I will be turning 40 september and i take medicine for depression, irratelbowl syndrome, acid reflux, asthma, exema, dermititis, and sleeping. About 4 @ a half years ago i had gallbladder surgery, and aprox three years ago i had a hysterectomy surgery. Before i had the surgery i was bleeding a lot had anemia and had to have blood transfusions, my menstrual cycle was not to good some times it would last longer than usual allways very tired did not want to get up in the morning could not function at work in the morning sometimes i didn't feel like showering or doing anything for the day i felt that i was stuck to the couch and i got tired going from one Dr. to another till finding out what was wrong with me. I also have problems with ibs i'm sometimes not sure what to eat because it seems like everything i eat goes right through me. I try to eat better but sometimes it's hard i can eat a meal and with in a few minutes i get tummy pain and if i'm not near the bathroom i'm screwed i hate it. I have trouble sleeping i take regular ambien for sleeping and sometimes i only get 3 to 4 hours of sleep i don't know how i function. I have depression too . My boyfriend and i've been together this october will be 17 years together we've been living together almost as long he suffers from alcoholism it's hard he's not abusive to me he's hurting him self i hat to tale him to the emergency room a few times, i had to allso clean the floors up because he didn't make it to the bathroom he's tried to quit but he almost made it to three months and then he was back to drinking again he drinks just beer and sleeps i've tried numerous things to help him even calling the Steve Wilkos show they called me back 3 times and i was happy till i told him @ he said i'm not going,.. i don't want to be yelled at. He's asked for help before but he doesen't want to go to treatment for that long. He went to detox center voulentary his sister and i took him then a few hours later he checked himself out he felt like he was in jail and in the wrong place the other people there were drug addicts from jail he said thats not the same . I thank Michelle from the bottom of my heart for directing me to the site i thank the lord for bringing her into my life she's a wonderful person i feel in my heart that we were suppose to meet god bless you take care, nail gal
