alright here's my imput with lexappro. I myself personally really like the stuff. I'm on 20mcg's at the moment. The side effects if any have been very very mild. If I've gained any weight it hasn't...
It does get awfully complicated. I know a lot of symptoms between hypothyroid and FMS can overlap as well. I have hypo thyroid, hashimoto's disease, and fibro. I'm usually in the fribo section but...
Thanks for the support erin. i had a productive day yesterday. It does appear to be fibromyalgia(sp) all test results came back within the normal range so that's good. The RA doctor wants me to try...
hey all. man i'm having a rough day today. I just can't seem to get with the program. I'm still very sleepy. I feel like I could lay down for a nap at this moment. I already hurt and I feel sad...
good morning all hope all is well with everyone. I haven't been feeling to good these last couple of days. I just hurt all over any more. Yesterday afternoon my arms, wrist, hands, shoudlers were...
thanks erin I guess that's his way of handling this sarcassim. I know he cares and i know he cares about my health but when their's nothing he can really do to help I think it makes it difficult for...
I appreciate that K. Its nice to know support is out there. Something else that's been eatting at me. Is it normal for family members not to take you seriously, not to believe you? My husband made a...
hey all just checking in hope all is well. I've been feeling particularly miserable lately. a lot of it has to do with my monthly. I seem to feel worse a week or so before my cycle. I mean more than...
hey all just a quick hello. needed a break from work for a bit. Hope everyone is well. I'm hanging in there aches and pains and all. I've been noticing quite a bit more swelling espically in the...
something else that was kind of strange about my appointment; when i went to check out it was only $15 normally when you see a specialist of any kind you have to have a referral and it's $25 but the...
They didn't seem to terribly concerned about the low blood pressure at the time. In fact I should've gone back to have them check it again before I left the office but didn't think about it after the...
just an update I have started seeing a Rhumey doctor. My first visit was last week spent about an hour with him and after the questions and exams he thinks we're leaning towards fibromyalgia. He said...
I know its not 100% diagnosed but it all makes perfect sense to me the fibro. God it will be such a reliefe to have some answers to know i'm not loosing my mind and to have a doctor that seems so...
I made it through my doctor's appointment and I must say I really like my doctor. He seems very knowledgable and concerned and asked all the general questions and what not. As of right now just from...
Man I'm having a day completely opposite of yesterday. I feel so sleepy today. I just can't come around and all I really want to do is go home and nap. I ache all over and just feel blah. Why can't I...

hi all hope everyone is doing ok. I've been better. Just not with it today at all. I didn't sleep good last night so I know that has a lot to do with my mood today. I"m also hurting all over. I'll go...

you know something yes having autoimmune issues and health problems are a pain in the butt I won't say they aren't, but I think in some ways it makes us very unique people. I mean come on most people...
i just feel weak this morning. my ankles and knees and wrist are already bothering me it starts off so mild and by the end of the day everything is hurting...
Well its hump day half way to the weekend. I certainly didn't get my rest last night and I'm feeling it today. i'm kind of in autopilot mode. I went to bed last night and everything was hurting from...
thank you so much for the input and what to expect. it sure helps to have an idea of what i'll be facing when I get there. My doctor did say I should "probably" be checked for arthitus but he didn't...
Thanks i think i'm going to schedule some lab work next week with my regular doctor that way when they ask about lab work i can say yes i've had that done. I'm feeling pretty good this morning. i...
I think that's what I have going on. I haven't been diagnosed with RA as of yet, but i do have an appointment in a couple of weeks with a RA doctor. It started with all sorts of pain and not feeling...
i have a question; can your PCP admister blood work for RA? My appointment isn't for two more weeks and I just simply am not feeling well at all. I go home every night hurting somewhere generally all...
thanks for the support erin. I've been trying to write it down these last few days the pain and symptoms and what not. I figure if I go in with a two page or more of things maybe they'll take me a...
oh well i tried for the appointment tomorrow it was just a 15 minute time slot and since i'm a new patient that wouldn't work. it was worth a shot. I've lived with these aches and pains for a bout...
well the doctor did have a cancellation for tomorrow morning. I'm trying to work it out where I can go in the morning instead of waiting until may 1st. I figure its better to go while i'm hurting as...
thanks Deb i appreciate it. I just go from one day to the next hurting and wondering what the heck is going on. My appt is set for May 1st. I may call today though and just see if by chance they've...
You might say i just need a shoulder to lean on at the moment. I litterally hurt all over. I was hurting and aching so bad when I got home from work last night I took half a pain pill that my husband...
i can relate too. I have been having incredible pain in my shoulders for the last few months. I've tried everything to relieve the pain from OTC meds to hot baths, heating pads. The heat helps the...
good day all well I know one thing. The heating pad does help my shoulder. I finally broke down last night and used that for a little while. I woke up with my shoulder bothering me again this morning...
greetings all its been a little while since I last wrote. I'm still dealing with this shoulder pain and it seems to be getting worse instead of better. I hurt all the time. Some times not so much as...
Ducky I am Hypo thyroid but I also have a goiter that they are watching which 1 + 1=2 which means that the doctor has me having hashimoto's disease. Unfortunately my doctor's appointment will have to...
hi all. i can't wait to go to the doctor monday. I'm so ready for some answers. I mean I have been living with this shoulder pain for a good two months maybe longer. Plus I noticed last night after...
I haven't had any problems with arthritus before this is a first for me. To me that's what it feels like. Its general all over aches and pains. I haven't had any test as of yet. This has just come on...
well i'll say this is new to me. I not usually one to hurt as far as aches and pains are conserned but this is really starting to worry. Lately I ache all over. not just a dull ache a very noticable...
just an update. I've been doing pretty good this last month or so. I even have a job interview today, keep your fingers crossed. The only thing is; I had a pretty bad anxiety attack yesterday...
boy nothing depresses me more than finances. all i want to do is get out this weekend and go have a drink or something maybe an appetizer along with it. hubby says we don't have the money to go out....
i'm writing again. all i want to do is write at the moment. Sure it might not amount to much in the end but i'm writing and its flowing well. i feel like my mind is open and clear again. I've decided...
I had some of those same symtoms when I stopped taking zoloft. I haven't take the medicine in about 3 weeks and I can honestly say that I have felt better since I haven't been taking zoloft. i'm like...
I was wondering if anyone else went through this when they started out in counseling. Did you ever reach a point where you douted why you were going, why you were taking meds, simply why. I'll be...
Boy I knew yesterdays smooth day was to good to last. hubby and I have faught all morning so now I'm totally in one of my down moods. maybe this week wasn't such a good week to reschedule my...
just a quick note. i am reschudling my counseling appointment for this week only because I've had a couple of other appointments that I forgot about. I hate doing that cause the next appt she has...
i'm so bloomin frustrated right now. its only monday and I shouldn't be feeling this way but what can I say work has that effect on me. Not all work does just where I currently am. I've been trying...
hey lynnwood thanks for the encouragement. I'm assuming the zoloft is to help alivate some of the drepressive symptoms I tend to have. I didn't take it the night before and I must admit I felt better...
i'm having a rough day today. my anxiety is really kicking in and I don't feel good at all. The only thing I feel like doing right now is going home putting on my lounging clothes and curling up on...
