      Thanks for the support. I was thinking of OA and actually researched a couple of places in my area. I will tell you how it goes. I hope it's encouraging and doesn't bug me out. I'll try anything to get me out of this existential vaccum. =)

      I took meridia for almost a year and lost over 60 pounds..unfortunately i've gained it all back and am no longer taking it.

      I found my experience with a chiropractor to be a nightmare. His adjustments made things much worse. Wouldn't go back.
      Epidural Injection Working / Worked
      I have had two in the last four months. The first one lasted four months and the pain started coming back...
      Physical Therapy Working / Worked
      I found the electrical stimulation and stretching very helpful.
      Cyclobenzaprine Working / Worked
      Flexeril is good ..but learned not to take it during the day..it was putting me to sleep.
      Celebrex Working / Worked
      I found it to be useful but my doc recommended naproxin instead

    • Open Anxiety

      I'm 35 and have had issues with anxiety for a couple of years. Last year I took a few months off from work..thought I was having a heartattack...turned out to be major anxiety. Started taking medication about a month ago.

      Treatments

      Acupuncture Working / Worked
      Acupuncture was very relaxing...but very costly
      Breathwork Working / Worked
      Whenever I start to have major chest pains/anxiety..I try to breathe through them. Works a lot of times.
      Lexapro Not Working
      Prozac Working / Worked
      Have been taking for 1 1/2 months...honestly not sure if it is working yet..sometimes I think it is...and sometimes I feel like it is doing nothing at all.
