Guest guest Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 Unfortunately, I too was molested as a child, physically and emotionally abused as a child, neglected as a child, we were homeless and lived in our car at times, and slept at rest areas. I was raped at 14 by a neighbor, and I was physically abused for 10 years by my ex-husband. I had ovarian systs, and I had endometriosis as well. I also found out after my divorce that my children were physically and sexually abused while I was at work. I was hospitalized for shock and nerves after all of this. I then found out that my 2 youngest children are special needs. My 10 year old son has ADHD and has a mood disorder and has mild mental retardation. My 13 year old daughter is moderately mentally retarded and has schizophrenia. My 15 year old daughter was hospitalized for depression and for cutting herself last year and is now on medication. I was diagnosed with Fibro 1 year ago, but have been sick way longer than that. I also have IBS, a panic disorder, arthritis, degenerative disc disease, a herniated disc in my neck and back. I also have multiple allergies to foods and some chemicals, I just found this out about 3 weeks ago. Monika Re: Sexual Abuse Count me in on this one....I too was sexually abused as a child. You can count me in on the endometriosis too. I don't know that my fibro and the abuse I suffered are linked in any way.....but I do know that the abuse has affected every aspect of my life every day. Thank goodness I got help and I have a wonderful and loving husband who helps me cope/deal when issues arise.Blessings,Pixi> > I> > was also sexually abused as a child. which I have suppressed those > memories'> > till I was much much older...> > > Marie, you too?

While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain health conditions or just dangerous in general.2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation better.Have a nice day everyone.
