| A little about me: | I have not been on in a while but I am back and returning after a two year hiatus. My issues are being bipolar, fibromyalgia, RA, chronic migraine headaches. I now take a large cocktail of medications that include: Neurontin, Klonopin, Effexor XR, Norco, MS Cotin, Imitrex PRN, Estradiol, and Risperdone. I know it seems like a lot of medication but for the first time in years I feel like my old self (almost). I have been off work for almost one year now. I had a nervous breakdown and was hospitalized my employer fired me for missing too much time. Yes I should have sued but I was so depressed I couldn't even begin to try to figure out the paper work. I still receive unemployment though so that has helped. I am also in the process of applying for disability. I find out soon if I get it or not. I feel like I could go back top work maybe part-time but I am not sure. I ended up moving back in with my husband but I have my own room. it's not been the easiest situation but the best for my 9 year old. My husband is visually impaired and my son has had two open heart surgery's. So I am so happy to finally be feeling better. I can now be more proactive with my family. I never stopped doing what I should do to get through the day to day but I know I need to do more. I look forward to meeting new friends because that is the one thing I lack. I am such a loner. i feel if I could meet people going through somewhat similar situation that would help even more. Hope to meet you. Rachel |
