If anyone has questions for me, please feel free to ask.

I have had chronic, recurrent depression for over 25 years; among other problems. Other communites aren’t active at all, some of them. I am also interested in other areas.

Hi-

I am the parent of a wonderful daughter who was diagnosed with iritis almost 2 years ago. I was seekinginformation about this condition because I had never heard of it and found not many people had.

I have this condition and have never met another person with it, so this community is very interesting.

I like to chat with others so I can learn how to deal with my situations, I had other chats and it helped me a great deal knowing Im not the only one that down. Maybe I can get some feedback on this site.

I came down with Bacterial Meningitis in 2001 just one day shy of a month after the 9/11 attacks. I’m fully recovered but with long lasting physical scars. I’m hoping to meet more people who have come through such tough times and still remain okay.

hi, I am Michele, a mother of 3 with my youngest being born with bilateral clubbed feet.

I’ve been struggling with OCD since SIX YEARS OF AGE… at a time, BEFORE anybody HAD A NAME FOR IT, or, KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT IT; except for “Dr. Freud”… who thought that: “it HAD SOMETHING TO DO… with TOILET TRAINING in MEN!!!” But then… with “Dr. Freud” IT’S ALL… either ORAL or ANAL!!! 8-)))

In addition… i’ve: BEEN “FEATURED” on ABC TV’s 20/20… i was the SECOND HOARDER… that they EVER HAD ON THE SHOW… nearly 15 YEARS AGO!!!

i’ve been the “resident expert”, in numerous online support groups… many, based in England… and some, in the midwest…

i’ve also been on DOZENS of SSRI medications… some, with DISASTEROUS OUTCOMES (suicidal ideation, extreme weight gain, dehydration, worsening of conditions, etc, etc)… and, CBT programs… with LITTLE or NO positive results!!!

and now… i’m here!!!

We have a 16 month old daughter, Maya with an hemangioma on (in) her upper lip. She’s had it since about 3 months old. Nothing has really worked and so now we are awaiting a plastic surgeon appointment.

Hi. My name is Alisha. I was diagnosed with moderate neutropenia last year (ANC about 1.0). Before the diagnosis, I had never heard of neutropenia before. I am not taking the Neulasta, but may begin treatment shortly due to recurrent infections.
I’m happy to talk with anyone with neutropenia. It’s good therapy to make a connection with those who you have something in common with.

My wife has had CFS for seven years I am her carer and work full time. I am very interested in research in the CFS area.

I have started a petition at ipetitions to urge governments to redirect CFS psychology research into CFS biology research so that real progress can be made.

Hi,

I have Protein S Deficiency & many other health problems. Both genetic & not genetic.

I have 100% blockage of the Superior Vena Cava from a blood clot that has been there for 7 years.

Recently (May 29th) had surgery to remove a mass in my neck (benign!!) & it was tricky keeping my blood thin but not too thin for surgery. I am healing well.

I look forward to chatting with others.

Hugs, RustyLady
