About Me
In January I lost the love of my life, to Pancreatic Cancer. I have had difficulty with depression and grief. I have a daughter and two grandchildren whom I love to spend time with. I love my conure, and two dogs. My spiritual beliefs are around new age thinking. My spirituality is very important to me. It's becoming more important as I go through these emotional struggles.

My animals, reading, visiting with close friends and helping others.

Support Groups
Close Bipolar Disorder
I thought for many years that I had BP disorder, but I was given other diagnoses. Thus, I received ineffective treatments. My symptoms have finally been noticed, since I started keeping a log. Now, I am hopeful that the medications and therapy will help. JP
Treatments
- Anafranil Working / Worked
- Worked well for my OCD, years ago.
- Geodon Working / Worked
- Some nausea at first. But has eliminated the auditory hallucinations.
- Klonopin Working / Worked
- Helps with anxiety and agitation.
- Lamictal Not Working
- Recently pdoc stopped this. It wasn't working.
- Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
Close Schizophrenia
I have had symptoms of bipolar disorder for as long as I can recall. But I have also experienced paranoia. So, I am diagnosed as Schizoaffective, Bipolar type. The Bipolar tendencies have been buried under meds for many years. It wasn't until recently that I started listing my symptoms and shared this with my pdoc that I was correctly diagnosed.
Treatments
Open Fibromyalgia
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 15 years ago. Since, I have been to chiropractors, had P.T. many times, had accupuncture, massages and most recently had an epidural injection to help with the back pain. Now, I'm in aqua therapy. I am hoping this will help.
Treatments
- Acupressure Somewhat Helpful
- Acupuncture Not Working
- Aqua Therapy Too Soon to Tell
- Ice Pack Working / Worked
- Helps for a while.
Open Diabetes Type 2
I was diagnosed with diabetes about six years ago, but was in denial about it. I have been on several meds and now on Byetta. Seems to be helping escpecially now that I have changed my eating habits.
Treatments
Open Pancreatic Cancer
My partner was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It's already metasticized to her liver. I'm scared and looking for support.
