Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Leahlingling (what's your name, I seem to have missed it), I just wanted to introduce myseld since you are located in California. I'm Kimber and I'm the California State Representative for the group, so if you need anything, check with me and I'll do what I can to help. Sorry this is so delayed but I'd been offline for about two weeks due to holidays and then not feeling well and so I've been trying to catch up with my emails since. If you want, I'll privately email you my phone numbers so you can contact me by phone if you ever need or want to. Let me know where you are located and I'll see if I have any doctor recommendations on file for that location since I've been collecting a list from other members who have been nice enough to recommend their doctors to others looking in their area. You may have to give me more than just your city name as my geography is absolutely horrible. I'm located in Vallejo, which is in the Northern San Francisco Bay Area. Yes, birth control can be bad for CP, but if you are on a low dosage, it can be doable. I was fine on a monthly dosage when I was on birth control, but I noticed I that if I had an attack which hospitalized me, I had to go off it and then restart it once I was released from the hospital. However, this was in my earlier stages of the disease and since I don't date these days, I discontinued the birth control. I'd recommend finding a Gastroenterologist asap. For my depression, I occasionally see a psychologist and am on amitryptiline (for multiple reasons), which is works as an antidepressant, among other things. Also, this group has been invaluable in helping me through those dark times, which do still occasionally occur, which is only natural with severe medical problems.
