Thanks :) She's doing a lot better and her pain is being managed. No surgery right now, just resting. Wishing everyone a happy holiday season!...
Thanks S.C.! It's definitely carpal tunnel syndrome. I've been wearing wrist braces for the last couple of days. I still have some pain, but the worst part now is the numbness and tingling. I had to...
Thanks S.C.! :) Unfortunately, I have run into a problem with my hands. They have been numb and tingling all weekend. I might have some carpal tunnel going on or it could have to do with my blood...
I went to see my therapist and regular doctor last Monday. I am now on 40 mg of Prozac and 150 mg of Venlafaxine. Next week, I will be on 60 mg of Prozac and 75 mg of Venlafaxine. So far it's working...
Thank you so much, S.C.! :) I had my appointment with the therapist. She is awesome! We had a nice long talk about everything that has happened since I started having problems with the anxiety,...
I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get back and update you all on how I've been doing. We've been busy with school, baseball and everything else that 4 boys can get into! I had been going to my...
Thank you so much, S.C.! You have helped me through my healing process too and I appreciate it more than you will ever know. Thank you! :)...
I just wanted to check in and let you all know that I'm doing great. The new depression medication that I'm on now is making me feel so much better. It's so wonderful to feel excited about life...
Hi S.C.! :) I had a couple of weeks where I was feeling much better, but I was very tired all the time. That got better, but then some of my depression symptoms came back. They were not as bad as...
I had a good appointment with my doctor this morning. My B12 and cholesterol are normal. Blood pressure was 110/82, so she was able to cut one of my meds in half again. I have developed a cough...
Thanks S.C.! :smilewinkgrin: :cool:...
I can definitely tell that my new depression medication is doing the trick. I have not been as lightheaded or anxious when driving. Also, I used to go to bed at around 10:00pm and always wake up at...
Thank you, S.C.! :) After a cold, dreary day of rain and snow yesterday, we are finally going to see some spring. It's supposed to be in the 60s and 70s this week. Hooray! Except for being tired, I'm...
Just wanted to give you all a small update. I've been feeling pretty good lately with only a bad day here and there. With the combination of thyroid and depression meds that my doctors currently have...
I will. Thanks :)...
The endocrinologist called back with my thyroid blood test results. Everything was normal. However, because of the enlargement of my thyroid and the symptoms that I've been having, she has started me...
Thank you! :) Unfortunately, Spring is going to have to wait a little longer. We had such a nice day yesterday with temps in the upper 60s. Today we're supposed to get a little snow, but then Tuesday...
Thank you, S.C.! :) I had a good appointment with my family doctor yesterday. My blood pressure was 112/82, which is so much better than it's been for quite some time. She was able to cut the dosage...
I went to see the endocrinologist yesterday. First off, I'd like to say that my doctor is awesome! She listened to all of my symptoms and asked me lots of questions. After talking with her, she...
Thank you! :) We really need some Spring. We're still getting over some snow we got at the beginning of this week. It has been so dreary outside! I went to see the endocrinologist yesterday. First...
Thank you, S.C.! :) I had a wonderful birthday. My parents took me out to lunch and my husband made me dinner. Unfortunately, I had a lot of anxiety that day. I hate being afraid to drive and go out...
Thank you, S.C.! :) I should get my thyroid function results on the 19th or soon after. I expect my doctor will run lots of tests and I'll have to wait a couple days for the results. I have lost 4.8...
I have had a really good last couple of days. I stopped taking my anxiety medication, which seems to have made a big difference. I think my body is also getting adjusted to the meds I am currently...
I have decided to start losing weight again. I had lost 61 lbs. last year, but once my health problems popped up, I started gaining weight back. I think losing weight and watching what I eat will...
Yesterday was much better! I had no anxiety at all. We'll see what today brings though. We have a cub scout function to go to where there will be lots of people, but I'm sure I will be fine. :)...
I was very anxious and depressed yesterday. Thankfully, that seems to have passed. It's Friday, so I'm focusing on a relaxing weekend. :)...
Thank you, S.C. :) I've been taking my anxiety medication every other day. The day I take it, I have anxiety. The next day after, I hardly have any at all. That seems to be working OK for me know. My...
Yesterday was very good. Hardly any anxiety at all. It seems to be the worst when I have to go out somewhere. I'd love to be able to go out and not have to worry about being lightheaded. The kids are...
Thanks S.C. :) Yesterday was a lot better! I didn't have any lightheadedness at all. I didn't sleep well last night though, so it feels like every muscle in my body aches. The ice started last night...
The start of yesterday was horrible. We took the kids to get haircuts and that was fine. I tried to go grocery shopping after that...big mistake. My anxiety was in full force. The store was full of...
Thanks :) I had to catch up with the laundry yesterday. Dirty clothes for 6 people adds up quickly, especially when everyone is sick. I'm doing a lot better each day. I still haven't gotten my...
Hi S.C. Welcome back! I'm glad you had a nice trip. :) Unfortunately, I've been in bed for the past two days with the flu. It all started last Saturday with one of my kids getting it, then passing it...
I had a pretty good weekend. Trying to get used to my new meds. We have a busy week, so I'm going to try to handle it the best I can. All I want to really do is lay around on the couch. :(...
I had a good appointment with my doctor on Thursday. My blood pressure has come down. It's 130/90 now, but still higher than she'd like, so she changed my medication around a little more. She also...
Yesterday was less stressful, thank goodness. I have an appointment with my doctor this morning, so we'll see what she does with my medications. I need another prescription for my anxiety and...
I had an anxiety attack yesterday. In the morning, I watched in horror as my son's school bus slided sideways down the hill above our house and into a snowbank. We had just enough snow and ice the...
My anxiety yesterday was not as bad. My son was feeling much better, which took away some of my worry. My husband was also home from work, so he took care of picking the boys up from school so I...
My anxiety was in high gear yesterday. :( My youngest son fell and hit his chin on the floor, which resulted in a 1 inch gash. We spent the afternoon in the ER. He was so scared and so was I! The...
Definitely! I am so over this cold weather. We're supposed to get more snow today. I'm ready for spring! Yesterday was pretty good, a lot better than the days before. I've gotten to the point though...
Thank you, Shootingstars! :) No, I have not seen a therapist yet. I expect that might be the next step if all of the tests on my thyroid come back normal. Basically the only thing that has not been...
I found out yesterday that my appointment with the endocrinologist is on March 19th. I wish it was sooner, but right now, I'm just happy that I have an appointment....
Thank you! :) Yesterday was not as good as Monday, but it was still one of my better days. Since I've started taking my anxiety meds every day (I was taking them every other day), the lightheadedness...
Yesterday was heaven. I had hardly any lightheadedness at all and very little pain. I was just tired. I'm hoping for the same kind of thing today! :) Of course, I didn't hear back from my doctor....
Thanks! I'm not sure, but I definitely know that it was in range. I will be getting a copy of my blood work when I go back to the doctor on February 20th. I still haven't heard back from them about...
Family is great! I hope you all had a nice time together. :) I had a pretty good weekend. I wasn't as tired as I had been, but I just felt like being lazy. My husband helped with getting things done...
Yesterday ended up being OK. I was tired and had a slight headache, but I didn't have as much anxiety as I thought I would. I had a nice lunch with my mom and grandmother, then my mom stayed the...
Welcome back! I'm glad you had a nice visit. :) Yesterday was so wonderful! I felt better than I've felt for a couple weeks. I didn't have very much anxiety, no headache and I wasn't lightheaded for...
Thank you for the suggestions, Kitt! :) Yesterday was OK, not as much ear pain but I did have a headache and was extremely tired. I slept most of the day and all night. I'm hoping this is just a...
I had a pretty good day yesterday with not as much ear pain. However, I can tell my anxiety is causing me to clinch my teeth, especially while I'm sleeping at night. I woke up during the night to me...
