Hey S.C., Thanks for the "breathing" link! (I haven't tried it yet, but I did bookmark it) Sue :smile:...
Hi, I haven't a clue!! :tongue: Susan...
Hi Akhi, In my opinion if anxiety is left untreated, (Medication and/or counseling) it most certainly can get worse. Susan...
I've been taking anti-anxiety meds for about a month and I've been symptom-free!! I'm on a low dose,(0.5) of generic Ativan which I take twice a day. I'm told that it can be rather addictive and...
Hi, I almost choked when I read your symptoms - mine EXACTLY!! I am on a waiting list for some counseling: I just wanted you to know that I'm on a low dose of anti-anxiety meds now, and since. I've...
Paxil did a number on my anxiety; I remember thinking that the anxiety was added to, not stopped at all. I've been taking my antidepressant before bed ; I sleep through the lightheaded feeling I've...
Hi again Carrie, I was taking 60mgs; I don't know what to tell you; I'm just going by my own experience and the experiences of some others. Is it possible for you to get a second opinion? Sue...
Hi Carrie, I would definitely advise NOT stopping cold turkey; I ran out of them and didn't have them for I think three days - I was laughing one minute, crying the next - it was emotional hell!...
I hope so too! (Pain suc*s!) Sue ((((hug))))...
Hey, I get them too. Having "said" that, I'm also a stroke survivor, and I can't tell you how many survivors there are due to a stroke that happened when they had their necks adjusted. The usual...
Since being seen by someone isn't an option for you, what have you tried to manage the pain? (You mentioned a "migraine cocktail"; what about ice, diet changes - that kind of thing?) Sue ((((hug))))...
Hi Deb, With anything new, getting checked out by a neurologist would be my next step. I live in Vermont and was surprised to learn there are headache specialists in the area How are you feeling...
You need to get checked out. I know that if it is a sinus infection medication needs to be taken. If that's ruled out and it is a migraine you can go from there. Sue...
That's incredible!! :turn: I would think further checking into that would be a next step. What does your doctor say?? Sue...

I was diagnosed with DJD of my L spine almost 30 years ago. It's getting pretty bad pain-wise; I know I need to get re-evaluated and am hesitant to do so. couchtater - the recommendation you posted...
Hi, I've been on lansoprazole, (Generic Prevacid) for quite a while and it seems to work just fine for me. (I'm certainly aware when I don't take it!!) I'm a lot older than you so I take extra...

[/purple]Hi Geo, Not knowing the cause of something can be nerve racking to say the least. I did have an endoscopy a few years ago that found moderate inflammation. I was then offered another test...
My opinion - find a new doctor; the one you have sounds overworked. You deserve better! Sue...
I don't have RA myself, but my best friend does. She's been on Methotrexate for a few years now; she seems to do well on it. :-) ...
