Re: To introduce myself - Fay's Response

[Guest guest]

Fay,

Just gotta jump in here. You mentioned that Dot may be depressed. I

have to respond because about 3 wks ago I went to the doc and told

him that I needed my blood labs done. Told him that I was very tired

and didn't feel like doing anything. Mentioned to him that it must

be either a vit & min problem, my thyroid was messed up (I have taken

meds for almost 30 yrs for hypothyroid), or I was depressed and my

current anti-depressant was not working properly.

So, off the the lab to have blood drawn. Labs come back and they

look great! No prob with my vits or mins...not the thyroid, so he

changed my anti-depressant. Guess what, I have lost 3 lbs in the

last 2 wks! I was stressing out during the day and going home and

self medicating myself with my old friend " FOOD " . The carbs called

me over and again! With the new meds, I have control again! I had

gained 10 lbs from my all time low (162); depressing enough without

the rest of lifes problems. So now I am looking at losing that other

7 again and I have hope that I can do it! I can go home and watch my

family eat cookies without giving in and eating one or two.

And to get to the point, you may be exactly right when you mention

the depression. And Dot...get yourself to a doc and check it out.

It really helped me.

Love,

Reba in Auburn, AL:)
