I have an appointment to see the MD at the mental health clinic. I have been needing to see her for weeks and finally have an appointment. I am on Cymbalta and obviously it is not working for my depression. I AM borderline and can have frequent mood changes, but the severe depression and suicidal thoughts that luckily got out of my head due to distractions to me say that the med is not working.

This doc has the personality of a rock and me being a nurse, I am not going to blindly accept a change like a sheep, because I know what does NOT work for me. I have some attractive bad side effects from the Cymbalta and hear that it is not all it is cracked up to be. However, the last doc decided I had run the gamut of all anti-depressants and put me on nothing. Bad idea!! I cried all the time and ended up taking an overdose.

I am going to really pray for some relief here and that she comes up with something. But what??? I have no idea what it would be. I have to get up really early which I am not used to, so I hope my brain is functioning enough to be able to talk to her sensibly. I am not a morning person.

I am about ready to go to a spiritual healer, a voodoo doctor or something drastic. So tired of this roller coaster. Happy/sad/happy/sad. Mostly sad though.

I have not heard from you guys…what is up with you all??

About a few months ago I ate mainly kiddy cereals for breakfast and turkey, fish, or chicken with brown rice and vegetables for lunch and dinner and excercise for 40 mins. I lost about a pound to a pound and a half every week. Then i took some antipshycotic medications which made me gain about 3 lbs. and i ate very bad food at that time. Lots of white bread, white pasta, refined foods. Now im off the medication and im eating the same foods like before the medication, im excercising 40 mins but why am i not losing any weight?

heyy every1… i was wondering if anyone knew if too much sleep really hurts your metabolism.. and weight loss??… thats what ive heard, i guess it makes sense… im thinking 9 hours is the most for a fine nites sleep? any1 know of anything…??

I have been back and forth on diet after diet from Atkins to Weight Watchers,etc…. I told myself I am going to just stop these diets and stop thinking about it soo much! Well I have been not been dieting for a week and I lost 3 lbs! When I diet I am lucky to lose that in 3-4 weeks! Why?????? I dont get it! I will be truthful too I am not as hungry as when I’m on a diet and I am not thinking about what I cant have or when my next meal is or how many calories I have left, it is so wierd I thought I would share! Lets see how long this lasts.

I felt compelled to share my story about my experience with Relafen. I am a very active 51 year old in fine physical condition, moving like a young woman. About 8 weeks ago developed knee pain after gardening. I had been experiencing some minor knee pain when taking the stairs but not something that curtailed my activities at all. My knee pain extended to the muscle in back on my leg and caused me to limp. After a week of ice and Ibuprofin I felt some relief but decided to see an orthapedic doctor to get an x-ray and see what was wrong. The x-ray showed only a minor "irregularity" of the kneecap. The doctor put me on Ralafen, and physical therapy to recover the muscle in my leg that was lost in a short period of time. I did well, and enjoyed the pool exercises, and in about 2 weeks felt a reduction in pain. At about the 3 week mark, I noticed that after each exercise routine I was having muscle pain,,,,here there and everywhere. I attributed this to walking differently, moving differently, etc…gradually I became stiffer and stiffer, and was applying ice to the back of my legs because my muscles felt so bad. My knee was not hurting, but my whole body was having a muscle meltdown. Finally at about 6 weeks I started feeling pins and needles in my legs and had to rub them to get the circulation going…….and the last straw was when I went to wash my face at night the skin under my eyes was so thin it almost bled at rubbing with a wash cloth! I called the doctor the next day to tell him I was going off the Relafen, and to ask if I could take asprin the nex day. He said yes on the aspirin but did not believe my symptoms were attributed to the Realfen!….After searching for the side effects myself I discovered that sure enough, under "rare" side effects are weakness, pins and needles, thinning skin!….The doctor suggested I go see a physician about my muscle symptoms. I started on asprin 3 times a day and within 48 hours I was dramatically better. It has been 8 days now and I am like a new person!! The symptoms I had could have easily been missed because they happened gradually, and doctors do not seem to listen, or are reluctant to attribute symptoms to medicaton. I am sharing this because someone else might be helped. Marci

Hi there, Does anyone with urine frequency(where you feel you have to go all the time),notice they have a constantly sore back at the same time as their frequency is bad !!! My urine frequency comes and goes,I have bad patches for weeks in a row then Ok. times and I notice my back seems to ache at the same time as my bad patches. So Im just wondering if anyone else has notice this??? Thankyou debbiep.

Is it normal when you have an abnormal cytology result for the urologist to wait and see, and repeat in two monthes. I had a urine sample taken during a cystoscopy for the test, and the only thing they said they saw was squamous metaplasia. I have continuous blood in my urine and continuous pain. They also said I have numerous kidney stones that can’t be removed without destroying the kidney, and where they are they can’t cause pain. HUH? Then why am I in pain? Anyway, has anyone had this happen to them? I would appreciate the feedback.

I have heard of great success with osteopaths, just to let ye all know! http://www.healtheffect.net/ubb/smile.gif
