Guest guest Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Check out your testosterone levels. Men get low too. Try St. 's wart or SAM-E. Make sure you drink green tea and take fish oil. Green tea and fish oil help with your mood.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 I saw DLPA mentioned before, but don't know what it is....assume it is a natural supplement to elevate mood?? Could you tell me what it is and if many have been helped. I intend to start LDN this month. I just found out about it a few weeks ago. This has been my worst year since I was diagnosed in 1990. The MS never got me down for long... til now. That is why I have decided to try LDN. Maybe I could use the DLPA too??? Also, I saw bits and pieces of some emails that talked about the " soap thing " ....putting liquid soap on legs and bars of soap in bed???....sounded like it was for spasms or pain??? Could someone repeat the whole theory?? thanks, nancy > > Hello Andy, > > I am exactly the same way that you are describing. Up one minute, down the next. Its driving me crazy and my boyfriend too! I have tried all of the anti depressant meds and none seem to help. I am taking DLPA (must get Solaray brand) only one a day. I can tell a difference with it, but I think that it truly is also just the nature of the disease. It is depressing. It is hard to want to do things so bad, and you can't do them. I am tired of it. I have had MS for 15 years, and you think I'd be used to it, but it doesn't get easier. I would love to have a child, I really would but I'm afraid of bringing someone else into a messy situation. I tried DLPA in desperation and it did help, I feel much better. But I also think that my diet has alot to do with it. I am going to go to a nutritionist. I just have to find a good one. > > I am there with you, > > [low dose naltrexone] emotional > > > hi just thought id ask if anybody is having same problems as me and if you are what your doing about it,you see its like this i cant control my emotions, one minute im happy next im sad then im angry and so on its realy getting to me ive had ms for 20 years now and been on ldn for 6 but dont take anything else but ive got to do something because i cant keep bursting into tears at the drop of a hat, any ideas? > andy in uk > > ----------------------------------------- > Email sent from www.ntlworld.com > Virus-checked using McAfee® Software > Visit www.ntlworld.com/security for more information > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get it at healthfood stores or order from the internet, no Drs. script needed. Dr. Bihari says this will keep your endorphins up throughout the day. CAUTION: This product NOT intended for use by people with PKU (Phenylketonuria), or pregnant or lactating women. If you have high blood pressure or pre-existing pigmented malignant melanoma, use only under the guidance of a physician. Do NOT take with MAO inhibitor antidepressant drugs.

Here are two great explanations. DL-Phenylalanine http://www.internalhealth.com/dl_phenylalanine.htm DL-Phenylalanine http://www.vrmed.com/dl-phenylalanine.htm Sleeping with a bar of soap is supposed to help with body aches and pains, and it can't be one of those skin moisturizing soaps like Dove or Dial. Just good old fashioned scrubbing soaps like Ivory. Why it works, if indeed it does, I don't know. Artie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Dear Deanna, I wish I could reach through the computer right now and just hug you for a long time and cry on your shoulder and you on mine. I am feeling the exact same way right at this moment and had just moments before checking my email, wondered if there was ANYONE out there who would understand and just listen to me for a moment. As soon as I read this, I began to cry as I had been on the verge of it ever since I WOKE UP TODAY.. Thanks so much for being there and writing this today. God love you Deanna,,,, its again, and as soon as I stop crying, I will write more to you.... sincerely, in Ga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Deanna - yes, I had that problem for the first year or so until we got the PA under control with DMARDs. It still happens now whenever I flare. It can be so bad that I won't answer the phone, because I know the first thing the caller will say is " How are you? " and that question is enough to trigger a crying jag. I went from a person who could calmly field computer questions on the radio and regularly spoke before crowds numbering in the hundreds to a blubbering idiot. Yes, I think it's the result of chronic pain. The only solution is to get the disease under control. best regards, sherry z > > Does anyone else have trouble controlling their emotions?

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Hi Sherry, from Ga again. I sure do appreciate you! I told you that last week, but repeating it today. Blessings to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Hi, Been there -- done that. I believe for me its fibromyalgia. I describe fibro as permenant PMS. Hots, cold, sad, happy, crying or laughing. I really felt like a mess when all this first started. Since I figured out its the fibro and not really me that is making all of these emotions come out, I can control it a bit. I haven't tried much but I know vitamin B 12 and evening primrose oil can help with moods. When I get upset about something I try to change the subject somehow. Just wanted to let you know you're not alone. Good luck and happy new year. SD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Sherry is right that pain can cause your emotions to go haywire. Living with chronic pain affects all points of your life and it's important to get things under control. When I first showed signs of PA I was in a lot of pain and it took almost 6 months to get a diagnosis. In that time period I went from someone who worked 10 to 12 hours a day to barely being able to even drive to work for 3 days a week and work for only 5 hours. I had trouble concentrating on work and had absolutely NO tolerance for anyone I worked with. Luckily the girl I worked closely with knew what was going on and didn't take offense when I snapped at her. I finally had to stop working between the pain and having to do dialysis on top of it all I just couldn't function any more and be of any use. I still have bad days but they are no where near as rotten as they were before I got a rheumatologist who knew how to treat this.
