    • About Me

      I have a wonderful supportive family. My husband of 24 yrs and 20yod and 15 yos. I have had CFS and Fibro for about 6 yrs now and just trying to learn how to adjust, take one day at a time and not give up. My depression and anxiety have gotten much worse and now my psychiatrist is trying to find something to work.I also have problems with my back.

    • Interests

      I still try to read a little at times but now I am not motivated to do very much. I used to have alot of hobbies . I'm trying to think of something that I can do when I am very tired that is not too complicated. My sister also has depression so we are going to try to start a reading/learning group. We're reading some short stories now and picked out to study some about the Revolutionary War--how George Washington was the reason we won the war. I hope we can keep it up. I homeschool my 15 yr old son and have always loved history.

    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I have dealt with depression for about 12 yrs . Alot has been hormonally related but I was having it at other times of the month. I also have multipe chronic health problems so that contributes to the depression also.

      Treatments

      Pets Working / Worked
      My cat Duchess is always there in the bed with me when I can't get out of the bed. I think having pets sometimes works just as good or better than some medications
      Lexapro Working / Worked
      Lexapro has worked better for me that any other anti-depressant. I have been on it 6 yrs. The doctor added Depakote and that has made alot of difference
      Depakote Working / Worked
      I think it has helped me the most. I think I was having close to starting panic symptoms and it was really scary. Once I started on Depakote those feeling have gone.
      Clonazepam Working / Worked
      Most of the time it works. I think I have been on it so long that it loses some of its effectiveness.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      This always works. She has multiple health problems like I do. I don't know what I would do without her. I think healthy people have a hard time understanding us.
    • Open Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

      I have had health problems for years, it started I think hormonally about 13 yrs ago. About 6 yrs ago I got fibromyalgia then chronic fatigue syndrome. It seems like its like dominoes when one falls they all go. So now I have diabetes, iron deficiency, high blood pressure and now fighting a sinus infection. I am looking forward to getting to know all of you.

      Treatments

      Klonopin Working / Worked
      I think it has been working but not as much as when I first began
      Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
      I have used it longer than any anti-depressant now, for about 6 yrs. It really helped when the doctor added Depakote for my anxiety.
      Provigil Working / Worked
      Just started but has helped unbelieveably. I still have to have a sleep study. I have some nervousness so I'm going to take 1/2 tab.
    • Open Fibromyalgia

      I think I developed Fibromyalgia after I had numerous illnesses starting with mono and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I have had numerous health problems for about 12 yrs but things really got worse after I had mono 6 yrs ago.

      Treatments

      Dextropropoxyphene Working / Worked
      I think it helps somewhat. I take it at night. I am not as sore now that the weather is getting warmer.
    • Open Diverticulitis

      I have had persistant diarrhea since January and need some help and advice.

      Treatments

      Levaquin Working / Worked
      I have been on antibiotics three times but my diarrhea has come back. I went to a gastro yesterday and he wants to do a colonoscopy which I probably need but had somewhat of a bad experience with.
    • Open Anxiety

      I am having terrible anxiety problems with my depression. Just started a new psychiatrist that I am not really sure about. I had to find one that I could get into the soonest. My local doctors didn't want to give me klonopin anymore and didn't give me much time to find someone. So now I am on Cymbalta and she added Lyrica which I don't think is helping. Anyway I am 49 and just trying to get thru this tough hormonal times I'm going thru. I would appreciate any advice and support.

      Treatments

      Klonopin Working / Worked
      Lexapro Working / Worked
      worked for about 6 yrs almost with the addition of depakote and then had a bad episode but am thinking of going back on it
      Trazodone Working / Worked
      Cymbalta Not Working
