Sorry, I haven't posted in a long time, but now I have a new issue I'd like to explore...Obviously, many people with Crohn's have problems being too thin, but I'm about 100 pounds overweight, and I...
I want to ditto what the others said about not having a gap in coverage...in general, for most decent companies having decent insurance. However, there are insurances that are so bad that they never...
I just thought I'd tell everyone about this product I saw at my endocrinologist's office, called the I-Port. It's for people who take shots. For those of you familiar with insulin pump infusion sets,...
I thought I'd kvetch (yiddish for "*****") about my life for awhile, because I have no one else to really vent to. As you can see from my signature, I have a number of serious health issues, not all...
I started to have OCD when I was about 8. I didn't have non-OCD generalized panic attacks until I was 21-22, though....
I have read the book, although it was ten years ago and I don't remember the details. I just remember it made me very, very angry, especially at his treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. I seem...
Oh, Teresa, I am so sorry. We've never talked before. My name is Jenn. I have been in that hell that you're in now, when I thought there was only one way out. I don't know your situation, and I've...
It sounds like you are having a panic attack, and it does sound like you are having a very bad and confusing day. What I would do is this....when you get home from work, try to sleep. (Hold on, hear...
Kitt, I've only been on the depression and A/P forums for a couple of days now and you've already helped me several times, and I thank you so much for that. I don't really have any new advice that...
"I feel guilty when I am overwhelmed because I know there are others with much worse problems." You know, whenever others have told me that there are others out there who are worse off, I have always...
Believe it or not, I know how you feel. I've been dealing with chronic illnesses all my life, and it makes me very depressed sometimes. Lately my depression has been getting worse because in April I...
A lot of people (mostly people who haven't dealt with it themselves) can be real loons (so to speak!) about depression. I agree with you that depression can kill you as fast or faster than many of...
Thanks, everybody...no, I didn't actually physically get booted off the site, to answer your question, stkitt. I just quit because I got sick of having all these people gang up on me. I just don't...
Ok, so I was on another forum, not related to HealingWell, for another disease that I have, and I basically said that people who don't have a disease can't understand what that's like. Not so...
I have had increasing amounts of hypoglycemia unawareness over the years; now I'm at the point that I don't feel it until I'm in the 30's or 40's, and it doesn't matter whether or not I've been...
Hi Uncle, I've had type I since I was ten, also. I just wanted to suggest that if you're looking for a great deal of wonderful advice and information, both dlife.com and diabetes.org (the ADA...
Hi, I'm new here, but I thought I'd share. I started having terrible depression and anxiety when I was 8 years old, and then was diagnosed with type I when I was 10. I don't know that the two are...
Oh, and I find my saving grace is Ativan, when all else fails. That crap really takes the edge off, no matter what. I use "crap" in its most positive sense!...
Hi! I usually post on the Crohn's forum, but I thought I'd give this a go. Probably one of the reasons I never posted here before today is that I've been doing so well. I started having terrible,...
Hi, I usually hang around on the Crohn's forum, but I've also suffered from depression and OCD my whole life. I was on Prozac for years, and never had any problems from it. But that doesn't mean a...
