Issues nancyaa is Interested In
- Depression - How does this condition affect you? It takes the joy out of things that should make me happy. Medication doesn't seem to help. I have drug allergies and when something does seem to help it is only temporary because my body builds up an immunity to it in a short period of time.
- Fibromyalgia - How does this condition affect you? It causes constant pain throughout my body. It affects my muscles and connective tissues and everything hurts. There are days I can barely stand to get out of bed. When my children or grandchildren hug me it actually hurts me. But I can live with that as long as they keep on loving me and hugging me I'll take the pain!
- Back Pain - How does this condition affect you? There are days, many of them that I can barely walk from the bedroom to the bathroom because I have herniated disks, degenerative disk disease and bulging disks that are pressing on the nerves in my left leg that cause four different types of pain in my leg. There are times my back and leg "go out" with no warning so I can never go anywhere without having someone with me. The pain is unbearable because the same as with the meds for my depression, fibromyalgia, migraines, etc. I build up an immunity to them and the doctors are not able to find anything that helps with my pain on a long term basis.
- Agoraphobia - How does this condition affect you? I get such sever panic attacks there are times I am unable to leave the house for months at a time. When I do leave I cannot go alone. I can't attend family get togethers, because I'll get a panic attack. Even if too many people come to visit, even family, I become very uncomfortable and can hardly wait for some of them to leave, and these are the people I love the most. It makes me feel horrible!
- Headaches/Migraines - How does this condition affect you? When I get headaches/migraines I can't stand light or sound. Even someone walking across the floor feels like they are stomping their feet. When they talk it sounds like they're screaming. My head throbs so bad I feel like it is going to explode.
nancyaa's Story
Divorced, mother of 3, grandmother of 9, have a 14 month old Shih Tzu who is the love of my life and will be adding a Lhaffon on the 26 of Jan. My youngest son will be deploying for Iraq in Sept. and I am scared witless, which is why I have decided to join this website. I am looking for others in a similar situation in a effort to find how they handled their emotions when they found one of their children would be leaving for war. I feel very selfish because there are parents who have children already over there and mine hasn't even left yet and I'm already losing my mind with fear. Is there anyone that can help me? Please?

- Parent of Deployed Soldiers - Mon, January 14, 2008 - [view]
Are there any parents of deployed soldiers out there or who will have their sons or daughters deploying soon? My son will be leaving for Iraq in Sept. and I am paralyzed with fear. Is there anyone who could talk to me about this?
