Close Hypothyroidism
hello ladies. My name is Beth and i was born without 1/2 of my thyroid gland. I have been struggling with my weight ever since I had my sons. It has been an up and down struggle for yrs maintaing a level TSH level.
Treatments
- Synthroid Working / Worked
- I have been on so many different doses tring to regulate it that I have lost count. Right now I take 2.0 my and 0.25 mg once a day in the morning. My TSH levels have been up and down for awhile and then even out and go out of wack again. I have had this disease since I was born. I have had dry skin, my hair has fallen out and I am just plain depressed and anxious at times.
Close Child Support & Custody
I have two boys, age 17,and 19. they live with their father and step-mother. She has made my life a living hell since she stepped foot into their lives. I love my children very much, but she makes it impossible to try and stay sane with all her demands. Please help and offer any advice. I'd be willing to listen to anyting that will help me deal with her.
Open Breakups & Divorce
I am 42 yrs old and have been married twice. I have been on both sides of this spectrum and I can tell its not fun. I did the unthinkable and cheated in my first husband, out if anger, desperation and I have paid for it. My second husband cheated on me. It has taken me almost 6 yrs to heal. I still have not entirely broken down the wall around my heart and I don't think I ever will. I am in a great relationship now, but I don't ever want to get married again. I will talk to anyone that wants to.

Open Military Families
I have a 19 yr old son in the United States Navy. I am so very proud of him! I miss him so while he is gone. He is a Nuc or as he says, a Super Geek! He will be going into Submarines soon. That part scares me silly. Other than that I know that he will be a damn good sailor!
Open Physical & Emotional Abuse
I was a teenager when my stepfather at the time molested my phyically and sexually. My father and my first husband emotionally abused me also. I never felt as though my father loved me, just my twin sister. He had several health problems, not the least was dementia and several strokes. So needless to say we never made peace with each other. My stepfather was an SOB. I hated him. He beat my mother and me. He was a drug user and abuser. He died in prison. I still have to deal with what he did.
Open Migraine Headaches
I stated getting migraine after my stepfather physcially abused me. They are very dibilitating at time. Photophobia, nausea,vomiting, unable to think sometimes it hurts so much.
Treatments
Open Dizziness & Vertigo
I have had dizzy spells for the last week or so and thought it was my blood pressure being to high and low and behold it was vertigo no the blood pressure. Right now the dr has me on antivert and so far so good.
Treatments
- Antivert Working / Worked
- so far it is working, but I can tell when it wears off and I need to take another one
