I live in the northeast and suffer from seasonal depression. I basically hibernate from november until april. Besides moving, I’d really like to talk to people about how they’ve conquered their depression. I’m a really cynical person and depression has got me beat

I am a THREE time cancer survivor. This month I have survived breast cancer for 5 yrs. My experience with cancer started 28 yrs ago with Hodgkins. 18 months later it came back. They say the breast cancer was most likely caused from the treatments of the Hogkins. There is hope and there are miracles. To me the future is a scary place as far as my health goes. However, I am so happy to be here. Never give up, that is my motto.

I have had 8 strokes from a car accident. ( the day after) Ever since this, I have had pericarditis 3 times and pleurisy 5 times and pneumonia 2 times. I am very tired all the time. My TSH was off and my growth hormone, and some other stuff to do with my pituitary gland. The docs came to the conclusion that I may have a tumor. ( I was also leaking breast milk and I had a hysterectomy) Did an MRI and they said no tumor. Been taking plaquenil and doing better and sinthroid 75 mcgs. Now I have a vitamin D deficiency! What the heck? It is suppose to be 40 and it is 15. I drink milk, I eat icecream, even though I am lactose intollerant. I eat cheese too. I get sun. Not much because it makes me blister because of my meds ( I take 22 pills a day) I see a rheumatologist who has been playing with me for two years. He says he doesn’t have enough to go on. An ANA came out negative but all the TSH and other thyroid tests came out normal too that he ran and then two months later they came out all screwed up. I wish I knew what to do. Do I find someone else? What do I do?
I am a SURVIVOR of Central Pontine Myelinolysis, an acquired toxic demyelination disorder said to be a neuromuscular disease of the central nervous system. This disease came to the forefront in 1959 and has continuously been very quietly withheld from the publc world wide. Recently I’ve founded the “CPM Awareness Foundation.” Along with my own chronic issues, I have found my best therapy in doing my best assisting other CPM victims or their families as most CPM victims that live or in need of help in many areas. Now as a CPM survivor, layman advocate and founder I’ve been involved in many scenerios bringing “CPM Awareness” to many Government Institutes along with many influential organizations.
It is stated in all imformation that there is no cure currently available which tends to be both true and false. Central Pontine Mylinolysis is what is called an Iatrogenic disease meaning it is acquired by, “Error of Treatment.”
