Title: Despite the fact I am chronic... Post by nancyc on Nov 2nd, 2004, 7:32pm Despite the fact, I fight the damn beast and the effects of all the meds I am on...I am so blessed! I have not given up...Depression got ahold of me awhile back and I signed off from this mb cause I did not feel alot of support like I used to here....Some of you guys and gals still loved me enough to contact me as I have tried to do the same for alot of you over the years...anyway, I started on Prozac, started a second job on a med surg unit at a local hospital...and am building my self esteem again....Chs have a tendency to tear that down...but I was determined NOT to let that happen to me...I am a survivor...I have learned this over the years at ch.com...DJ helped me realize this when he got me to watch someone else suffer a ch....I saw then HOW strong I had to be to Survive that shit...anyway, thanks to those that loved me enough to keep in touch with me...I have tried to be there for my fellow chs...and do appreciate the support I receive here...God bless those that realize that LOVE is what it is all about! smiles, nancyc Ps I am having a fantasic time with my grandson...he is my lifeline! |

Title: Re: Despite the fact I am chronic... Post by Jayne on Nov 3rd, 2004, 9:09am Hey Nancy. I am so pleased you got some help for your depression. I know how crippling it can be. I have seen my brother go through it and was shocked at what it did to him. He took prozac for a while and it turned him around thank God. The docs in England would not give him anything. They told him to do yoga and some deep breathing....can you believe that??? Well, he finally came to the point where he could not function on a basic level and was suicidal. My sister and I flew him to Miami...and it was a nightmare to get him on the plane. We took him to a psycologist and they put him on prozac straight away. Within two weeks he was back to being my nutter brother again. I just wanted to share this with you because I know what this can do to a person. Welcome back sweetie. I am dancing for you that you got help. Love Jayne |

Title: Re: Despite the fact I am chronic... Post by maria9 on Nov 5th, 2004, 8:52pm Nancy, welcome back and I am so glad to hear that you are feeling better. Here are some facts for the rest of you out there: Depression destroys brain cells, mostly in the hippocampus area of the brain, which is responsible for emotions (depression) as well as for memory loss. Get this all of you out there that are struggling with some depression, depression actually does destroy parts of the brain and once you go on anti-depressants, 70% of new neuron growth is evident within 4-8 weeks of going on the anti-depressant. If, you have chronic pain of any type you are increasingly likely to have depression. If you have depression, an anti-depressant is known to have pain modulating properties. Also, the first anti-depressant that you go on may not be the right one for you, you may need to try a few different ones or a combination of drugs before you find the right elixir for you. Nancy, I wish the best of luck to you as always. Being an episodic with remission periods of 4-5 years currently, I was blown away by my depression after my last cycle, last spring. After the cycle was over I felt a brief feeling of elation as I got a full nights sleep, but then the persistant feeling of malaise set in. Luckily it was over in a few weeks, but I would like to be insistent here that if anyone feels a sense of depression to go seek help as it truly is damaging to your brain. Marsha |
