    About Me

    I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue in 2003 and my life changed completely. Add a food addiction to an illness that basically leaves you bed-ridden and you get a woman that's entirely too large with little to do about it. This is NOT me. I want my life back.

      From angelgrl February 10

      I was reminded of this verse this morning and wanted to share it. I pray you find the peace I did when it was read to me: "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble....The Lord God Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress..BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD." Psalm 46 Hugs, Rhonda

    • Close Food Addiction

      Yeah, it's my story and I'm sticking to it.

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Too Soon to Tell
      Going to start avoiding white flour and sugar. My food addiction feeds off these and causes cravings and urges to binge.
      DailyStrength Somewhat Helpful
      Some great people on here going through the same thing.
      Reading Too Soon to Tell
      Just finished a book called "Locked Up For Eating Too Much" by Debbie Danowski & starting "Why Can't I Stop Eating" by the same author. I highly recommend these.
    • Close Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

      After months of horrible tests and an army of doctors, I was diagnosed in 2003.

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Too Soon to Tell
      Going to start avoiding white flour and sugar. My food addiction feeds off these and causes cravings and urges to binge.
    • Open Sleep Apnea

      I've been wearing a bi-pap for almost 4 years now. While I don't enjoy it, I am used to it now and grateful for some quality sleep.

      Treatments

      CPAP Working / Worked
      By the time I was diagnosed, I was so tired and sick that wearing the Bi-Pap was nothing.
    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Diagnosed in 1996. Been in therapy and on various meds since then.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Finding a good shrink was a long and painful process. Been seeing my current therapist for 6 years.
      Wellbutrin Somewhat Helpful
      It's so hard to say if something is really working, since I'm still depressed.
      Xanax Working / Worked
      Also have Panic Disorder
      Celexa Somewhat Helpful
      Again, I can only assume it's working.
