Its been something like 40 days now.

I haven't kept up on this blog like I've wanted to or planned to. I started night classes which are keeping me pretty busy. In one of my classes, 'Research Methods' I have the opportunity to write a paper on MIRAPEX  and to give a formal presentation - going for the aspect of its history - nothing personal - just the facts.  Not sure yet how I see that coming together.... Just hope I can put something together!! For anyone reading this – please send positive energy my way as I want to tell the world about this drug – and what was kept hidden about it and even if it’s just to a group of 15 college students and my professor who is also a  counselor - I want this nightmare to be heard.


I haven't been struggling with the desire to gamble AT ALL!! Yeah, every once in awhile the thought goes through my head I would love to go - I play the mind game I think I could just 'stop in' for a few now that I'm all better : ) BUT honestly I'm scared to death to know if I'm not truly all better and back to where I was before this nightmare started. I paid my bad checks wrote to the casino, still owe the overdraft fees however, have two more 400.00 debts to pay, my house will be on Sheriffs auction Oct 15th, and waiting for them to come get my car anyday. Other than that - must say that life is good today : )

 Wicked, wicked drug.


I just want to be my normal again. I don't want to have ANY thoughts of going to the casino.


In the last month I've had email correspondence with a woman who lost the right to self govern and ended up with a guardian because of MIRAPEX. I've also had email correspondence with another woman who recently attempted suicide because of MIRAPEX. I’ve followed a blog by Tammy Rothwell – another Mirapex Victim.

There are many of us out there and while our stories may not be the same - what this drug did to us is.


I may not be posting at this time as much as I’d like. But oh, I’m so not done yet!!
