Are Dr. Aye and Dr. Wright both at Swedish?...
First of all she is lucky to have someone so loving in her life. Her "Issues with you" are a diversion so that she doesn't have to look at her own issues or doesn't have to take responsibility for...
It is very possible that you may be experiencing peri-menopausal symptoms. I too have dealt with depression much of my adult life and things did change when I got to that stage. Also, for some...
All of these things are in your own control to change. Take charge. Getting even one of these things straightened out will not "cure" your depression, it will however help you deal with it. Don't...
It has been a long time since I have been on the forum. I am 51 and have been dealing with depression in one way or another all of my adult life. In am happy because of a few things that I figured...

If you are serious about Rhodiola Rosea check out the book listed below. It is very readable, it is a story of personal experience of a medical practitioner and the authors don't get any kickbacks...
My husband has acid reflux. He has been seeing a Gastroenterologist who has him taking Nexium (just doubled the dose). He has some esophogial damage but his last scope biopsy came back nonspecific....
We all need to have a support system but you have to be in charge of dealing with your anxiety. There is a fine line between being in charge and being dependant. What to you do to deal with anxiety...
LoveDove, I don't take the bioidents for much. I use Vagefem for the incontinence thing. I use a progesterone cream to keep things steady while my body goes through a natural process. I had times...
I have had migraines since I was 16. They were hormonally related to my cycle, had food triggers and light sensitivity. Since I began walking through the mine field of menopause my headaches have...
My husband has had Acid Reflux for 35 years. He was put on Nexium (has tried other meds) which definately takes care of the heartburn. After at least 5 years on Nexium he has come up with anemia (we...
B77 it isn't stupid. Birthdays have traditions without which it just doesn't feel like a birthday. I suspect you just need someone to listen and validate how you are feeling. Next year prior to the...
When I read your original post I thought AWESOME!!! I came to that point and since I took charge everything has been better. It isn't lways easy but it is worth it! You can see yourself as a strong...

Dad's a retired doctor so he is more likely to see the sense in what a doctor tells him. He does not need dialysis at this time. His Potasium is really high so he has to get that under control....
I think that you have taken some good steps to move forward. Calling the doctor is a great step, now actually go to the appointment. You have to learn to manage your depression for yourself. I think...
Dad had his appointment with the Nephrologist. I have not been able to talk to him about it but talked to Mom. I have to be a little bit careful there as I am not sure that she knows why he went on...
There are many things in the world that make me go hmmmmmmm. The challenges that anyone faces as they navigate the world and what makes them "successful" or not is one of those things. I always try...
Definately consult your doctor but here is what I did when I need to switch. I took the morning dose on a Saturday then took my next dose on Sunday evening. No issues, no effects just a switch that...
Lovely little thread. Everything, EVERYTHING, including depression, how we handle it and how we are perceived is about attitude. Depression is a butt kicker but I simply refuse to be a victim. I know...
Thanks for the info. I don't have to get a referral because I have a PPO health plan. My dad is seeing a nephrologist in September. I think I wait to see how he likes her and then make a decision...
I LOVE Imitrex! I get barrametric migrains and Imitrex is my best friend. When my doctor suspected that I might benefit from Imitrex she had me come in when I had a headache. My headache as really...
F4Y, you do sound tired. The good news is that you have within you the ability to change anything that you want to. You yourself said that you don't know why you put up with whatever you put up with....
You're not the only one. I used to get depressed in August every year. For me it is related to the school calendar. I was a teacher for 12 years but had to change occupations. I love to teach and...
Thanks for the info. Sorry I took so long to check back, I forgot I had posted here until I got a reminder from my doctor. The thing is that I have never had kidney stones. We have no idea what...

If you can, elevate your head and shoulders at night. It may help you with the acid at night and perhaps you can sleep better....
My husband has Acid Reflux that is nonspecific for (?) hydroplasia (I think that is right). I pop in here once in a while to see what is going on and to be heads up. Now that I have scared myself...
I have had Hydronephrosis for a couple of years (bulge in my kidney). The thing about it is that I don't have kidney stones nor do I have ongoing pain. It was discovered by accident when I had an...
Get a new doctor!...
I see a naturalpath for my headaches. I highly recommend accupuncture and I also take an herbal preventative everyday that has been wonderful. It takes about 3 to 4 months to take hold but is worth...
What you can do is to get off your meds gradually instead of suddenly....
Count me in on the you are an adult and need to live your own life side. Also, it was unfair of your dad to emotionally manipulate the situation. I am sorry to hear of his health but that is a...
Thank you...
You need to talk to your doctor about the foot thing. There are a few conditions that can cause that burning and tingling so it may not be side effect related at all....
My husband is a scuba diver and I was recently reading in a dive magazine that divers are regularly found to have brain lesons. The article mentioned migraine related lesions so I did some research...
I just wanted to report something that I have had success with. I see a Natrualpathic doctor and she has begun a daily preventative dose of Feverfew. This is a long used medicinal herb that has no...
It always helps to hear other ideas. I will not pay for a membership for any of this kind of stuff but rather am checking books out from the library. I really need to have the following question...

I have had migraines since I was 16. They were definately hormonally or food triggered. Early in mty 40's the character of my headaches changed and they became more weather related. I live in the...
I ususally post on another forum but came to the experts to get some questions answered. I am not diagnosed with diabetes but know that I am at risk for developing it. I wondered if any of you have...
...
My issue is the anxiety that came with menopause and that kind of change. I would try to "handle" and deal with anxiety for month after month before depression would come on. I suspect that the...
My doctor (naturalpath) is convinced, as am I, that my anxiety is all about hormonal ups and downs associated with menopause. I do believe there is a huge correlation and since exploring that issue...
Not at all the same product. Both Lexarpo (Escitalopram Oxalate) and Celexa (Citalopram Hydrobromide) are Seratonin Reuptake Inhibitors. Lexapro is the next generation of Celexa but both are...
Missie, Write your letter then stop poking the bear. You are truly better off without her. Go forward and live your own life, find your own truth and build your own land of fun (of course you still...
It is heartbreaking to watch those that we love go through difficult situations. The truth is that the only thing you can do is validate how he feels by backing off and letting him be responsible for...
Just a thought. You may have OCD but your are not OCD. Whatever conditions we have do not have to define who we are. Give yourself a break and reject labels that others try to put on you. It will...
