- Hi everyone. It's been about a year since I've actually been on here. I'm not really a fan of the new layout but I thought I'd return and give it a try again. I had a really bad few days last week with mania where I didn't sleep for 3 days. My p...
- Hello. I have POTS and I'm starting to think I might have CFS along with it. I know the symptoms are very similar though. I'm wondering what type of doctor diagnosis cfs and what exactly the fatigue feels like.I get fatigued when my heart rate is up...
- I could use some hugs and good positive thoughts for what may not seem like not a big deal. I have to go get a mammogram today and I'm scared to death. Last year I almost passed out during it and ended up in the ER. I'm so scared the same thing is...
- I was just put on florinef for my POTS symtoms. It's suppose to help my blood volume and help me retain salt and water. I've read that steroids are not good for people with bipolar and can cause mood swings. It's a very small dose but I seem a...
- Who can do it and who can't? I'm thinking of cutting it out to try and help my anxiety. I love having coffee in the mornings so it will be hard.
- Has anybody tried it?
- Does anyone take a prn that is not a benzo? I'm seeing my p doc this week and I'm going to ask for something for my anxiety. I've tried Valuim and Ativan in the past and both caused heart palps and shortness of breath so I'm guessing any other benzo...
- Just curious how others spend their days. I'm restricted because of health issues but lately boredom is making my anxierty worse. I feel like all I do is watch tv and play card games on the computer. UGH.
- I know a lot of people have been posting about financial struggles so I just wanted to share how much money I'm saving grocery shopping at Aldi. I know they're not everywhere but I'm lucky there's one close to me. There is also a bunch of info on...
- Does anyone find any specific type of diet that helps with depression,anxiety,etc? I'm reading the book "Grain Brain" now. I keep reading that going gluten free helps people. Honestly I don't know if I can give up bread. I gave up sugar a few weeks...
- I have a friend who is not doing very good right now. She's been diagnosed with bipolar 2 and Borderline Personality disorder. She's on lamictal,trileptal,pristiq,Wellbutrin and klonopin. That seems like a lot to me. Is anyone else on a similiar...
- Sorry I know I've asked this before but how long do you normally give your body to get adjusted to a new med? My new p doc wants me to try depakote again. I tried it a few months back at 500 mg er and it made me so tired and achy I had to stop. My...
- I'm flying pretty high right now. This hasn't happened in forever. I've been so depressed lately. I'm dancing around the house listening to Madonna. I want to fix a drink and get all made up and go out. This isn't me. I'm pretending in my head I ...
- I'm lucky enough to have Medicaid cover all my prescriptions for free but I just got a letter saying that will change starting July 1st. I'm not sure exactly what I will be charged now. How do most of you struggling financially manage to pay for...
- I saw my new p doc today ( I had to switch because my insurance changed) and I really felt comfortable with him. He spent an hour with me asking me questions and going over all the meds I had tried in the past. He concluded I was bi polar 2 and...
