Anxiety Member Introductions

I suffer from depression and anxiety. I want to learn alternative methods of control besides drug intervention.

I have had Lupus since I was 22, and I am now 53yrs. old. I also have Fibromyalgia, and a host of other malady’s. I just like to keep in contact with people who have chronic illness and can relate to all the “bad” day, as well as enjoying a few “good” days, and having someone “really understand” that can offer support, and lend an ear for those days I feel like I need to “vent”.

i HAVE MOVED TO THIS AREA 2 YEARS AGO, AND HAVE NOT REALLY MET ANYONE. I HAVE BEEN VERY DEPRESSED, AND RECENTLY MY DAUGHTER TOLD US SHE IS MOVING AWAY.

I am retired 29years in the Marine Corps. I have been healthy most of my life.I now have pain in my face nose and forehead most of the time.I have been to every kind of Dr. not finding out whats wrong.I have almost givin up .

Just want some more knowledge on depression and ways that people overcome or live with it.

I have multiple lipomas. I need help to reduce it.

My name is Glo,

I am a 71 year old. I was diagnosed with RF in 2005. I have had several surgeries I can’t even keep track. Most of us same to have the same stories.

I enjoy all of the postings. My daughter has been a blessing to have found this site. I wish you all well.

I lost my first Grandbaby to anencephaly in 1996. His name is John Garnet. I know what a struggle it is to come to terms with losing a baby from a Grandma’s point of view. Praise God, I know have two healthy Grandson’s and two healthy Granddaughters. I’d love to offer help, understanding and compassion to others faced with thsi situation.
God bless,

My boyfriend has the condition he also has ied

I was first diagnosed with IC back in the 90’s and opted for a surgery that allowed me to go in remission from re-occurring UTI’s and constant pain for about 4 yrs. IC has slowly crept back upon me and is now in full force again causing extreme pain and I have had 6 UTI’s just this year alone. I am going to a Urologist Specialist tomorrow for my first visit to discuss the possibility of an interstim in my back. Does anyone have an interstim? If so, can you tell me about it? I would appreciate anything else anyone might have to offer about pain management, etc. Thanks.

I was first diagnosed with IC in the 90’s. I went through all of the treatments available at that time and then opted for a surgery that put me in remission for about 4 years. IC has not hit me again full force…I am in constant pain and am trying different treatment options again. I have an appt with a Urologist Specialist tomorrow to discuss the possibility of an interstim for pain management. Does anyone have an interstim? Can anyone share with me what they use for pain management, etc.? Thanks.

AFTER BEING DIAGNOSED WITH PANIC DISORDER IN 1990 AND FINALLY FINDING OUT IT WAS THE HYPOGLYCEMIA THAT STARTED IT ALL . I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE MY STORY WITH OTHERS AND LEARN FROM THEM AS WELL

I am afflicted with this condition, having hard time dealing, need to talk deperately.

I am a single caregiver for my now 4 year old son…dx July 22nd 2004 with “High Risk ALL”…

I have spent the last five years with someone who has NPD.

Hi! I am a SAHM to two sons, Ryan who will 6 in July and Jakob who will be 3 in July.

Jakob has Apraxia, and we have been working with therapists for 1.5 years. I spend alot of time researching, and trying to figure out what is best for Jakey.

I look forward to talking to other parents who are dealing with the same diagnosis.

I Know By Having The Translpant,Crohns & Rhumatoid Arthritis That There Are Supportive Bracelets Out There For Different Diseases. Just Wondering If There Is 1 For Hep C. Thanks!
