About Me
A good friend once told me to "Seek after Wisdom and Knowledge as if it were Fine Gold" and that is what I am going to do. I have been living with my diseases for many decades and I am not dead yet. Praise God, there is hope for me and everyone else who seeks after the Holy Spirit. I have HEP C, diabetes, spinal stenosis and a bunch of other conditions, but I refuse to be controlled by them. I have lost a husband, a child, and my job of 21 years, and yet I live on. God has blessed me so much I am going to college for the first ime in my life and get my degree in Computer Electrial Engeneering. I live to love and love to live-That is me.
Interests
I love the sun, my house, my cats, Studying anything medical or scientific. SciFi fan big time. I am currently conducting a personal experiment on the advantages of herbal medicine in the treatment of HEP C and other diseases. I like to rebuild computers and other techie stuff as long as it include my friends. I guess I am just blendable or is that bendable, =)

A Creed to Live By Don't determine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special........... Don't set your goals by what others deem important. Only you know what is best for you. Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart, cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless. Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time. you will live all the days of your life. Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over....until the moment you stop trying! Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect, It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other. Don't be afraid to encounter risks, It's by taking chances we learn how to be brave. Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give love the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly and the best way to keep love is to give it wings. Don't dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams is to be without Hope~ To be without Hope is to be without purpose. Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been but also--where you're going.. Life isn't a race, but , a journey to be savored...

Close Asthma
Type: Adult AsthmaI have been a severe asthmatic for decades, but these last 2 weeks with pneumonia has forced me to take 50mgs a day for six days. It really makes my head fuzzy and I am hungry more so as well. I will be glad to end them tommorrow and try to get back to a normal living. I also have 2 different inhalers. It really messes with my diabetes though, makes the glucose so high.
Treatments
- Inhaler Working / Worked
- Qvar is a good compliment to abuterol.
Close Hepatitis C
Hi, I am Hep C positive for over 27 years and I still have not done treatment. The doctors told me I was to depressed to start. I have had every test done each year and I have come to one conclusion. The blood tests vary all the time. I have early cirrhosis and my other labs are still normal. I am convinced after getting my viral load done for the first time that my new doctor really knows his stuff. He told me everything we look at as valuable numbers mean squat as far as the progression goes.
Treatments
- Milk Thistle Working / Worked
- Kept me going all these years, now I do something more extreme
Open Back Pain
I have had spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease since 2000. I have tried everything except surgery and I still only use morphine. I have mid level stenosis now and I hurt even with the morphine but it killed a huge percentage of the pain. I also found a very special doctor who informed me of the organs that control that part of the spine. Liver, pancreas, kidneys, most endrocrine organs are governed by those lumbar discs. I also have advanced HEP C and many other diseases.
Treatments
- Chiropractic Adjustment Working / Worked
- helps to line up the bones better and i feel better afterwards
- Heat Working / Worked
- I use it whenever the inflamation gets to bad
- Morphine Working / Worked
- no side effects with this drug, I can still use low dosages but I am using 24 hour formula twice a day for continued care
- Stretching Somewhat Helpful
- I try to stretch before starting daily chores, helps with the leg cramps
- TENS Not Working
- did not even touch the pain center in my spine.
Open Fatty Liver Disease
I am 52 and I love life because my Father in heaven gave me this web site and all you cool people to have as friends. I have had NASH probably since late 70's and it has taken my fibrosis to early cirrhosis now. Hep C for 27 years, I live now to help others like myself find peace through all this chaos
Open Diabetes Type 2
Put on novolin 70/30 twice a day since Feb this year. I am insulin resistant and also have brittle diabetes. I currently am trying an herbal formula to lower my dosages and it has worked great.
Treatments
- Dietary Modification Working / Worked
- Total diet switch, less carbs, little processed sugar, trying new method of eating
- Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
- Switched to fresh fruits and organic vegtables. No red meat and limited fats
- Insulin (Regular and NPH) Working / Worked
- Was very difficult to get balanced but after the doctor gave me a dosing chart I managed to work it out. Now my units are smaller because of new herbal treatment -swings high low easily
