Miro and Blinky, post if you want - miss you guys!

Sorry guys

As most of you know I was 'busy' over the weekend. I did poke my head in briefly on Sunday afternoon when I was at home in the old thread but it had been closed by then. I was physically ill from Sunday evening and I wasn't at home so didn't have internet access. Didn't mean to make you worry.

I have read all the posts but cannot reply to all....

Oh, just to update, I phoned the physcotherapy team, and I should get an assesment appointment letter through the post in about 3 weeks. Only been on the waiting list since september

:j Excellent news, hope it goes well and any resulting treatment isn't too far away. (18 month minimum waiting list up here for an assessment :eek: ).

hi folks not been around these parts for ages
so i better post an update (huge cry for help if im honest)
ok
done the cbt whole course and i feel it did nothing for me,

day hospital want me to go to group therapy now which i will try probably tomorrow or sometime this week,

consultant wants to change my meds again and told me to wean myself of the 60mg of paroxitine i was on daily which i was doing until..... and here comes to bad bit...........

my gp called me in to discuss the consultants referral letter back to her after i met him in december.............

says "mrs a is suffering from unipolar depression, feels she has no good thoughts or feelings or cant remember a time when she felt good about anything or looked forward to anything, mrs a manages to cook a meal for her family on average once a fornight, mrs a feels afraid to meet new people or go to new places unaccompained by her husband etc etc etc, i am recommending that mrs a be prescribed venlafaxine again up to the maximum dose as soon as possible and if this has no effect on mrs a then i would suggest prescribing combination drug therapy for mrs a, namely max dose of venlafaxine and LITHIUM.........."


oh my goodness i am so shocked by that i mean lithium thats heavy duty stuff.
i had planned to return to work (after having been off the past 3 months or so with depression) but my gp says no way and if i have to go on the lithium i might not get back at all.........

however, i am now slowly getting over the shock of that and i have now accepted my depression for how bad it really is and i have also taken off the happy go lucky mask that i have been wearing for years.

so guys any ideas.
i am expecting to be put of half pay come the 25th of this months if i am luck this will last for the next 3 months.

my gp is not that hopeful that the venlaflax will work as i have been on it before so it looks like i am going to have to give the lithium a go.

yours
mrs a

Hi there Mrs A. :hello:

Lithium has traditionally been used for manic depression as it acts as a mood stabiliser. However, it can sometimes be used for clinical depression in combination with other drugs. One of the disadvantages of lithium is that the dosage and blood levels need to be carefully monitored - this means regular blood tests.

My consultant had tried to get me to take venlafaxine + Lithium but I went on Venlafaxine + Zispin instead. From what you have written from your notes I am wondering if you have a similar problem to me which is dysmythia (spelling?) in addition to clinical depression. This is a persistant underlying low level depression - best way I can describe it is even when you are not depressed you only score 6-7 / 10 on a happiness scale.

Hope your new treatment works out for you.

I know its sad a 31yr old mum of 3 needing her mum to go to the dentists with her but hey that was me!!:o

No, it's not sad, I know lots of people who can't go to the dentist. You have been very brave.:T

Ethel - Glad you found out what problem with arm was and DD is sorted out. I think you should really kick OH out this time otherwise you will just end up in the same cycle with him. Thinking of you and DD.

Gilly - Sorry to hear about family problems. Thinking of you.

Tiff - Sorry to hear about mother. Thinking of you.

FeelingGood, McClaren, Sazbo, Rose - Thinking of you

Miro - very worried about you. Please post or PM me.

Will be with 'R' on Wednesday night and we are away this weekend ,so I'm not sure how much I'll be around till next week. Will pop in when I can. Back at work in the morning which I know will be busy

HUGE HUGS TO EVERYONE WHO NEEDS THEM


:rotfl:


PS. Being in love is a good tonic for depression.....

Morning ethel hun!:hello:
How are you angel? Thank you for your kind wishes hun. I'm sorry you're in such pain. I've got bad carpal tunnel syndrome in both arms and will be having surgery on one hand done around early April. I don't know if you have the same thing as I do. It's a fairly small op - local anaesthetic I think. Annoying because they can only do one arm at a time!:rolleyes:

Glad to hear your news on DD hun.:T Make sure you keep on their tails.;)

As far as OH, give him the fares to his parents' home and then he's their problem. He keeps having this problem doesn't he hun? I know it must be hard angel, but he brings you more heartache than happiness from the sound of things - let him stay gone this time if you can ethel. If his excuse is that he doesn't have this or that & that's why he can't go, harden your warm heart ethel and tell him that that is a personal problem for him! Time to get the bin bags out hun!:D If he needs money, tell him to get an advance from his boss or from friends - better still, just give him fares to get home and nothing more. You have no obligations to him angel. Steel yourself and get rid of this weight problem!

Good luck with uni ethel. How are the essays coming on?;) Like you have time right now, bless you. Thinking of you angel and hoping today will be kind to you.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx
