I only had 8 days in group. I really don't think it's enough, but we will see. I will continue the work. I just wish he would have talked to me and explained the rational. I worry because he works...
Anxiety can affect temperature. This could have been the case, but: Most would be quite surprised at the number of nurses don't know how to take an accurate temperature. If it is the under the tongue...
I agree ........ anxiety sucks!!!! I'm new to this and really hoping I can get a handle on this. First medication I tried didn't help and may have even made it worse. I'm in counceling. My prayers go...
Thoughts and prayers sent your way...
My psychiatrist decided I no longer need 3 day a week therapy /community/emoticons/mad.gif /community/emoticons/sad.gif . I don't know how he decided that. I guess I'll just do as instructed and hope...
I am still in counseling 3 days a week. I threw up in the MRI machine last week, so you know I'm definitely not over it. I hate having to pay for this. I may look for a lawyer to file a product...
Don't know if people out there know this, but workers comp (at least in WV) don't pay for psychiatric issues ...... such as anxiety. about a month ago I ended up in a psychiatric hospital for anxiety...
So for those of you who remember me I was ******[in a bad place] about 2 months ago. During that time I had reoccurring thoughts of elevators falling with me. I would pray to God for it to happen....
Well, I usually post on the depression and fibromyalgia sites, but felt someone here may be better equipped to help me deal with recent experience. I do have depression, quite severely a couple...
So some of you may have read my previous posts. I was severely depressed July-Aug. During that time I was not only *******, but had re-occurring intrusive thought. Falling ******* in an elevator was...
Last night I couldn't go to sleep because I kept hearing a tune over & over. It wasn't really just like a song stuck in my head. It was like I could hear it. This ever happen to anyone?...
Saw the psychologist. She is going to try to get me in to the psychiatrist quicker. She thinks I really need to get in sooner because she believes (as do I) that I need medication. I have to go back...
I agree, depression sucks. I've sat here for five minutes trying to figure what to write next, but I think depression sucks says it best....
This is kinda what I was wondering. Next to your 8 my 20 don't sound so bad. I'm just trying to figure out how much my level could be affecting me....
Just got back my some labs. At our lab the normal range for Vitamin D is 30-100ng/ml. My level was 20.4ng/ml. Is this very low? Low enough to cause cognitive problems?...
I finally went to my family doctor. She fussed at me for not seeking help when I was suicidal. I told her I didn't come in because she would have admitted me and I didn't want that. She couldn't deny...
Said a prayer before writing response and will continue to add your family to my prayers. No mother should loose a child. I don't know how anyone gets through it....
I was happy that I read this post yesterday. I went to Walmart today and left my purse in the buggy when I put it in cart wrack. I noticed it was not in my passenger seat as I pulled out of parking...
A migraine for over a month? Is she seeing someone for this? Migraines usually don't last this long....
I have an appointment with my regular doctor next Tuesday. Am going to ask her to refer me to a psychiatrist and rheumatologist. Fingers crossed....
Scaredy Cat said... This could be part of a symptom of anxiety called depersonalization/derealization. It is fairly common, and could be what is causing your 'flat' effect. That is actually a good...
OK, pleading ignorance. What does ME stand for?...
I have depression. Sometimes I think I have anxiety attacks also. Only thing is if someone looks at me they will think I have a flat affect. Seems the more anxious I am the more introverted I go....
I'm not sure if I should be asking, but how does she blame you? I'm struggling with depression right now and hate that my husband has suffered with me. I don't think I've ever blamed him for my woes...
I know about the 18 points they talk about and I have 16 of them. I also seam to have points on my elbows. It's at the point where your elbows touch your waist (if that makes sense). My ribs in front...
I have an appointment with an endocrinologist tomorrow. My cardiologist is trying to figure out why my heart rate is so high. I have more angina when it gets over 100. I starting to wonder if my...
Anna I can't cry. My eyes have stopped making tears. Really. Don't know why. Just one more thing they can't explain. I just wish I (or the lovely doctors who don't mind taking my money while they...
Right now I'm mentally running at about 85% (my own physical state is another matter). I think I'd be fine on my usual unit (which I'm still not on due to recovering from shoulder surgery). I have...
On my state's RN renewal form it asks if you know of any reason / have any condition which could prevent you from taking appropriate care of your patients (not sure how it's exactly worded). I've...
I got to find a psychiatrist. The more I think about it ...... the more I worry about it happening again. I'm a nurse ....... I'm afraid if I was like this again I could miss something and someone...
It's crazy how one can think one way logically but truly believe another. I work at a hospital. Last week, two days after I woke up, I saw my neurologist who I've been to ...... I don't know 3-4...
I sooooooo wish I could put into words how I feel (and felt last week). Things that point me in the direction of depression. I'm still think I'm somewhat depressed. I don't find joy in things I...
I don't know how to describe how I felt last week. I'm looking for a way to figure out if I was severely depressed or in a fibro fog. Does anyone know how to tell the difference? Any input will be...
/community/emoticons/confused.gif 'm trying to decide if what I was having was a fibro fog or severe depression. I can't begin to explain how different I feel mentally now compared to just over a...
Sjogren's test negative. Eyes still hurting and dry. On second round of steroids and got script for restasis (Not sure how to spell it - it is supposed to help me make tears). Waiting on insurance to...
I'm new here also. Just wanted to say hi. My worst pain is also in my ribs....
I just wanted to come back on and say that I don't know why, but I am doing so much better. Physically nothing has changed, I'm still exhausted and in pain, but my mind has cleared up soooooooo much....
[img]/community/emoticons/yeah.gif /community/emoticons/yeah.gif My Fibro-Fog has lifted /community/emoticons/yeah.gif /community/emoticons/yeah.gif /community/emoticons/yeah.gif [/color] I can't...
/community/emoticons/yeah.gif The fibro fog / depression lifted 3 days ago /community/emoticons/yeah.gif . I can't believe how bad I got. I don't know what caused it to get better - wish I did and...
Oh, forgot (no really my mind is better). My doctor tested me for Lupus and Sjogren's syndrome this past week. I should get the results next week....
I got the Systane. Thanks everyone. I am using it in between the steroid drops the doctor prescribed for me. On a happy note my fog lifted 3 days ago. It took coming out of the fog to realize how bad...
I saw the eye doctor on Wednesday. Was as soon as I could get in (long weekend and Tuesday was crazy at work). He looked at my eyes and said they "are a mess". I'm no longer producing tears and have...
Angelic, soooo sorry about your vision getting worse each year. Going blind is one of if not my biggest fears. At somewhere around 13y old my vision went from 20/20 to where now without my glasses I...
Thanks moderator for telling me what I did wrong. I'm just in such a fog. Nothing new I try to read and learn at this time seams to get through my thick scull. My hubby always asks me how I'm doing....
I'm finding that recently I'm having to ask my husband to repeat what he just said. Now my husband has always spoke in long sentences, but I've never had this problem before. It seams like by the...
Eyes are hurting again tonight. I've noticed it hurts worse when I'm looking at things at differing distances. It also makes them hurt worse to look up. Spent the day with my Mom and she noticed me...
My eyes hurt so bad last night I had to take a pain pill that I had left over from shoulder surgery. Didn't help much. This morning they feal better. Keeping my fingers crossed that the pain stays at...
I'm also new and don't know much .... yet. I would also recommend doing a search for planter faciitis. Pain that is worse after you have been off them for awhile is one of the tale tale signs....
I don't know why/if I'm hiding from the diagnosis. I do state it when in hospital and nurse taking history I've just never had a doctor check me for those spots. I also have Raynaud's disease for...
I've had really bad eyesight since I was in Jr high. Now it seams like I get blurry spots. I end up cleaning my glasses all the time - there's nothing there. Also, my eyes actually hurt. Is this...
