    About Me

    I'm 18, married for three months b4 I realized I made a wrong decision. That whole story would take a long time to explain. But long story short, he was abusive and I finally left. I moved to a new town and found an excellent job. That's about all I could ask for but things are still tough.

    • Close Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)

      I have PKD. My brothers, sister, father, grandfather, aunts and uncles on my father's side, all have PKD. My grandfather died from it. My father is dying from it right now. I am the youngest of all my syblings. My oldest brother is 16 years older than me, my sister 8, my other brother 4. Yet, I am in worse shape than any of them.

      Treatments

      Methyldopa Working / Worked
      I was given this so I could get pregnant without worrying about a blood pressure medicine that could effect the pregnacy.
    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Was diagnosed at 16 after they discovered I had PKD (the whole realization that death is inevitable and it will happen to me slowly and painfully kind of kicked the depression into high gear). I've been on at least 8 different kinds of medicines for depression, none of which have really worked for me, besides Prozac.

      Treatments

      Celexa Not Working
      This stuff didn't work.I took one pill and was awake for two days straight, idk why.
      Cymbalta Not Working
      Worst two weeks of my life. I had every side effect possible. My whole body was numb at all times. I hate this stuff.
      Lexapro Not Working
      Made me too sleepy.
      Prozac Working / Worked
      This is the only thing that has worked for me, with no side effects!!
      Seroquel Not Working
      Bad side effects.
      Trazodone Not Working
      It just made me really sleepy and cranky.
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      I took this for a while, and i did okay on it, but they tried to raise my dose b.c they discovered that I have ADHD and when they did that I had severe hallucinations
      Zoloft Not Working
      Another bad experience, I don't even want to talk about this one.
    • Open ADHD / ADD

      Recently diagnosed with ADHD. The doctors are scared to put me on ADHD medicine because of my kidney problems.

      Treatments

      Focalin Not Working
      They tried this, it made me sick so I didn't take it. And it made my kidneys hurt.
      Wellbutrin Somewhat Helpful
      They tried to raise my dose and it gave me bad hallucinations.
    • Open Prescription Drug Abuse

      Darvocet, Vicodin, Percocet, I can't help myself. I can't stop the cravings, they take control.

    • Open Miscarriage

      4 miscarriages over the past 3 years. 3 of them where in the past year. I can't seem to carry past 8 weeks, the drs think i have 'protein s' deficiency, but no tests have been conclusive yet

      Treatments

      D&C Working / Worked
      I had this for the first time. I hated it, but its not as bad as the torment of knowing i have a fetus inside me that is no longer living and waiting for it to come out naturally.
