My name is Lisa and I am a 34 year old Female. 

I have many problems, they have affected my life in many ways, probably to many to mention here. Luckily however, I have a wonderful husband who has bought and read many books on the issues that I have, as I have read them also I feel that I can provide not only help to sufferers but to their families as well. I am allergic to all types of Lithium so i can take only antidepressants and I have found Lexapro to be very good, I also use Valium for anxiety and Restoril for sleep. For pain I take Morphine and Percocet, then for the extreme muscle spasms I take Soma, for migraines I take Fioricet. The othe things I do for both pain and anxiety are meditation and would be more than willing to recommend good tapes or cd's to people who are interested as I have a large collection acquired through the years. I also use nature and new age musid to relax by. For pain I walk, do basic yoga and Pilates. Not only does it release natural pain fighting and feel good endorphins, but it helps to keep your body from becoming to cramped. I always work within my limit for the day, and recommend that to others. I also have eatining disorders, I will go for days without eating or just eat a tiny portion, other days I will eat a normal portion and then feel guilty and purge. I am also a self-mutilator, but I have been able to all but cease that. I have a rather serious self esteem problem, one of the things that helps with that is helping people. I'm very sorry that this paragraph is probably to long, but as i said i love to help people and in the process I end up helping myself.
