Hey Cricket!
I am so happy ro hear you are feeling better! Mestinon is pretty good stuff!
Is there any way you can get a little time off to regroup and get your symptoms under control? I'm going to try and call my neuro 2morrow - feeling like crap again! Wonky eye (eye goes off kilter and hurts) and really weak, but you take the good with the bad.......Hopefully he'll just bump up my steroids! I'll take sideburns and weight gain in order to feel better!!!!! Take care! :hug:Erin:hug: Quote:

I finally saw the neuro today....I felt so disappointed....He added additional mestinon...timespan for nighttime...in addition to the 90mg three times a day....he then, told me that I was depressed and changed my celexa 20mg to Cymbalta 60mg....I guess I am feeling that he thinks all of this is in my head....
I know what I am feeling...the blurry vision, slurred speech and difficulty forming my words at times....falling and stumbling....and being so tired....and then...to have the doc asked me if I felt like harming myself....NO, my body is causing me harm...not me! That thought never has crossed my mind.. I am so confused! |

Hey Erin,
Luckily, I have not had to deal w/ depression. Although I have had some episodes-for sure! Just keep taking care of you. You are strong & have an insight into yourself, which is essential!!!! You Go Girl! Nancy Lee Quote:

Hey Cricket

I have those days too!!!
Hi Cricket! I have those days where I just eat chocolate, watch old movies and stay in my jammies - I call them my "mental health" days!!!!!:D
They make all the difference in the world!!!:D You'll feel better soon!!!!! :hug:Erin:hug: Quote:

Mmmmm, chocolate and PJs -nothing better! I've been lucky and not really suffered from any diagnosed depression. I've never been on meds for it or anything. However, that being said - when I was very poorly last year I cried every day during December and January. I didn't think about self-harm but I did imagine that things would have been a lot easier for my husband if I wasn't such a burden (obviously HE didn't think that or make me feel that way, it was just my perception). Since i regained my independence I also regained my positive attitude. Of course I still have days, but no more than a normal person. In fact at school fellow teachers often comment on the fact that i am far too happy for my own good!
January and February are notoriously tough months for mental health - we'll just have to stick it out together! Hugs to everyone! Kathy Quote:
