Close Infidelity
I am 38 yrs old, & have been married almost 17 yrs. We have two beautiful teenagers. a 15y/o boy & a 14y/o girl. I found out Apr 10, that my husband had a 4-6 mos affair about 4 yrs ago, with a then close family friend. It devastated me to the point of getting very ill. I have now forgiven him:) I am happier & more peaceful than I have felt in yrs. God is good! He still struggles with what he did. I have faith that we will make it through this. There is hope for those of you still hurting. M~

Close Graves' Disease
I got very ill in May 07. I was diagnosed with severe Graves about 6 wks later. I was put on Methimazole 60mg at first, then slowly brought down. The meds were affecting my liver and WBC, so I had to have RAI on Aug 31st. It went very well. No side affects, felt great, even started a full time job on Sept 25th. RAI is not as scary as the rumors. M~

Open Families & Friends Of Addicts
My Mother is an alcoholic/ drug addict. She has been since I was 2. I moved in with my Grandmother & Uncle at that time. They raised me. She has been in and out of my life since I can remember. Right now things are pretty bad again. I choose to keep my distance when she is using. I think seeing her waste her life has made me a stronger person & a better parent:) M~

Open Healthy Eating
I have always tried to live a healthy lifestyle, working out, running. I have been lucky in that I don't have to worry about my weight. I chose to eat healthy(most of the time:) because it feels better. I have been sick for a few months & unable to work out. I also am probably going to have to start watching what I eat soon, due to thyroid problems. Just trying to get back in the swing of things:) M~
Treatments
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- I work out with weights and run. I haven't been able to work out since April 07. Hopefully I will start again soon;) I love the adrenaline rush I get from a good run or work out:) M~
