Guest guest Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Hi again! I'm so happy you have your mother to help you. Yes, soon after your removal...it's a very bad time. That first year was very very hard for me. Someone mentioned yeast. And yes, you can have any number of opportunistic infections right now. If I were you right now I would start slow and ramp up (increase the dose) of very bitter yeast- killing supplements. One of my favorite is grapefruit seed extract. Can you get that there? If not, I would be happy to send you some at no charge to you. It's a good thing to take every day because it creates and environment that the bad bacteria don't like but it keeps the good bacteria there where they are needed. I still take it daily even now that I'm much better. I really didn't start getting better until I started addressing the infection issue. I was so overrun with....sommmmmething...that the effects of that were harming me much more than the mercury, although yes, the mercury is the reason they were there. I took several weeks of antibiotics and it pulled me out of a 2 year nightmare. I don't recommend antibiotics to everyone but I tried the herbs and they weren't enough to kill it off to the extent I needed. I'd always relapse after. Selenium will make you feel terrible. If you're taking that, when things get bad, stop taking it for awhile. You're not alone!!!! There are thousands of people around the world who feel this alone and who are as frightened and frustrated as you are. I will say that there are lessons and gifts in this illness and I despaired a lot less when I started to understand that. I saw that it wasn't a pointless suffering and I wasn't just a victim, that this was part of my life plan. Things have come from being sick, I changed as a person, in a way I needed to change in order to do be the kind of person I wanted to be in this world. I really truly believe that people who get this sick are going through a personal transformation. And suffering is a wonderful teacher...I'm sure you are here to do good things for the world. " Even if for years out efforts seem to be producing no result, one day a light that is in exact proportion to them will flood the soul. " -- Dr. Weil He's right. You are not only not weak, not bad, not cruel...you, like all of us, deserve a standing ovation for your courage to keep fighting day after day. It is something as worthy of recognition as any olympic record. All who survive this deserve to have a gold medal laid around their necks, while the band plays and the stadium cheers. We won't get it but you can be sure others who have gone through this know what you have endured. Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Chan, I wish I knew the " best " things to tell you to help you with these difficult feelings. I agree with what others have posted about getting support. I hope this difficult time will be short, but the main thing is to address it as best you can, and get help from others as well. Other things you can consider: --supplements can have a lot of effect on moods. You need both to get enough vitamins and minerals, and to NOT use supplements that are disruptive and upsetting to you. This is not always easy to figure out, but it is important. --aerobic exercise can be VERY helpful for depression and suicidal feelings. It may take a week or two to help. It works VERY well for me, but I find it hard to do. good wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or has it stayed the > same or gotten worse? " When I went off to college I got depressed. My father and stepmother were giving me the cold shoulder, not talking to me, which was the last straw for me from unloving parents, I just broke up with my boyfriend who I loved, college was difficult for me and I missed my friends. I became suicidal. I told my roomate, 'wouldn't it be easier just to drift away' or something like that and she told the floor monitor or whatever they're called, and they called my parents. This was right before spring break and when I came home my parents said that they heard I was having trouble and they were going to take me to the doctor for some tests. I thought that meant they cared so I felt better. Then they dropped me off at a psych hospital (I was talking away to them in the car on the way there, not noticing, just thinking it was a regular hospital we pulled up to, also not noticing that they weren't saying anything). When I realized what they had done and I was locked in I went ballistic, screaming and crying. They shot me up with thorazine. They checked on me every 15 minutes, waking me up all night. Other than the food and a few people/therapists I hated it and made plans to escape. I was in there 3 weeks until my father's insurance ran out and he picked me up, saying that he didn't like the doctors. I have to admit it did shock me out of my suicide state which overall was worth it of course, though the breaking of trust that occurred for my parents as a result of what they did and how they did it (instead of caring enough to talk to me) was permanent. I moved out a few months later and did much better emotionally away from them, though I had problems being on my own. Nothing ever was so bad again and I think it was in part due to the fact that I wouldn't let myself get that depressed again. I had a lot of bad times since then but things are good now.

" The thought of what one's suicide would do to the survivors often stops people from doing it, though being unhappy enough to want to commit suicide means one is so so unhappy that they just want out, they can't bear it anymore. But the mental anguish for the survivors-it wasn't an accident, but a purposeful act and that can really mess up the family members, between wondering if they were partially at fault to taking such a bitter abnormal act as a cruel selfish act against them. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Wow. How sad. I agree that she probably had more problems than just AS. Most AS people have at least one co-morbid disorder (even if it is not diagnosed). My prayers go out to her family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 When reading of co-morbids, I think this is interesting. If a person has BiPolar Affective Disorder and AD/HD, that person will also have Asperger's. If you make a list of the symptoms of each disorder, that list will share enough of the symptoms of Asperger's that they will meet the criteria of the list of Asperger's. There will also be a sufficient number of symptoms to meet the qualifications criteria for Asperger's. I was dx'd with B.A.D. in '87, and adult ADD in '95. I have wondered about Asperger's since I learned about it 2 years ago. I fit the descriptions very well. I became curious and began looking into the dx criteria for each of them. The first thing I found is that a person can have B.A.D. and Asperger's or ADD and Asperger's, but Asperger's alone will not meet the criteria for either of the other 2, but having B.A.D. and ADD will result in having all 3.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 i really don't know how. > I know eventually I will probably take my own life. I know that this is an old post, but , I so hope you don't do that. I very much understand the feelings, but please think about what it will do to the people around you, especially if you have children. I have been tempted on occasion but know that it would probably literally kill my son and so I know as long as my kids and husband are alive I can't do that. I still mourn the suicide of a boyfriend 20 years ago. On the other hand, it is your life and it sounds like you are very much in pain. I, too, wonder how I will live with this for the next 40 years. I really don't want to. So, I know I keep jumping back and forth here, but I really hope that you can stay strong and alive, especially if you have children or loved ones... Sending love and healing thoughts your way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
