    About Me

    Well I'm a stay at home mom. I have two kids 22 and 16. I'm in a long term relationship (7yrs now) With a wonderful man who happens to suffer from manic depression/and Bipolar Disorder. Which means so do I. I love to cook and I'm a restaurant addict which goes hand in hand with my weight problem that I've been battling for about 22 yrs now. I have a seizure disorder and suffer from fibromyalgia. Which kept me pretty sick for a long time.So I lost track of most of my friends.I feel like I could just really use some friends who understand what I deal with to talk to.It's been pretty lonely.

    Interests

    I love to cook an collect recipes. I Watch a lot of T.V.an Movies, Scrap book, Spend time with my spoiled rotten cat & my 4 beautiful step grand babies. I like computer games but I'm just learning how to use a computer I'm really new to it. I love to swim and cook out(When I'm able)

    • Close Family & Friends of Bipolar

      Well my boyfriend of the last 7 yrs suffers from Clinical depression/bipolar and I'm the person he's closes to, So I'm the one that gets the worst of it. Lately he's been having the manic mood swings mostly angery for no real reason. He's just been put on a new med to help. I'm there for him. but I go through it pretty much alone it's very hard sometimes!

      Treatments

      TENS Not Working
    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I have suffered from fibromyalgia for about 7 yrs It was completely dibilitaiting for the first 3yrs with alot of trial an erro I've got it where I can do normal things most people take for granted.But I don't sleep and suffer from horrible migraines. With all that said I do try to keep possitive. I have improved so there's hope. And I hope someday they'll find a cure. Until then I Hope to meet people who understand the struggle and build some friendships that can help us all get through it.

      Treatments

      Heat Working / Worked
      it helps if pain is'nt to bad.But it does'nt have long lasting effects. Once you remove it the pain comes back pretty quickly
      TENS Working / Worked
      Didn't work for me. I was alot worse at the time, but after a few mins of use it seemed to make my pain worse.
      Ultram Working / Worked
      This was the only pain medication I've found that does'nt cause an increase in my migrains. I have taken Loratab,Vicadin. They caused migrains so bad I had to be taken off them. So far I have'nt had any side effects from these.
