Thanks everyone for the support! You got it, couchtater! I'll have to letcha know! I'll surely miss you too Sherrine, I only read medical journals. My dream was to always be a physician, so medical...
For those who i've conversed with a lot on healingwell... I just want to say (in case I end up "disappearing") that I'm truly grateful to those who have been helpful, sincere and kind to me! I could...
oh, garylouisville, i forgot to reply specifically to you... he and i did not have anything together, no. we never were able to buy a house, all we had was an apartment that we left once my mom was...
I don't think any of you "understand", lol! I don't let people talk to me that way though, so it is what it is. Isn't it funny when people think they know your whole story, when all this is is the...
I keep trying...... :cry: Thanks, Carole. Hope you're well. How's your family doing? Eden...
Please make better choices? I'm a responsible adult who does all I can for myself. I try to be independent the best I can despite needing a wheelchair for simple chores now. I try to work, but get...
Thanks, Rockon. Yeah, it's what the chiropractor suggested for me. I've already become used to the taste of oil or oregano in water, lol. I kind of like it! It can help with infections too? that...
Sherrine, The Medical Assistance (listed on that 1st site) is what I try to get, but they always deny me for it... that's what I'm still trying for. Waiting on some forms in the mail. But I've never...
Sherrine, also: I'm sorry to hear about your experiences with Crohn's! Did you need your colon removed BECAUSE of bleeding for so many years/ waiting to get it checked out? :sad: Maybe I have like,...
I already have a lot of medical bills I didn't pay:shakehead:- collections people call me. My dad helped me pay for most of them; however, back when I was with my ex (husband), he let a lot of the...
Rockon, very interesting stuff ya got here!!! I do appreciate you always trying to help me out. For now, my stomach has been feeling somewhat better from using oil of oregano 3x daily + 1 probiotic...
I don't even have insurance anyway :rolleyes: but thanks again, Rockon! And my mood disorders go way beyond any physical issues though... they are very severe and have been my whole life. I have a...
Thanks for all your help and suggestions always, Rockon. Sherrine, While always struggling with getting assistance in my state, I'm starting to think that I'm never going to be able to see a...
Fine. But no, this state is really very bad. They only help you if you have a baby when you're low income. I got pregnant back in 2010 but had a molar pregnancy, which required surgery. No baby, of...
Wow! What a story, RAsufferer! I'm so glad you're able to have it under control now! Thanks so much for responding! Eden...
Do you suffer from severe anxiety? JW Hmm... I wouldn't settle for one opinion either! I would get a second ENT opinion if the spinal tap does not show anything... I really need to get a spinal tap...
So, for those who have talked to me a lot on here, you know that I have a family history of IBD and I have been bleeding with BM's for at least 3 yrs now (yes- 3 yrs, always struggling with not...
I know a lot of people on here have been concerned about me getting insurance... it was tough knowing which forum to post this on, but I'm hoping others will see it too... Wouldn't you know it, I...
Thank you, Glea! Unfortunately, I see no end to my pain either! My state never helps me get better even though I'm very sickly and poor... they told me I may not even be eligible for medicaid! I am...
Thanks for the information, Carole. But unfortunately, I have no choice but to ignore everything going on... Wouldn't you know it, I still have not been able to speak with my caseworker at the county...
SCOTTIO, I also wanted to point out to you too... like I said, I can't get checked yet... but for you, since you were seeing doctors and that... you should look into getting your ***vestibular...
Hmmm, interesting... Have you been working with any other doctors to try to get it figured out, by chance? I remember us speaking about our similar symptoms before, yes! Luckily, I have not had any...
Hi again, Jennie! Glad you found my post (I have many)! My mom died 2 yrs ago now in June, she was 53. She fought lung cancer for 2 and 1/2 yrs before dying... hers also went to her brain at one...
Hi again, alioop! Thank you, dear! I'm hanging in... started taking oil of oregano 3x a day + a probiotic once a day (suggested by the chiropractor) for my gastro, yeast and bacterial problems......
Jeeze, you guys must live in a better state than I do... I never had much luck with shrinks in the past either... unfortunately, I am diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder due to being...
Hi! I'm only 26, too! Although I always say I feel like I'm 66! Sorry for everything you've been through!!! I hope your husband has been supportive! And I agree with Sherrine-- you are STILL a...
My headache is 24/7, all year-round unfortunately :shakehead: I'm so sorry about your daughter having breast cancer! I just found out that my aunt has it. So terrible!!! I hear you, stress does not...
You know, I may be getting hypo- and hyperthyroidism mixed up in that last post. I'm not sure though! Anyway, it's possible a lot of my symptoms may be the thyroid... like you said, the temperature...
Thanks again, Rockon! I know that the TSH doesn't prove much; however, of course this is the only thing doctors ever checked for me in the past. I do wonder how well my thyroid works, because I seem...
Thanks, everyone! I usually use the NatureMade brand. A massage therapist I was seeing for a while agreed that this is usually a good brand. Well, I have a lot of stomach and gut issues. Some very...
I have struggled with a lack of insurance coverage on and off for 5 yrs, since my ex and I split up. I have never been able to go to a neurologist, but that's the first specialist I KNOW I would have...
I hope so too... i've been going on like this for far too long with no answers, all along while only getting worse :shakehead: THANKS, flowersun! I like how cheerful your name is!:-) There's not much...
Hehe, thanks for everything, JJP! Not a problem! I do appreciate all your help regardless. But I do understand, Lynnwood! No worries. I'm just waiting on this woman at the welfare office who is...
Jennie, I'm not diagnosed with lupus-- I'm mostly from the Fibromyalgia forum, while also floating about to many others because of many undiagnosed/ unexplained problems not associated with the...
It's official... I have done enough trial and error, journaling, gradual dosage changes over time... I always suspected that it made me worse... but now I see for sure that magnesium certainly DOES...
Oh, how you have been quite "lucky" up until now to not have headaches! I don't wish them on anyone! I hate to hear that you're now getting these issues! I am a rare case, with a terrible on-going...
Yes, this has been a wonderful site for support, guidance and information, too!! Hope we hear from you again soon, Ashley! Eden :-)...
I have never been tested for my circulation or nerves... I have barely been tested for anything because of the lack of help I receive in my state.:shakehead: (My case is finally being looked at...
Wow! Thanks for the comments, Rockon! Sometimes when the hives and itching are very bad, I take one or two benadryls (the pills). It sometimes helps, sometimes not. Sometimes it helps with the...
Yes, I wish more people realized that you don't have to "get high" in order to use medical marijuana... you don't even have to smoke it! I was never a "stoner" by any means, nor do I like to smoke...
Maybe I'm asking the 'wrong' disease forum about this... but since I do have Fibromyalgia... figured I'd just ask: Has anyone had any troubles particularly with their feet? Severely cold like ice...
Hehe, thanks Carole! I do appreciate your encouragement! Sorry i haven't been on for a bit... headache has been bad, hand pain is very bad when I type, terrible pain in my ankles and legs, back pain...
Thank you, Alicat! Sorry to hear you're hurting too... hope you're doing OK! Eden :-)...
Hi, everyone. I'm a sufferer of an on-going headache for about 5 or 6 yrs now... has never once gone away, just the intensity changes at times. Severe pressure in head, and constant, persistent...

Maine, I have been struggling with keeping health insurance for nearly 5 yrs now- ever since my ex-husband and I split up... I had state assistance (AmeriHealth Mercy) years back when I became...
Thank you for the comments! Well, seeing as how I've always struggled with not having health insurance (ever since my ex-husband and I split up nearly 5 yrs ago), all of my problems have only...
DandyGal, if you see this... what did you decide to do? I'm JW. I don't know anything about SSDI, but if I were to guess, I would say that volunteering would not help your case... sad, but most...
Sorry have not been around. Not doing so well these days... very depressed, never want to get out of bed because the pain is very very bad. Also try not to type or read any more than I have to. Hands...
Well, it's good that she joined the Coast Guard though! That's smart because they certainly pay for education. :-) I'm glad I started with General Studies too. I'm actually doing career testing at...
