  • Support Groups

    • Close Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

      I just found out that I have CFS. I'm not sure how to deal with it or what to do.

    • Close Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

      I have had IBS for almost 9 years now. I have not had much medical help with this. When I first found out I was told to not eat what upset my stomach. I have since tried a few things, but found that learning to deal with it has been the best for me.

      Treatments

      Acidophilus Not Working
      Did nothing for me.
      L-Glutamine Not Working
      Did nothing for me.
      Acceptance Working / Worked
      I have adapted to just dealing with the pain when I have an attack. Since I have other digestive problems & diseases, that is the bast plan for me.
      Peppermint Somewhat Helpful
      Soothed, but I still had attacks no matter.
      Zelnorm Somewhat Helpful
      I never had to worry about getting backed up and the pain that came with that. I always had diareah when taking it, but stopped after several months.
    • Open Anxiety

      I have had anxiety all my life. As a child I would have week long attacks when ever something changed. I have learned to handle it a little better after an almost agoraphobic episode.

      Treatments

      Meditation Working / Worked
      Only always, helps to calm.
      Paxil Somewhat Helpful
      It really helped not have social attacks when I was on a very large dosage, but I gave up my own emotions when I was on this. I stopped and have been able to support myself much better since I had that period that I learned to deal with stuff a little better.
      Wellbutrin Not Working
      This didn't really do anything for me. I was at a low dosage though.
    • Open Obesity

      This is something that I have struggled with since my kids. Put on bed rest I gained a horrible amount of weight. I have had trouble ever since.

      Treatments

      6 Week Body Makeover Somewhat Helpful
      Other health problems always get in the way of long term changes. I did well for about 4 weeks. I did not really loose numbers, but my shape changed.
      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
      Because of my stomach I have given up red meat. At the time I would gain or loose about 40 lbs up and down for no reason. no one ever figured that out, but now I just gain.
      Breast Feeding Not Working
      I had a breast reduction, so I had problems here. I lost 20 lbs from the day of the surgery to the day after though.
      Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
      It helps, I will see a little bit in number loss, but mostly in shape. I have not been able to do this for the past nine months due to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
      Slim-Fast Not Working
      Did not help.
      South Beach Diet Not Working
      Hurt my stomach due to other digestive issues.
      Weight Watchers Somewhat Helpful
      It helped a little. I learn a lot about the fact that you need to eat, it's not about how little or how few calories can you go with. Again, other health issues kept me from paying all that money to see no results at the time.
      Phentermine Not Working
      I have been put on this several times. i feel no different and never lost weight.
    • Open Insomnia

      I have had sleep issues since i was in high school. Now I'm doing ok with meds, but if i do not take them.........

      Treatments

      Music Working / Worked
      White noise is all i need to help. If it's too quite there is no way. it's even hard when drugged.
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      This is an anti-psychotic that helps my restless mind calm so I can sleep. if I do not take this I do not sleep.
    • Open Panic Attacks

      I have suffered form this all my life. As a child I wold get very ill when we happened upon any change. I have learned to deal with it a little better in just the past five years. it's hard, I almost lost my ability to function.

      Treatments

      Paxil Somewhat Helpful
      This is what helped me learn to deal with situations myself. When I was on very high dosages of this medicine, I was able to learn that in certain situations that everything will be ok. I gave up my emotions though. Once I realize how much of a Zombie I was I stopped taking it. I have not needed another drug since. I still have panic attacks, but for the most part I do well on my own.
      Seroquel Too Soon to Tell
      I'm not sure if this has helped at all in the past year. I take this for sleeping. I still have panic attacks, but not as bad as any previous time in my life.
      Psychotherapy Considering
      I would like to get help with learning to not let things keep me in fear or control me. I will probably look into it one day soon.
    • Open Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

      I am asked all the time if I have OCD. I guess I never realized that I may have it. I do to a small extent.

      Treatments

      Paxil Too Soon to Tell
      I don't think this helped for OCD when I was on it. I still had to do things in a certain way, or have things in a certain order. Still do.
      Seroquel Too Soon to Tell
      I'm not sure if this is doing anything for me other than helping me with Insomnia.
    • Open Stress Management

      Yeah, I have issues here. I have such bad stress, anxiety, Panic attacks. Talk about making it hard to deal with life...

      Treatments

      Anger Management Considering
      Stress and small things have started to make me very angry and restless to just do some sort of physical something. Punching a hole in the wall, tossing something across the room, wanting to hit something or someone so bad. I have started to get very angry when stressed.
      Music Working / Worked
      This is my sanity. Driving or at work... I have to have music. It calms me even when I'm not paying attention to it.
      Seroquel Not Working
      I've been on this for a year for sleeping. I'm been getting worse as far as my stress and anger.
    • Open Eczema

      I'm joining this group for my 5 year old daughter who has Eczema with sun sensativity.

      Treatments

      Aloe Vera Somewhat Helpful
      Hydrocortisone Not Working
      Protopic Somewhat Helpful
