    About Me

    I am a woman with a lot of living yet to do, and a disease that keeps trying to slow me down. I have a husband and two wonderful children. I am an educational sign language interpreter. I am also very involved in my church, including the children's and women's ministries. I am just a very outgoing, upstanding, always on the move kinda girl. My style is very relaxed, because comfort is key.

    Interests

    I love spending time with friends and family, making people laugh, reading, and funny movies.

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I'm not sure how long I've really had fibromyalgia, I had a couple of really bad years medically, and then contracted CMV when I was pregnant. I try to not let it slow me down, but I really struggle to stay in the game....

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Not Working
      So far it's only making me sleepy, and I'm up to 90mg
      Yoga Working / Worked
      Helps to relieve the knots, but have to be careful how much I do it, too much is not a good thing
      Prayer Working / Worked
      Just knowing that God is there beside me, coping with me, and hearing my prayer helps.
      Chiropractic Adjustment Not Working
      Pain, Pain, Pain!!!!! Too much pain to say it helped
      Trazodone Not Working
      Did nothing for me
      Effexor Too Soon to Tell
      so far, I have increased energy each day that I've taken it....and am feeling better, but it's still too soon to tell
    • Close TMJ

      After having my son 3 years ago, I had constant migraines for 6 months, I was finally diagnosed with TMJ as well as some other things as a result

      Treatments

      Ibuprofen Somewhat Helpful
      When I get tmj pain it's the only otc drug that helps
      Prayer Working / Worked
      When the pain is bad, it always helps. It doesn' take the pain away, but I cope better.
      Ibuprofen Working / Worked
      Advil is the only otc medicine that helps with the intense pain of tmj flair ups for me
      Physical Therapy Working / Worked
      makes it 90% better, until my next flair up
    • Open Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

      After being diagnosed with high insulin obgyn decided I had pcos, had difficulty getting pregnant, found a great ob, started metformin and was pregnant in no time!

      Treatments

      Depo-Provera Not Working
      Metformin Working / Worked
      Was pregnant in no time after starting metformin!
      Prayer Working / Worked
      God has helped me through some very scary times, and pregnancy. Without prayer, I don't know that I would have made it.
      Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
      A healthy lower in carb diet really helps
      Metformin Working / Worked
      Helps to break up cysts, and helped to prepare my body for pregnancy and sustain the pregnancy
    • Open Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

      Went to a behavioral psychologist for TMJ, admitted mutiple events of sexual molestation as a child and was diagnosed with ptsd, since then I get better all the time.

      Treatments

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
      Admitting what i'd lied about for so many years helped, and then identifying my negative behaviors nad how to deal with them was very helpful
      Prayer Working / Worked
      It wasn't until I started looking to God that I made any progress on recovery from the events that started it all. Without being able to talk to God, my recovery would not continue the way that it has. God is Good!
      Trazodone Not Working
      Wired me for sound!
