Prayer
I will be praying for you. Have you tried adding extra fiber to your diet? Also, they say a bowl of oatmeal a day can help lower it. God bless, Rosey

Hug
Actually I haven't taken the lithium since March. The doc took me off, it was hurting my thyroid too much. I am just on prozac and seroquel now. Thanks for the hug! Oh, I live with my hubby, my son and his son. TC! Rosey

Support Groups
Close Bipolar Disorder
I was diagnosed back in the 80's with bipolar. I have been having a very difficult time at finding a medication that helps without all the bad side effects. I am currently on seroquel and looking for another option. I mostly have trouble with sleep. A few doctors do not think I am bipolar but I have had bipolar symptoms. I am beginning to wonder if it is true bipolar or maybe just stress,anxiety,and depression. It is all related to situational..
Treatments
- Ativan Working / Worked
- It does help me alot due to I suffer anxiety and stress. I don't take too many a day. Maybe one or two 1mgs. tablets. It helped me to get off the seroquel finally! Ahhh!
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- Is doing okay to control mood but sleep don't come easy for me. It is 4am and I had to get up out of bed. I hadn't been to sleep yet. I was trying. There has got to be an underlying problem here and I hope it isn't diabetes creeping up. I am having burning in both arms and pain. Also, some bumps on my face which are itchy. Often I get a rash in my scalp too. The weightgain is excessive and the hunger is not too good.
Close Stress Management
I was diagnosed with bipolar back some years ago but I suffer alot of stress due to the fact that I just don't think this is bipolar. I can't seem to sleep. I have a very difficult time trying to go to sleep with medications even and would like to learn a better way to handle my stress. Thank-you!
Treatments
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- Walking helps me with my depression and even with my coping on weight issues it makes me feel stronger even when overweight. I have a knee problem right now and need to go to an orthopedic but I am still walking carefully until then.
- Seroquel Considering
- I was on seroquel the other day but went to the doctor and am trying to get off of it due to the food cravings. It sure does help sleep though better than any other meds I ever tried. I have a difficult time sleeping and even with AmbienCR I still don't sleep.
Open Eating Disorders
I am currently trying to get off of seroquel due to the eating problem it gives me. I am trying a new medicine right now but no luck in it helping me sleep. I don't want to have to end up back on seroquel and so I know that it is about the only medication that helps me so that is why I am going to join this support group.
Treatments
- Group Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- I go on Thursdays and I see that others are overweight but they never discuss the issues of it bothering them.
- Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
- I have a sister who is trying to lose weight. She is only 2 years older than I and sometimes is very good support. We go walking together when we can.
Open Obesity
I wouldn't say I was two-ton Annie but I am overweight by about 35-40lbs. I take seroquel to help with sleep and just wondered if anyone was battling the seroquel hunger pains?
Open Chronic Pain
I have gained weight at 5'4 and 180. I have been experiencing alot of pain here with arthritis with the weight putting pressure on my joints. Is anyone having this? Also, I suffer fibromayalgai,degenerative arthritis,and discs problems.
Treatments
- Zanaflex Somewhat Helpful
- Once in a while I will take 2mgs.of this. It eases the pain somewhat.
Open Fibromyalgia
I had went to the emergency room and was diagnosed with fibromayalgia two times. Can this be a correct diagnosis by the ER only? I suffer the pain and stiffness of fibro.
Treatments
Open Arthritis
I have been having alot of knee pain lately and I had an x-ray that showed degenrative arthritis and osteopyhtes. Now what to do? Also have degenerative arthritis in my whole body more on the left.
Treatments
Open High Cholesterol
I have had high cholesterol for quite some years. I have been walking to try and help this and never wanted to have to get on a statin drug due to fibromaylagia pain and I suffer varicosity bad in one leg.
Open Healthy Sex
I am sort of in love with a man that really doesn't love me but is a friend more of. We do have occasional times together but rarely. I wondered if this could be bad for my heart since he is no in love with me? It this healthy sex I often wonder. I guess we just have to be in the right frame of mind and be set to think positive.
Open Gastritis
I had a colonoscopy back in 2004 which said I had gastritis. I have been having a heck of a time with my stomach so I am going to have another colonoscopy in July.
Open Menopause
I am 52 years of age and had a partial hysterectomy back in 92. I have been having alot of hairthinning lately in the last 2 years since I lost my mother.
Open Androgenic Alopecia
I have a feeling I am going to go bald on top of my head. I can see my scalp. Don't know if it is due to hormones or hairproducts like hair dyes,etc. It is breaking off constantly and alot lately. Last haircolor was June 24. I plan not to put another haircolor and to find a wig. I go to GYN the end of this month July. I have cysts on my ovaries so I hope he romoves them. I am in menapause. My thyroid has been checked and is okay.
