    • Interests

      I used to be very active so I have had to change a lot of interests. I love any kind of music. I have became addicted to computer games since I spend so much time alone. I love current affairs and any articles on health or cosmetics. I love to walk and travel when I feel well. I love to watch movies, both at home and at the theatre.

      Hi! I am sorry it has been a long time. I hope you are feeling better. I have been ok. I have good things and stressful things happening in my life right now. I will tell you all about it when I hear from you. Hope all is well.=)

      I saw your entry and just wanted to say that I understand how you feel! I also have thyroid cancer (only just diagnosed and removed and about to have RAI treatment) and fibromyalgia and my body aches from head to toe. Unless you have it you really can't understand how difficult it is. You seem like a very positive person, so keep smiling and being who you are....things will get better....they always do!!

      Wow. What a wonderful surprise to see you back, although I am sorry to hear that you have been through hell and back (it sounds like). You see, I just messaged you a few weeks ago, and VOILA!!! Here you are! I need to add you again. I just went and deleted all whom I hadn't heard from in over a year. Thank you so much for stopping by and please keep in touch. Is that a recent photo of you BTW? You look great.

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I am a 53 year old divorced woman who was diagnosed in 1993 with Fibro. I have major fatigue, insomnia and my memory well...it is not good at all! I am glad I found this site. Please feel free to write. I am alone a lot of the time.

      Treatments

      Effexor Not Working
      Elavil Not Working
      Effexor Not Working
      Did not help with the depression.
      Provigil Working / Worked
      This seems to help give me some energy but I have heard some things that scare me about it. My insurance will not cover it also and it is very expensive.
      Magnesium Working / Worked
      I am just starting to use it but it definitely helps with the IBS.
      Support from Friends & Family Considering
      I do not have any family support and most of my friends do not beleive me. I wish there was more I could do to let them know how much their support would help.
      Lamictal Working / Worked
      I have been taking Lamactil for about a year now. I can definitely say, though I still have some down times, I do not get nearly as depressed as before. I am taking 150 mg along with 300 Mg of Wellbutrin XL. I have been on almost every other antidepressant and this is definitely the best combo yet. Hope it might help you!!
    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      HI EVERYONE. I HAVE HAD DEPRESSION OFF AND ON SINCE THE MIDDLE 80'S. I HAD THYROID CANCER AND HAD THE TOTAL GLAND REMOVED WHEN I WAS 23 AND THAT IN ITSELF CAN CAUSE ANXIETY/DEPRESSION. I HAD MY OVARIES REMOVED AT AGE 32 SO MY HORMONES ARE WACKO AND THAT CONTRIBUTES TO IT AND THEN THROW IN MY FIBROMYALGIA AND MY GENETIC DISPOSITION (MOM) AND I GUESS I QUALIFY FOR THIS GROUP, YOU THINK???lol I ONLY JOKE AT TIMES TO KEEP FROM CRYING. I KNOW IF YOU ARE HERE YOU DESERVE A HUG AND A PRAYER.

      Paxil Not Working
      MADE ME GAIN WEIGHT AND FEEL MORE TIRED THAN I ALREADY FELT.
      Wellbutrin Somewhat Helpful
      OF ALL THE ANTIDEPRESSANTS I HAVE TRIED THIS HAS THE LEAST SIDE EFFECTS AND SEEMS TO HELP BETTER THAN OTHERS. I STILL HAVE DEPRESSION, AT LEAST SOME AND SOME DAYS WORSE.
      Lamictal Somewhat Helpful
      THIS ADDED TO MY WELLBUTRIN XL SEEMS TO HELP BETTER THAN OTHER TREATMENTS BUT I STILL HAVE THE INSOMNIA AND LACK OF ENERGY FOME TIMES.

    • Open Hypothyroidism

      I found I had 2 nodules on my thyroid at age 34. The Doctor assured me at my age there was nothing to worry about. Two days later I found out I had Throid cancer and had to have the total gland removed. I guess there are only around 1,000 cases of thyroid cancer a year so it is rare and not none that mudh about. I had no idea how much that gland does until they removed mine. I am on synthoid for life. I also have Fibromyalgia and am in their community as LuFoggy. Love to hear from others.
