Health issues and stuff

I decided to write this because Ive been very secretive about my problems
hiding from my old friends and family because I dont want them to see me like I am now..do to pride
I think this well be good for me.

First off..Ive had some health problems the last 5 years or so.... really Ive had them since I was about 12 but when I got married I couldnt afford to go to the doctor all the time

The summer before I started Junior High I got really sick we didnt know the cause of it I got weak and cold all over I had to wear layers and layers of clothes and Id fall down and get light flashes somedays I couldnt walk.I couldnt hold a tea cup because Id shake so much I lost count of how many I dropped and broke.
My mom took me to a local doctor who had no idea what was going on but she sent to me to some specialist and they did ekgs eegs mris cat scans and on and on
I had to home school that year because of all my doctors appointments
By the time I was starting 8th grade I had been to the doctor 100s of times with no answer I finally got sent to a neurologist in columbia missouri a fairly long drive from my house
we would have to get up at 5am and drive to get there.
He did spinal taps and all kinds of tests and finally found out that I had an enlarged pituitary gland which had been causeing seizures and migraines and not letting me sweat.
He said that it was most unusual that I was not a little person or a giant he said thats what almost always happens with an enlarged pituitary gland.
I forget to mention that I was a chubby little girl and that in the end I had wasted down to under 80 lbs partly do to health problems and partly do to the fact that I was in the self hateing stage of life that girls at that age go through.
I started topamax to help with the seizures and migraines and it did and it helped me in more ways than that ..as I came to realize when I went off it.
When I first started it though my body had a bad reaction and I lost most of my hair and had to start 9th grade with a bandana most people didnt recognize me I had went from being a chubby little girl with blondish brown hair to a very skinny girl with black hair also it helped that they hadnt saw me in 2 years.
I took topamax and prozac all through school and I only had one big seizure in facs class and had to go home but in 3 years that pretty good.
When I got married I didnt have insurance so I couldnt keep taking it..and of course I went right back to being sick..
I went from being beautiful with energy to being fat and tired and depressed.
Well the good news is Im back on topmax its in generic now and I can afford it

So im looking on the bright side of things right now.
Lets home I can get back to the way I had been once apon a time and not hide from the world anymore.

Thanks everyone.
