      From ElaineBwn Today

      Thanks for the help. I'm having a flare right now and am having trouble getting it under control. One thing that is causing me a lot of pain is trapped gas. I'm getting a lot of gas out, but my body just seems to produce more. Any suggestions? I'm taking librax, but it doesn't seem to be helping like it usually does, Elaine

    • Close Anxiety

      i have had anxiety sevrely for about 3 years now although always been nervous and alot of it stems from childhood issues that havent been resolved!!

      Treatments

      Breathing Exercises Somewhat Helpful
      sometimes i can make it ease things others i cant get on top of it with breathing
      Hypnotherapy Not Working
      this for me was awful as i didnt like the feeling of not being in control so i then panicked !!
      Meditation Working / Worked
      when i did this everynight it was good to get me to sleep - i relaxed with a relaxation cd and a book !
      Positive Thinking Too Soon to Tell
      I am trying my best with this - and it is slowely working but i have jsut had a set back so im trying to get myself back on track with this !!
      Remeron Not Working
      i am off these now - i think it did help to a degree but i didnt feel right on them howver some of this was the fact they were anti depressants and not the right tabs for anxiety maybe ?not sure what it was so i came off them after two attempts.Side effects were fairly minimal however i put on 4 stone
      Valium Not Working
      i didnt like this as it made me very sickly the next day and for half hour of relaxed effects it wasnt worth it
      Celexa Too Soon to Tell
      will be starting these in the next week hopefully will be starting on 10mg as i have a fear of side effects and health issues.

      brilliant if i use it as a pain killer as appose to three times a day
