Support Groups
Close Back Pain
I am mostly pain-free, unless i tweak it, or be around some ass-wipe who gets my back out of wack.
Treatments
- Acupressure Working / Worked
- interesting but takes desire and effort and sometimes the desire for the effort is not there, even thought the pain will subside.
- Acupuncture Working / Worked
- Phenomenal! But you have to go frequently until the pain is gone. I go to a free clinic in Chicago otherwise I cuould not afford it.
- Bedrest Working / Worked
- Good for letting the muscles "rest but bad if you are sleeping too much. Then you are depressed.
- Chiropractic Adjustment Working / Worked
- I use Network Chiropractic - Great stuff! Just real great.
- Relaxation Working / Worked
- Deep breathing is a great relaxer along with lavender oil.
- Stretching Working / Worked
- Just gotta do it! :-)
Close Bipolar Disorder
After a nervous breakdown in May 2006 and subsequent spiral-down to thoughts of suicide in Aug. 07, in Nov 07, I went on an anti-dpressant, Cymbalta. I got that from a DR friend who had samples. That worked until Feb. 2007 when I knew it wasn't enough because I was just soo soo soo sad, so I went to get professional help and they diagnosed me with bp II. I am on Lamictal ($340 a mo) that the clinic i go to pays for.
Treatments
- Depakote Not Working
- The Depakote makes my hair fall out, a.k.a., hair thinning, but it's really hair falling out.
- Geodon Not Working
- Caused my heart to race to the point i had to call an ambulance to take me to the hospital where my heart raced until 11 a.m. the next day bcs the bastards would not give me an antidote until the hospital pdoc came and he dragged his feet. That was the worst experience. And the bastard M.D. just sat there at the front desk drinking coffee while I flinched and moved without control on the hospital bed. Dastards.
- Group Therapy Working / Worked
- i joined a depression meetup group and a bipolar meetup group, meetup dot com.
- Holistic Health Working / Worked
- It all takes time. Sometimes we don't have time so we go to western meds.
- Lamictal Working / Worked
- If i cld believe enough in myself to take the pills, i would probably be better off. That is what therapy is fo, i guess. No support from family nor friends. Alone.
Open Depression
Treatments
- Cymbalta Working / Worked
- Pretty good until i was back to square one and then diagnosed with bipolar.
- Geodon Not Working
- Horrible. gave me heart palpitations. Scared the living daylight out of me by racing my heart. BAD BAD BAD.
- Meditation Working / Worked
- Very relaxing. Been doing it for nine years. It takes time. Just hink of it as stopping, breathing and letting all the thoughts go. Ask me more, if you want.
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- Only until i realized i was really, really depressed and that the cymbalta was not working and that there was really something wrong with me because i could not pull out of the feeling worthlessness and then i was diagnosed with bipolar. Who knows.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Definitely good and according to the medical articles, really good with exercise.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- All the medical articles state how important this is to getting better. You may need to go on meds, though, to get to the feeling of wanting to get out of meds, or past any anxieties of leaving your house. Get the momentum going, though, with meds or from a friend helping or praying to God for movement to happen to get out of bed. One step at a time. Just put on your shoes and throw your clothes over your jammies if you have to. :-) That's what point i got to.
- Acupuncture Working / Worked
- Absolutely uplifting, but you have to make a commitment to it and it is expenisve unless youcan find a free college clinic.
