Close Fibromyalgia
Dx'd in 1992, after a long long road to finding out what was wrong with me. Many doctors told me I was crazy! I found a very warm and caring Dr., one who's Mother has Fibro so he knew immediately what was wrong with me. I tried to work, but the severe seizure like headaches and the fibro pain caused me to seek out disability. That was a 2 year fight with the government. I have since had to change Drs., due to change in insurance - my new Dr. is very good and is very knowledgable of Fibro.
Treatments
- Aqua Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- Would have like to have continued, dealing with insurance right now to get extended visits. Was only allowed 10 for this condition.
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- This is one of the anti-depressants that we have finally found to help with the depression - I hope it doesn't give out.
Close Arthritis
I have Osteoarthritis in my upper and lower spine. This is complicated by Fibromyalgia and CFS, along with seizure like rebound migraines. I also suffer with depression, but who of us dealing with a chronic disease isn't depressed?? I will never have 3/4 of my life back to what is was..
Treatments
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- Seems to help the depression greatly.
- Oxycodone Working / Worked
- I take 80 mg four times a day. I also have Darvocet for the breakthrough pain.
Open Grandparents Raising Children
I have either raised or like now am helping raise two of my six Grandchildren. They are living with us due to the nasty divorce my son is going thru. Three of the six live with my youngest son and his wife, and we are always be called upon for help in one way or another. I go thru the "What did we do wrong" guilt trip, or is it just todays society? I don't know, I just know one day you're their ANGEL and the next you're an ass. I take it one day at a time with the kids, they will grow up.
Open Diabetes Type 2
Diabetic Type 2since 1992. I am taking Metaformin now and have been on numerous other meds off and on. I have a difficult time with a food plan and control my weight - there by controling my blood sugar levels.
Treatments
- Amaryl Working / Worked
- Had to stop, lowered my levels to a dangerously low level.
- Levemir Working / Worked
- I was put on this for a very short time to get my blood sugars under control about six months ago -
- Metformin Working / Worked
- 1000 mg twice daily - doing ok, but after being on it several years I believe I am starting to see some side affects of long term use. Not sure..
