    • Close Hemochromatosis

      Wasn't diagnosed until age 36 and about a year before DNA testing became available. I spent most of my childhood out of school with fevers, various illnesses. Had my first bout with cancer at age 19, cirvical, then again at 24. Was diagnosed with breast cancer at 30. Lost both breasts a year later then had a hystorectomy. I was sick of people calling me a hypochondriac. It was good finally getting a diagnosis.

      Treatments

      Phlebotomy Somewhat Helpful
      Phlebotomy once a week for almost a year before numbers finally came around. At end I was weak, couldn't climb stairs to my bed after a treatment. Thought I would die.
    • Close Fibromyalgia

      Been aching forever, knots in my back that hurt. Was diagnosed years ago with Miyo facial pain disorder. Now they call it Fibromyalgia. Makes sense to me. Trigger points are hell when the doc already assumes you have it without telling you. Thought I was going to drop on his floor when he hit each one with a nuckle!

      Treatments

      Acupuncture Not Working
      Have a problem with metal invading my body, I threw up
      Aqua Therapy Working / Worked
      stretching in warm water feels wonderful
      Effexor Considering
      been on this for years. Don't know if it helps or not. Know the pain doesn't make me want to kill myself anymore.
      Neurontin Working / Worked
      When neurontin and ultram are used together they make a wonderful difference!
      Ultram Working / Worked
      I've been able to escape the pain almost every day with this combination.
    • Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

      I'm a domestic abuse advocate after 20 years of learning to survive and get past it. I'll never get over it. Abuse was by my husband, physical, emotional and sexual. I'm trying to get them to make a domestic abuse community. I'd like to help.

      Treatments

      Abuse Counseling Working / Worked
      Not a quick patch. Takes a long time but worth it.
      Art Working / Worked
      Started with Art Therapy, moved on to being an artist! Now working to become an art therapist.
      Divorce Working / Worked
      Only works if the other person gives up.
      Leave Working / Worked
      Took years and a name change to find security. It's slow and once you leave the work has only started.
      Writing Working / Worked
      I wrote a play about the night everything came to a climax. I felt the weight of the world lift off my shoulders and was finally able to start healing.
    • Open Schizophrenia

      Four years ago my son was diagnosed as schizophrenic. Two years ago we discovered his father had also been diagnosed with it. Today my 22 year old daughter suffered a psychotic break and it's hurting me so much. She's more than a thousand miles from me and I can't be there for her. Nobody here understands the guilt and pain I feel for both of my children. I'm open to any suggestions.

    • Open Dementia

      My husband has suffered several brain bleeds. One was massive enough that they told me he wouldn't live. Over the past few months to a year he has been changing. It's been slow. He's at the point where he's becomming very vocal about racial matters, calls police officers piggies (to their faces!) and has extremely long diatribes of religious zeal.
