Re: I am in Illinois too!! wow

[Guest guest]

Lots of us in IL, maybe it is in the air? I have 3 very close friends with MS<

2 with Lupus, 1 with RA, 4 with fibromyalgia. - and no we did not meet in any

illness related ways. LOL.

It is common for people with a chronic disorder to be on antidpressants. I am

nervous of them, tho, due to me being bipolar and my husband and daughter also

being bipolar. Antidepressants are not a good med choice for bipolar people,

ever. SOmetimes I blame the bipolar when I am down and blue, but usually I

blame grief over changes in lifestyle. Many meds can cause change of

moods.....and so can how you feel with how your life is going. I cannot yet

tell if I am so fatigued due to depression aspects, meds or the illness,

probably it is a combo of all of them.

Actually when I was still trying to be diagnosed with my Lupus-RA- I had so many

docs blow off my sympptoms and tell me it was a manifestation of my bipolar.

That was very frustrating.
