Hi Padlela, I hope things are going better for you. My only suggestion would be to look for a "Mom's Club" where you get together with other mothers in your similar position... Just a chance to talk...
I am diagnosed with Depression (and some Anxiety) and started on Prozac (only 10mg to begin) on Sept 15...so its been a week. So far, I feel more upset than usual! The Dr told me NOT to give up and...
I started this (generic for Zoloft) drug on Aug 11, just 5 days ago, and am to take 25 mg for 7 days then the full 50 mg. Today I am SO SICK... diarrhea, horrible nausea, try to throw up, but nothing...
My dr suspects that I could have CFS... I have suffered from low sodium before, but that is now back up to par. I am not only dead tired, sometimes feel like a totally out-of-it zombie, but I so...
Hi, I am sorry you are going through this... The symptoms you have listed are fairly common to IBS-C.... classic constipation problems... If you haven't done so, you need to visit with your dr......
Hi Myself, I think you were probably referring to me in your comments and that's ok! :smile: I never left my 5 year relationship bitterly or 'blaming'... I realized very soon (a therapist helped,...
You need a good lawyer...and I mean one with reputation for winning... and you need a divorce from this woman and make SURE you get FULL CUSTODY of your children... If she cared at ALL...SHE would be...
Hi MrJoe, I'm sorry you are going through that painful ordeal. I assume you have used all the common OTC medications, right? Have you seen a doctor about this problem... ?? If not, I think you...
Mornin' Whiskers! :) Again, thanks for reply. I'll try to condense all of this. IBS had all but disappeared, then apt fire 3 years ago, my denied emotions caught up with me and PSTD resulted so now I...
You've been given some good thoughts/advice, Joey.... The one way that you can contract HIV (which I don't think was mentioned) is through oral sex.... Aside from that, Larry is right on in what he...
Going on a grain free diet pretty well totally cleared up any trace of pesky diarrhea... Trouble is, most people are not willing to give up all grains... and I'm NOT saying its 'fun' or that it isn't...
Thanks for your reply, Whiskers, I have been slack in two areas lately...one drinking at least 48 oz of water perday...AND....exercise. Heavy sigh..... HEH...and I know I would benefit from...

Hi Everyone, Sorry to be so graphic, but just wanted to see if anyone else has this problem (or had in the past) and if you would have any suggestions of advice. For the last couple of months I have...
Hello there, mc88 I am glad that you posted...and that you told about the itchy tickley feeling you are experiencing... For the last several days I have had that feeling in my upper chest...I have NO...
Hi Janet, I'll bet if someone were to come to you and tell you 'your story' and you knew that person was being this upfront and honest...YOU would forgive THEM.... because you sound like a truly nice...
Hi Sul1985! Oh goodness, don't worry about it being an old post. Still happy to get it and receive it...! I so hope your new regimen will work well for you! I am currently having a 'good spell' in...
Thank you, SC!! I appreciate this... I use Melatonin and L Theanine and St John's Wort...but was not familiar with Phenibut.... That looks worth checking out! Thank you again! :) Bettsann...
Not sure how to private msg you. Your mention of the word 'polarized' caught my attention... Yes, Polarization is at an all time high...people are showing up for who they 'really are' and not being...
I get quite a bit of help from some homeopathics... but wondering if any of you have tried other things like "Sunny Mood"...and had success with it. I started taking that supplement on the 10th and...
Well, here is the other side of it! :) I have taken 3 (sometimes 6 mg) of Melatonin at night a half an hour before I take my half of a Unisom...and I have never had this reaction... I am so sorry if...
I was wondering if this was common to any of you. Sometimes I go through periods in which I have hardly any diarrhea or constipation (for which I am really grateful! :turn: ) but still I will go...
I had a ct scan done about 5 months ago and everything was fine. But I am going through one of my 'I'm scared its colon cancer' things... I'm pretty sure some of you can relate. :confused: Anyway,...
I have had CFS off and on for a number of years. I do fairly well keeping it at bay when my anxiety levels are down... I was wondering if any of you have any bowel related problems with your CFS......
You are right, S.C. I should just have ignored it and did not show good judgment in responding in that manner. Not as an excuse, but I honestly didn't know if this was a serious inquiry or not. I...
Sorry about this... but maybe you have a curable allergy when it comes to the letters: T's and h's .... Self help is usually the answer... There is a span of 20 minutes between 7:40 and 8:00......
Hi Acer! Just wanted to say Hello! Glad you found this forum. I am sorry about what you are going through...I know exactly where you are coming from...and just want to say you are going to do just...
It IS normal to have a slow pulse rate if you exercise a lot... Most professional athletes' pulse rate can be even lower than 60... Your symptoms could simply be that of anxiety... But I am all for...
Hi, So sorry about what you have been enduring... This may be a sort of 'outside chance' idea... but I have heard of hypnosis as REALLY helping people out when even meds failed... Am wondering if you...
I just want to say Thank You (and all the people who responded to you) for your post regarding different side effects of starting a new med.... Your post and the great responses came at just the...
Hi BT What you are describing is NOT uncommon (that alone usually makes a person feel better! :) )... I, too, have a feel this is not 'physically' caused but triggered by anxiety surrounding the...
:-) Hi Park! Thank you for the response... Nice to see you in 'this room' too. I always so enjoy your posts! Yes, it probably is a combination of those things... Plus, I FINALLY started my Prozac on...
Mercy, Jax! I so hope you are now feeling better and everything is better for you all the way around! I would really do a lot of research concerning FOOD... and keep a food chart. It can be a bother,...
If you have put up with it for this long ... and your doctor DID diagnose you with IBS and STILL tells you 'its in your head'... I think its time to see another doctor. Seriously! You deserve better...
Not sure what you mean by 'attack'...but...maybe this will help. If you have had a really rough time on the stool...really severe diarrhea, or if your abdomen is in a lot of pain ... then it would...
Hi there, Glad your dr visit turned out so well! YAY! :) Sometimes, what can help an earache is putting several drops of hydrogen peroxide into your ear... You can also use a product called Debrox...
Please make an appt. with an eye doctor... you need to do this to alleviate your fears... There are eye conditions in which it is common to see flashing lights...correctable ones! :smile: Good luck...
When I first had IBS about 15 years ago, it was more like just a terrible inconvenience...I would have diarrhea, never knowing when, and then after a number of times, it would 'go away'... It kept me...
Could you visit with a therapist? I think that would really benefit you a lot... just talking it out...openly...saying whatever you wish to say to take this feeling away.... Maybe a doctor could...
Rest every minute that you can....don't worry one minute about housework or cooking... Park has the right idea... know that you WILL get past this, you WILL get over this! Honest... try to just calm...
Hi Park! It will feel sooooooo good when they both pass! Eh? :) Maybe watch a good funny movie tonight...that's what I'm gonna do! Take care! Bettsann...
Hi everyone, Well, if you 'believe it or not' actually makes no difference... it DOES affect you... Why do you think ER's put on extra staff during a full moon... :eyes: Or check the obit columns...
Hi Park, Have you considered or tried going on the Paleo diet ... its not easy...but it can work miracles when it comes to ibs... takes awhile and you can't cheat by one single bite... and it takes a...

Hi rrrich! I don't believe in the kind of a god that is an entity separate from ourselves...the kind that is 'human like'... to me, god (or whatever one wants to call this Divine Power) simply IS...
Thank you, Leno, for your post! Yes, it IS encouraging! Bettsann...
Scaredy Cat, that is the most perfect comeback!! And no, Cianna, I am not trying to make light of the way you feel, either. I am not kidding you though... sometimes a little revenge can put sort of a...
:turn: Good for you, Albanian!! And YES, you DO have the right attitude...and hey, don't WORRY if symptoms return... the less 'credit' or 'power' you give them, the sooner they will leave and the...
