About Me
I am a mother of three, grammy of one and wife of an adorable hubby. I love the Lord and try to be still and listen to His voice, particularly in this illness. I am a former IT professional but currently volunteer at my church and take care of my family as best I can. I have a wide variety of hobbies, basically anything to do with art, music, and nature. I'm also on Myspace: myspace.com/tinkerstuff58
Interests
I'm here to hear your stories, offer encouragement and hope to receive some in return.

Support Groups
Close Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
I have a variety of symptoms but my biggest complaint is a total inability to sleep. Whatever hormonal "dance" is necessary is simply not happening. Also find it harder and harder to cope with "normal" stress. Couldn't hold down a normal job if my life depended on it. Felt so alone that I searched the internet for a CFS support group and found you! What a godsend!
Treatments
- Bioidentical Hormones Working / Worked
- Went through menopause "10 years too early" according to OB/GYN. I'm pretty much a naturalist so I didn't want to take synthetic HRT. The bio cream works great; helps me get to sleep and I feel lousy if I miss a dose.
- Klonopin Working / Worked
- Take .5 mg nightly along with OTC sleep meds. Can't sleep without them.
- Yoga Somewhat Helpful
- Trying to get back into my yoga routine. Overdid it for a while and got burned out.
Close Tinnitus
I've had this horrible high pitch ringing in my ears for several years. It's gotten worse lately, esp. when I expose myself to computers (yikes!) and high def TV.
Treatments
- White Noise Somewhat Helpful
Open Menopause
First symptoms began at age 42; last cycle at 45. Don't know if CFS brought it on early or not but I feel like I'm prematurely aging very rapidly.
Treatments
- Bioidentical Hormones Working / Worked
- Black Cohosh Working / Worked
- Estroven Working / Worked
Open Bipolar Disorder
I've always suspected I had BD as I had bouts of invicibility followed by acute depression all my life. But once I went through menopause, the depression (as well as headaches) went away. So I'm not currently taking meds specifically for BD as it isn't as major an issue as when I was younger. But I know it's part of the big picture of my total health.
Treatments
- Holistic Health Somewhat Helpful
- Sugar seems to be a major player in my mood disorder.
Open Caregivers
I'm finding myself in a new season of life by taking more close care of my mother. I've recently moved her closer to me to do so. Daily challenges include both of our failing memories!
