Glad to know you're doing well. I only feel the anxiety every now and then. It's so nice to have that out of the way.rnrnYes, our new house is in the mountains. Actually it's just a mile down the road from where we are now. We're buying it furnished and so there won't be furniture to move, but at some point we've got to get our stuff out of storage in Denver and figure out what to do with it. We'll pick and choose I'm sure. Our son is planning to buy a house and so I'm sure we'll send some of the furniture his way. I just want my kitchen stuff!rnrnWe'll rent the house on a short term basis probably through April, the end of ski season and then move in. We need to live in our townhouse for 2 years to avoid capital gains tax. So we'll put it on the market in April. It will be easier to show without all of our stuff in it. Hopefully the market will pick up by then.rnrnBut this house should be it for me too. I thought that of the last house until we had so much trouble with it and it drove me bonkers. It's big, but we won't use all the space. Maybe some day I'll even have grandchildren!rnrnTake care and stay in touch.rnrnDebbie

I was glad to see your status that you are doing well. How's the back? Do you still have the morning anxiety? I've been doing great, but I'm getting anxious about all of the details about the house we're buying. It's always something.

I hope the injection works. Is this cortisone? Don't you just hate not feeling right? I do. How have you been doing?

Close Anxiety
Have had a rough five months including two surgeries and a reaction to too much Cipro, which is an antibiotic. I have been left with nerves and anxiety that i fight on a daily basis. This is not the person I used to be and it is frustrating. I was happy and well adjusted till this happend. I am not as interested in the things I used to love to do, however, it is coming back slowly. Right now I am on ativan, but they are trying to get me off of that and onto a anti depressant for the anxiety, but so far I am having a hard time tolerating what I have tried.
Treatments
- Writing Somewhat Helpful
- I write in a journal every night about my journey through this nightmare.
- Effexor Not Working
- couldnt tolerate. Made me very depressed
- Cipro Not Working
- This drug is very strong. I became very ill from taking it. I had night sweats, chest pain, abdominal pain and it has left me with anxiety/nerves and depression. It can affect the nervous system. They gave it to me for a UTI that I really didn't have as the culture was negative. Before you take it, please talk to your doctor about trying an older drug. They are giving his stuff out like candy.
- Zoloft Working / Worked
- This has really changed my life for the better. Definately helped my depression and my anxiety is much better also. Still have some slight nerves
