Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 You know! Are all conventional dentists still using mercury, and who has to pay to have this toxic metal that they put in replaced? I find this very appalling. I, too, may be suffering from symptoms that may be caused by my mercury fillings. It sucks that no matter where you turn, you get poisoned. We get treated like rats on this planet.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Many cases of depression with symptoms of brain fog are relevant to toxin load. This toxin load might include metals as points out but it's more likely and much more common to be the huge load created 24/7 by an incorrect bowel ecology; correcting it is much cheaper and faster than metal detox too. Also the toxic metabolites of a drug program contribute hugely to overall discomfort. Sound familiar?

The problem is you can find traces of heavy metals in just about everybody. I haven't found this to be at the root of most people's depression.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 , I'm going to do my best to answer this post. I'm currently on SSDI but, mind you it was due to having Asperger Syndrome,Diabetes,Dysthymia & other non-mentionable cognitive deficits.Anyways, my case had sat in the system for 3yrs before I had my Disability hearing... Anyways, I feel that one's depression would have to be severe enough to limit their everday functioning for a un-defined period of time wherein personal,social, work-related activities suffered to a great extent. Since, I'm not SSDI attorney, I would not be able to give you the best counsel yet, I do hope my post has somewhat helped you though.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Hi , Being in pain most of the time. Though I think my depression kicked in when I was a teenager and living with two alcoholic parents that always thought I couldn't do anything right. I get sick of being sick and end up crying because I can't control that part of my life. I get frustrated that I wake up with head aches and migraines and then can't work. Can't work on this computer without being medicated, my muscles freeze up. My husband also says that my sleeping too much annoys him but he also knows that when I am in pain that that is what I need to do for myself to feel better. It isn't the same as my annoyance of him drinking too much type thing. Granada Buergerhoff wrote: I am on SSD for another reason why are you depressed first of all.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Except for a few diagnosis that are automatic, it depends to some extent on the caseload of the judges in your state and if you have a lawyer pushing things along. I did not use a lawyer until my 2nd (and last) appeal. There was a huge backlog of cases in Floridaa when I was in the system. (they finally brought in judges from California to help them catch up) It took me 4 years to get approved on what the judge said should have been automatic.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Notan: I think your research on the topic of neurotransmitters and depression in relation to esophageal problems has helped me immensely!!! I was just diagnosed with PMDD -- a depression caused by my brain sending inaccurate signals in my ovaries to produce a HUGE imbalance of hormones. A blood test showed the results. Serotonin is the culprit from what I understand. I've also been experiencing more problems with my esophagus... hiccups, food getting stuck, etc. I am going to take this new info to my doctor in 2 weeks and see if this all might be related. In fact, where can I find more info??? Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!! It's a blessing!!!

There are other neurotransmitters that are probably more important in esophageal motility disorders, but having neurotransmitters, like serotonin at odd levels is not going to help, and could play a part and make the difference between a worse day and a better day.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Hang in there Faith. I know it's tough and frustrating and confusing...but the answers will come eventually. My labs were coming back normal last Dec almost thru February...but I was still feeling bad. My RD said he wasn't treating the labs...he was treating the patient. I sure hope you can find another RD. I'm glad you talked to your GP about the anti-depressants. They can really help. They've saved my life before. Just please hang in there and know we're here for you. I " ll be anxious to hear what you learn from your nurse's husband. She sounds like an angel. Depression Hey Guys, I haven't written very much in the last several days , haven't been very interested in life lately. Things are on the up and up though, I hope. I went to my GP's office today to see the nurse practitioner, who I think is great, about some anti-depressants. Come to find out her hubby has Still's, I never knew. It's a small world. She said that they went through all of the testing, almost all were negative, and through all of the meds, MTX, etc. Eventually they sought a Homeopathic doc and her hubby now controls it with Bee Venum, and other natural remedies and his diet. She gave me his number and said to call him and talk about Still's. I just get farther in a black hole the longer it takes for a dx but this shed some light. She also told me to quit worrying about the testing because they weren't really worth their weight, it was, like everyone says, a process of elimination. I really needed this today because I had some major bad thoughts this weekend. Faith-MO --------------------------------- Building a website is a piece of cake. Yahoo!

And depression goes along, from time to time, with chronic illnesses. I take an antidepressant and have done for years. My brother in law calls them " head pills " , lol...but I know I couldn't get along without them. Know I am thinking of you.

I went to my GP's office today to see the nurse practitioner, who I think is great, about some anti-depressants. Come to find out her hubby has Still's, I never knew. It's a small world. She said that they went through all of the testing, almost all were negative, and through all of the meds, MTX, etc. Eventually they sought a Homeopathic doc and her hubby now controls it with Bee Venum, and other natural remedies and his diet. She gave me his number and said to call him and talk about Still's. I just get farther in a black hole the longer it takes for a dx but this shed some light. She also told me to quit worrying about the testing because they weren't really worth their weight, it was, like everyone says, a process of elimination. I really needed this today because I had some major bad thoughts this weekend. Faith-MO --------------------------------- Building a website is a piece of cake. Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Hi Faith The last time we talked, you were considering contacting a different RD in Springfield. I went ahead and contacted him to give him a heads up about you. Did you ever contact them? Hang in there, sweetie. It is a long process sometimes, and depression goes along with it. The antidepressant prescribed for me is for the fibro, but it just helps everything. I was lucky in that the first one they tried worked and we just had to increase the doseage once. Just know that another Missouri girl is thinkin' about you!
