    • Close Sleep Apnea

      If I wasn't sent to a specialist about my sleep habits by my therapist I don't think I would be alive today. As the CPAP machine has kept me alive today.

      Treatments

      CPAP Working / Worked
      My headaches and the feeling of my head going to explode have deminished.
      Lose Weight Not Working
      I have tried the South Beach Diet and it doesn't seem to be working. I lost 5 pounds and then put it back on, what a yo-yo ride....:(
    • Close Menopause

      I had perry menopause for a long time and now I am in the menopause stage. At least I don't have to worry about my period anymore. Just hot flushes once in a while.

      Treatments

      Evening Primrose Oil Somewhat Helpful
      This has been helpful to ease up on the intensity of hot flushes.
    • Open Fibromyalgia

      I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia after being sent to a specialist and when he pressed each pressure points I couldn't help but cry. My world is inside out and very different than the normal person's lifestyle.

      Treatments

      Cyclobenzaprine Working / Worked
      this helps when I have a flare-up of my lower legs.
      Heat Working / Worked
      I have a massage heating pad and I find that this helps on bad days.

      I just came back from the doctors and I am diagnosed with type 2 diabetes......I am in shock and very overwhelmed now...:(

      Treatments

      Drinking Water Working / Worked
    • Open Stress Management

      what can I say but would you classify having fibro, a sleep disorder, insomnia, lichen sclerosis, and now T2 diabetes enough STRESS to have? I think so.

      Treatments

      Emotions Anonymous (EA) Working / Worked
      After attending EA for quite some time and have a 3rd Step person help me through my life's problems, i have moved on with my past issues and deal with the issues in the moment.
      Music Working / Worked
      I find that listening to soothing music helps with everyday stress.
      Patience Working / Worked
      I practice patience when things are very stressful by reading the Bible and having a quiet place to reflect on things.
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      Although my Fibro doesn't permit me to do extensive exercise at least i can get out and walk which is a big deal for me.
    • Open Dizziness & Vertigo

      I have vertigo today and it's not a nice thing to pop up in one's life. I am thankful that the doctor did give me medication to help with it. Always looking for support when it hits just to keep from it getting out of control or when is it time to go to the hospital.

      Treatments

      Betahistine Somewhat Helpful
      Its helpful as much as it can be as this medication does keep me from becoming sick to my stomach because of the dizzies and spins.
    • Open Meniere's Disease

      I didn't think that i have meniere's disease but this is associated with Serc medication of treating vertigo. I am so frustrated at all these diseased in the world that I need support just to cope for today...

    • Open Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

      I have fibro and IBS i think comes along with this as it's been really uneasy lately to cope with all the pain i am having. I am not sure what medications could be given to me but I will find out more information here as this is a great place to be and have support when you need it.
