Issues Penny1041 is Interested In
- Bipolar Disorder - How does this condition affect you? Having Bipolar makes me feel like I am two different people sometimes.It makes my life very unstable and unpredictable. Its taken me so long to accept this disorder and to stay on top of treating it.
- Headaches/Migraines - How does this condition affect you? Wow, this is a tough one. I started having full blown Migraines at the age of aprx. 3 years old.I did not know how to tell my parents where the pain was, I just kept telling them I had a monster in my head. For weeks they put cotton balls in my ears. In Junior High they got even worse. I passed out a few times (at school) and they had me seeing every doctor they could. They found some abnormalities, but nothing solid. Classmates thought I was a freak.I became very introverted.
- Single Parenting - How does this condition affect you? I actually really enjoy being a parent without my ex. He was such a control freak, and I believe he did more damage to my kids, then helped. He abused my daughter, and now he denies it. She remembers the beatings, and it hurts her that she isnt important enough to just be honest about the mistakes he made. I am so glad that its just me & my kids, things are so simple now.
- Insomnia - How does this condition affect you? This is a tough one for me to explain... I worry a lot, andonce I am stredded about something, I can not get it out of my head, no matter how hard I try. The worst part is, it makes me tired all day long and all night long, this condition is hard to understand and sort through..
Penny1041's Story
I dont have much of a story. I am a single parent.I am currently looking to go back to work in the medical field (medical billing and coding). I grew up with constant headaches and migraines. I did'nt have much support or knowledge about my condition which really made everything worse. I didn't know if I was dying or if I was suffering through something that a lot of people went through. I am a firm believer in knowledge is POWER, just knowing why I have these migraines brings me some comfort. I think it helps my 11 year old son to know he isn't the only one who is going through this. I can pass on everything I know to him and even tell him how to manage the pain.
