    About Me

    I am here to get help and to help if I can. If you want to know anything about me I haven't already shared message me. I'm a recovering alcoholic and addict, I have 2 types of depression, a personality disorder, PTSD, insomnia, anxiety, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, IBS, etc. Other than that like I said message me. My dad committed suicide 09/12/05. My stepmom accidentally overdosed on his medication 05/05/03 cause it looked just like a new prescription she had gotten and the guilt and how much he missed her was too much for him. I'm still not dealing with it very well. Some days are better than others though.

    Interests

    Reading, watching movies, sleeping when I can, spending time with my kids and my honey, driving and listenning to music.

      I've had acid reflux for years. I inherritted it. Among other things. Had to sleep sitting up in a recliner for 2 years until I could discipline myself to take my meds like I'm supposed to and stay away from foods that aggravate it. My mom was just diagnosed with diverticulitis and she is having a hard with the diet restrictions. She says she knows how I feel now though.

      Treatments

      Aciphex Not Working
      Quit working.
      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful
