Guest guest Posted April 24, 2002 Report Share Posted April 24, 2002 My husband is pretty good about my FMS, but he gave me a look of disbelief when I told him that sometimes I am just too tired to pick up a spoon and put food in my mouth--even getting a piece of bread from the kitchen is too much (so I keep a package of crackers and a 2 liter bottle of pop by my bed when i'm in rough shape)....the BAD neurologist that I saw thought that this was a sign that I was clinically depressed and demanded I see a psychiatrist! Which is a bunch of crap IMO-I am not seeing him again--and he hasn't gotten paid yet....it's the disease that causes the fatigue....it seems that the ONLY people that understand this part of the diesase are the ones with FMS/CFS. -2 kmnewberry@... _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2002 Report Share Posted April 24, 2002 i feel for you, my neurologist 'suggested' that I was depressed & wanted to put me on celexa. I didn't deal with him anymore. Don't they see that we are not clinically depressed? I myself don't walk around with a doom & gloom attitude. I'm pretty happy, friendly, nice, ambitious, but I'm just too tired to push foward, but in my mind I'm not sad. I think there is a BIG difference.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2002 Report Share Posted April 24, 2002 ~ My husband is also good about my illnesses. A month after we were married I started having problems with passing out (which was neurocardiogenic sycope). The neurologist thought nothing of it. Some neurolgist's are so unconcerned with real problems. It was my family doctor who listened to me. Why are people so quick to blame depression or they tell you that you need to just get it done or they just think your lazy or crazy? It's so fustrating!

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2002 Report Share Posted April 24, 2002 I know just what you mean. Had to leave work after three hours because I was just too tired. I laid down for eight hours until I simply got too stiff and achy to sit or lie in the same place. What does my friend say? Just get some more sleep. I feel like I sleep more than I am awake. Usually sleep has little or no effect on the physical fatigue. Not being able to open a box of cereal has nothing to do with how much sleep I got, I am just too physically fatigued....and yet everyone thinks sleep is the answer...

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2002 Report Share Posted April 25, 2002 is there a difference between clincally depressed and just depressed?? Yes. When you are depressed, it is usually from some event in you life. Like a death,etc. You get over the depression, usually with the help of medication, in a short time. You will not need to keep taking medication. A theory of clinical depression is that you are lacking something in your brain. Like a cell or something of that sort that other people have. I am sorry but fibro fog is bad tonight and I can't remember what is possibile missing. > > When you are clincally depressed, you have no reason to be depressed.

If you are clincally depressed, you will have to take medication for > the rest of your life.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2002 Report Share Posted April 25, 2002 That is exactly how I feel, everyone just think i need to just get my priorities straight. They don't understand that I do the best i can with the fatigue I have. My friends tell me I sleep too much, but no matter how much I sleep I am always tired.
