    About Me

    I was working in the medical field, but no longer able to do so due to the physical demands on my body that it simply will not tolerate anymore. I love camping and the great outdoors. I love to read, go boating, and the like. I do love horseback riding although that is not possible anymore. I will love that until my dying day, and the memories of riding are rather, uh. Interesting, lol.

    Interests

    Reading, horseback riding, the medical field. I love animals, and tried to rescue a baby bunny from a cat the other day lol. I am an interesting combination of lady/tomboy. I can go camping in the day time and be in an elegant evening gown by night.

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I was working in the medical field, as an EMT but unable to meet those demands physically. I once worked a 15 hour shift, and felt like I had been hit by an Amtrak train. This all started with a near fatal car accident back in the 80's and my body has not been right since, and gets worse through time.

      Treatments

      Swimming Working / Worked
      I swim twice a week usually. I also use the hot tub at the facility that I attend and my body does respond to that.
      Celebrex Working / Worked
      This med works better than Ibuprofin when I have to have something stronger.
      Cymbalta Somewhat Helpful
      Honey chile. This med is quite mean to me. Makes me exhausted but wont allow me to actually sleep. Grrrrrr.
      Orthopedic Brace Working / Worked
      Does not make me sleepy but will if I am sleepy already. It does seem to alleviate discomfort though.
    • Close Physical & Emotional Abuse

      Grew up in an unsafe household. Did go to therapy many yrs later to eliminate the rage that eventually came over me. Went through a few therapists unti I found one that was off the hook.

      Treatments

      Abuse Counseling Working / Worked
      Both parents were verbally and physically abusive, mostly to me only. They never wanted a girl but yet kept making babies. I paid the price for being a girl.
    • Open Family Issues

      Well I have a page already in ref to being verbally and physically abused

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      All of this info is on my page. Both parents have a dual personality which is typical of abusive people. I have extricated myself from them to save myself.
    • Open Chronic Pain

      I have chronic pain due to fibromyalgia. I also have had numerous injuries in the past in which fibro goes into every spot previously injured, and has a field day.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Somewhat Helpful
      I will take this sometimes but it makes me terribly sleepy but wont let me sleep.
      Orthopedic Brace Working / Worked
      This works although I would like if it made me sleepy. Works best if I am sleepy already.
    • Open War & Terrorism

      I grew up with violence, that was permitted to permeate the home that was supposed to be my safe haven.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      We talk about what happens when people become violent adults, but we need to focus on them BEFORE they become dysfunctional adults.
    • Open Breakups & Divorce

      I have a history of selecting people who are empty and emotionless. I do hope that happiness lies ahead though..

      Treatments

      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      Without my friends and the abusive situations I have been in, no telling where I would be today
      Support Groups Working / Worked
      Went to a church support group after dealing with Dr Jekyl/Mr Hyde
    • Open Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Relative

      Everyone has lost someone special at one time or another.

    • Open Coming Out

      I have always had a connection with folks of different interests and backgrounds. I also know how society treats people who are outside the norm...bec I have been treated like that also my entire life

    • Open Lesbian Relationship Challenges

      Hmmm. Not sure where to go with this one. I have been traumatized my entire life by males and frankly, dont have much respect for them. Although I have never been with a woman I do feel safer with them to some extent emotionally.

    • Open Sexual Abuse

      I grew up in a very abusive, violent household. Went from that to abusive relationships. Got manipulated, tricked, lied to, just for them to get sex. Also got verbally and physically abused in relationships as well.

      Treatments

      Leave Working / Worked
      The sexual abuse or freakiness started when I was a teen and a man was getting turned on watching me use the restroom. He was an adult and I was a young teen. No one in my fam knows about this or the other events that soon followed.
      Talking Working / Worked
      I did seek therapy but it takes a while to find one that is not warped also. Finally found an excellent one but many events have occurred since then.
    • Open Miscarriage

      I have lost a child but it was through my job.
