Living with Medical Problems

A Story by Kyra Alexander
"

My life with medical problems, i hope in sharing my story will help others with comfort knowing they are not alone or just to give info or advice.

"
Hello, my name is Meagen! I am 27 yrs old. I am a stay at home mom currently. I have 3 beautiful little girls ages 5, 3 , and 2 yrs old.
I currently live in Washington, the state. I'm from New Mexico originally. 
For the most part I was never really sick as a kid, then my teen years hit and at age 17 I had an MRI which showed a tumor on my pituitary gland. I was put on medication for 2 months to shrink it. I guess it worked cause ive been tumor free ever since. 
When I was 21 I then got DX with Nuerocardiogenic Syncope, I've dealt with blackouts ever since. 
At 22 I was DX with Tachycardia, I've dealt with palpitations for a long time now, now I have officially been DX with Sinus Tachycardia, my heart rate stays above 110BPM. 
I am now 27 and my list of health problems has climbed sadly...

Sinus Tachycardia
FibroCystic Breast Disease
Fibroadenomas
NueroGenicSyncope
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
PTSD
OCD
Depression
Conductive Hearing Loss
Sensorinuerol Hearing Loss
Idiopathic Intercranial Hypertension
Vision Decline

I've been through 1 major breast surgery at age 26. I am looking at brain surgery now due to high cerebral spinal fluid pressure. I need hearing aids, I'm severely visually impaired now. I have had 2 breast biopsies with the past 12 months. MRIs, LP, Blood tests, Vision tests, I see my eye doc every 2 weeks now, I have seen 4 different Neuro specialists between where I live and Seattle WA. despite everything, I still manage to get up and be a mom and get things done, how ive done it? I couldn't even tell you. I just know I need to do it so my kids are taken care of and they get to their appts. Most days now I feel sick, i'm tired, i'm nauseous, and my head is killing me. Between taking 8 pills a day and mommy duties i'm surprised I have gone this long lol. 

Well, I will leave you writers with this.
BE THANKFUL FOR YOUR HEALTH! It can be taken away at any moment, It's a hard life but you learn to live with it. I am here if you'd like to comment, questions, or just to vent! feel free to =)
