    About Me

    I enjoy spending time with my family. I love animals, I have three dogs and one cat. I believe when you help others you ultimately help yourself. I try to stay positive and surround myself with the same.

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I was diagnosed with Bipolar Affective Disorder at the age of 24.

      Treatments

      Depakote Working / Worked
      unfortunately I have gained weight, but I have also remained stable.
      Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
      It really helps to have ways to deal with symptoms and how to manage them as well.
      Fish Oil Somewhat Helpful
      I'm not on it on a consitent basis, but I do think it helps when I have tuna or salmon plus I love sushi! hee hee
      Group Therapy Working / Worked
      I've found that it helps me to be amongst my peers who have gone through similar experiences.
      Haldol Working / Worked
      I was on it for 6 months when my mania was at its worse.
      Lithium Working / Worked
      I am currently on Lithium. I believe it has also caused me considerable weight gain, but my moods are pretty stable.
    • Close Obesity

      I have always been a bit on the hefty side, but since I started taking medication I have gained a significant amount of weight. I think I weigh over 300 lbs now which is pretty scary. It also doesn't help that I have hypothyroid disease.

      Treatments

      Physical Exercise Not Working
      I'm finding hard to get myself going. In the past I was much more active, but as of late I don't have much desire for anything.
    • Open Hypothyroidism

      I have hypothyroid disease and I'm not sure if it stemmed from my Lithium intake.

      Treatments

      Synthroid Working / Worked
      It helps in that I don't feel as tired.
    • Open Sleep Apnea

      I have sleep apnea, and I've just started to use my CPAP again. I'm having some trouble getting used to it again so I have to hang in there.

      Treatments

      CPAP Working / Worked
      Worked when I was on it although it made my nose extremely dry which caused nose bleeds.
