    • Hug

      From Love4you March 11

      Our love is either rose or thorn. One leaves us whole, the other torn. Which one is which? There is no trick. The first we smell; the second, pick. When we pick love we end its growth. Not just the picked but of us both. Together we must each have 'ground'. That's where love's nourishment is found. Love, Maria

      From Love4you March 8

      I was sitting here all morning and those words came to my mind.I wrote them down.... Miracles are not so rare. They are everywhere. You just have to look around. Your children, your friends, your memories, a bright blue sky, the shining sun, sitting together with your family around the dinner table. Miracles surround you, you only have to look. Playing children, a beautiful sunset, a blooming flower. Just look up to heaven and you can see all the twinkling stars on a clear night. What a beautiful sight. Little miracles are all around us. We see them all the time without even noticing but they are there. Always! I believe in miracles. Love, Maria

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I am 34yrs old and I was diagnosed with Bi-Polar when I was 23. Even though I showed symptoms since I was a teenager. It took a long time to straighten me out on meds but once my docs got me on the right meds I have been pretty good ever since. However I have had many suicide attempts over the yrs.

    • Close Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Parent

      My name is Kara and I lost a sister when she was 15 back in 1985 and I just recently lost my mom in Nov 2005. I have had a lot happened to me in my life and a lot of tragic things but the death of my mom has been the most horrible thing that has ever happened to me ever. I had pretty much gotten over the death of my sister until I lost my mom. For some reason her death hashed up those old feelings that I was feeling with the loss of my sister also. SO now I am grieving the both of them.

      Treatments

    • Open Diabetes Type 1

      I was diagnosed diabetic at the age of 10. After almost a yr of having diabetes my parents handed me full control of the disease. Needless to say being diabetic as a teenager I did not take care of it. So now as an adult I have several complications from it the worse being diabetic gastroparesis which is so severe that I have absolutey no digestion what so ever. I am on an insulin pump which I have been on since Jan 2001. That has majorely helped me to control my diabetes.

      Treatments

      Humalog Working / Worked
      I had no problems with this insulin except that I had an insurance company that would not pay for it and made me change to novolog.
      NovoLog Working / Worked
      Am currently on this brand of insulin in my insulin pump
      Insulin (Regular and NPH) Working / Worked
      Was on this until I went on my insulin pump. I had blood sugars that would go from being 600 one time and then 40 the next. I am a very brittle diabetic
    • Open Chronic Pain

      I crushed my left hip in Feb 2003 due to being thrown 50ft from a van. I developed a calcium deposit where I broke my hip and I have had chronic pain in my hip ever since. I also have sever nerve damage to my stomach from my diabetes and in April 2006 it got so severe that I developed severe abdominal pain with it. So I can not eat unless I am on pain meds
