and i was diagnosed with early menopause. Now 8 years later and many drs past, it is totally official i have menopause!!! like the hot flushes and unpleasent symptoms weren't a dead giveaway. nothing has really helped with the symptoms but most have gone away now, but have a new problem, post menopausal bleeding, oh joy
Treatments
- Estradiol Not Working
- made me feel sick and generally unwell
- Estrogen Patch Working / Worked
- worked for a time, cost prohibitive
- Progesterone Not Working
- didn't work or change a thing
Open Obesity
I have yoyoed my weight for so many years, i was slim till i was 17 and put on 50kgs which i then used bulimia and anorexia to lose. 10 years ago after yet another horrid male i decided to put on my protective coating, some call it 70kgs. Now i have dealt with most of the baggage and want to lose weight but its harder as i have ruined my body
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Not Working
- Jenny Craig Working / Worked
- became bulimic and anorexic to help my weight loss, the programme works but the cost is high.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- cost prohibitive and my lifestyle and many illnesses won't let me continue this
- Weight Watchers Working / Worked
- helped immensely, it was one of the gateways to my eating disorders
- Sleep Working / Worked
- Not kidding studies have proven that if you get enough sleep weight comes off. once i got my CPAP machine for sleep apneoa I lost 22kgs and did nothing different but sleep!!!
