Guest guest Posted June 17, 2000 Report Share Posted June 17, 2000 hello, this is in response to message 24, about ssri 2 years ago , I got a script for paxil,10mg(smallest dose you can take) for panic attacks (not for my cfids) it really turned out to be great for a few things -- better, longer, rested, sleep, elevated mood, altho, that was not a problem and general well being I was happy with those positive effects as for negative side effects -- decrease libido somewhat, and unfortunately, I became slightly jaundice, the jaundice was not severe, but of course it bothered me and family members, most strangers may not have noticed it, but i could not get rid of it and felt that it was directly resulting from the paxil, although i do not think everyone will have that reaction, it is not any more of a liver stressor than any other medication, i think my particular condition is prone to liver sensitivity, altho on an initial liver screen blood test, nothing came up as a red flag i really liked the paxil alot and am sorry to have had to discontiue it, i took it for 1 and a half years, it was about after the first 6 months that my body started to work with it and i had the best results, the sleep was wonderful, i could sleep through family morning noise and even the telephone i was told, i could sleep late in the morning also, it was great for my panic attacks, which virtually stopped i miss it, but could not stand looking at a yellow face in the mirror, that was upsetting right now i am not doing any supplements, vitamins or anything for a bit, am thinking of doing a 3 week ultra clear sustain diet, ultra clear is cleansing protein drink, that one takes daily, starting in small amounts and building up, one can also eat off a specified menu of non allergy type foods or one can follow ones own dietary limitations i did the ultra clear in 1998 and i noticed postive results, it is just a 3 week regimen, i got the ultra clear from a chiropractor near me, but one cannot buy it at any retail store ( health food store or otherwise) one has to get it from a licensed professional i definitelly felt a benefit from it and as soon as i get the discipline i will start another 3 week program, back to the paxil, i think it is a great medication if one is considering those kinds of meds i have had cfids for 10 years, and found paxil to be one of the most helpful things also i work with the mentally ill in a nondemanding position which i really enjoy (limited hours, 16 -24 hrs/week) I see and hear alot about medications, their influence, side effects......... in talking with co workers, paxil is a " good " medication, it is mild and subtle, and it works well this is the first i have written to the list, i joined the beginning of may it is supportive, and i enjoy learning the medical terms for my symptoms as my doctor is somewhat supportive, but i have teach him about this illness good to be in touch lori Re: Coagulation/Doctor visit > >Phil, a question, >you mention that your very low sedimentation rate is a sign of >hypercoagulation if I understand you correctly.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2000 Report Share Posted June 21, 2000 Hi, Barb & Phil, > >I did a quick search of Altavista and medical/dental sites, couldn't >find anything. I mean it was a quick search, I have a long time dental phobia. > ><< Barb > >Thanks for the warning. Do you remember where you read about the peroxide >and oral cancer? >Phil > >> I did a Medline search on peroxide and oral cancer over the last 5 years, and did not get anything; a search on peroxide and cancer and induction yielded 76 refs, with none having to do with cancer induction by H2O2. That said, it is generally recognized that H2O2 as such is a agent that will damage DNA, and can yield mutations that would lead to cancer. But it is a very weak mutagen, especially compared with petrochemicals, and will not penetrate unbroken mucosal membranes or cellular membranes to get into cells where it can damage DNA. Its cancer-promoting action in the mouth is probably limited to the local irritation and surface oxidation. That means that ti would onlyl be a risk if overused; and would reduce the cancer risk associated with infected gums.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2001 Report Share Posted May 8, 2001 ...... " I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed that at certain major junctions in their lives that they see the PA develop more rapidly " ..... ...... " it all starts when something, illness, injury, stress, etc, triggers a key in our immune system. this makes it think there is something trying to harm us, and it goes into over time " ..... My P first showed up on a family vacation 6 years ago. We always seem to push ourselves and try to fit too much driving and too many activities into everyday and I tend to try and over organize things and get myself pretty stressed out! The PA showed up last summer during a 5-week cross-country trip (Oregon to New Brunswick, Canada and back!). Lots of fun but extremely exhausting. I never got a full nights sleep (we pulled a pop-up trailer), we ate really poorly because we were always in a hurry (and there was a Mcs or Burger King around every corner) and it was very physically demanding. A few years ago I developed ulcerative colitis (which, as I understand it, is also caused by an overactive immune system) after getting a parasite somehow. After taking medication to get rid of the parasite I still had the symptoms. The doctor explained that my body " still believed I had the parasite " and decided to keep attacking it! How nice. I'm working on the stress thing....we are now planning our summer vacation and I'm promising myself not to over do it! Wishing you all a pain-free, itch-free day!

For me, my first flare was during a period of extreme job stress. No one knew at the time it was PA. I was diagnosed with EVERYTHING but. My diagnosis came after a septic infection from a kidney stone. But even that took weeks for the docs. to figure out it was PA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 --Amy, I'm sure everyone of us has similar experiences if they look back. When I was just 26 years old I ruptured 2 discs in my back and ever since then I have had problems. I used to tell people-Boy, don't ever hurt your back-Your whole body will start to fall apart. I have also had a major car accident and two hard surgeries all within two years. All this has just about totaled me. I doubt if they could get anything for me at the salvage yard. There was alot of stress at work , raising teenagers and losing loved ones during these years too. All we can do is try and hang in there but like most of us I'm sure you find it as irritating as I do not to be able to do the things you want or should be doing. Sometimes I feel so lazy because I just cannot seem to accomplish anything! Have a Happy Day-We all deserve at least that. DENA- In @y..., amy.charron@o... wrote: > .....

I can relate to that. Also, I think sometimes since we don't show our pain on the outside, others think that of us too. Just this week I had a raging fight with my hubby because I told him I did something (I forget what) around the house and he said " It's about time you did something " Grrrr! I think I got so angry because he is usually so supportive. I know it was a joke too, but it's still a woman's privilege to get mad at her husband, right??

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2001 Report Share Posted June 27, 2001 Cat- So sorry! I confused you with the mom af another adult who has just started to show some changes in behavior. I did a little search of your very first post and now I have my facts straight. Now I wonder who the other new member is who wrote in recently. There have been loads of new members in the last month and some days I read the digest very quickly. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2002 Report Share Posted December 21, 2002 Ok I am jelious... I dont believe in Santa and we dont celebrate Christmas like you all do , but I love hearing about your swaps. I finally got to go to Kae's site and look arround, I truely love your bunny soap molds and the things you sell on there. I am new to the group and am learning to make soaps I have melt and pour soap stuff right now, with colors and fragrances to add. I joined because we have mini nubian diary goats and I love goat milk soap. I have had some from Pat Fountain in Broadlibin and some from Dottie Cross down hear albany. I truely love Pats Mint Goat milk soap and my mil loves her lavendar. I hope by next year to be able to participate in the swap and recieve such lovely things as you all have gotten. I have been busy taking care of Faith who is now 4 1/2 months old. Today my mil brought us clothing to go through from a cousin and with her was my hubbys nephew who just got out of basic training and school. Good thing I had put on hot water for tea and threw in Orange cinn. rolls..... She was playing Santa brought up gifts for the family. It is snowing like crazy here right now... we have gotten a few inches so far. We are up on the hill outside Munnsville NY and it gets snowy here even when Stockbridge valley gets nothing. It will be a white Christmas for most of you I would think since its white here. I am working on new pages for my website and will be adding things this coming year. Lord willing I will be able to make more soap inbetween homeschooling the boys and feeding faith.

Wellbutrin is no better than the SSRIS because it has the ability to cause strokes (especially when combined with SSRIs) and seizures. Your friend's problems are never going to go away as long as he is inthe clutches of the psychiatric cabal. Almost all of us weaned off of multiple drugs without the assistance of a doctor, most of whom know less than NOTHING about tapering people off psych meds. The bottomline is that the drugs don't work. Period. Look at Spalding Gray. Blind Reason a novel of espionage and pharmaceutical intrigue Think your antidepressant is safe? Think again.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Saranya, LDN should always be taken between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. wherever you are. Don't worry about the time zone change. If it's 10 p.m. in India, take it then. Have a great trip. ________________________________________________________________ Speed up your surfing with Juno SpeedBand. Now includes pop-up blocker!
