Guest guest Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 Jeannie, It took me nearly 20 years to get diagnosed with Lyme and during that time I suffered from suicidal (at times) depression. I took everySSRI in the book and then some. On another list I read of the New Zealander, Dr. Les Simpson's work with Red Blood Cells and their shape and flow through the capillaries. At that time he was recommending Efamol Brand Evening Primrose Oil caps, which I order from NEEDS. I have NO financial interest. I am 60, and for my age, he recommended 4500mg/day. I started taking them and some Omega 3 fish oil and within 3 weeks my depression lifted and I was my old cheerful sunny self again. I was astounded. i wrote Dr. Simpson and he said that he thinks depression is caused by lack of blood flow to the frontal lobes, and that the EPO makes the RBC's " more round " and easier to get into capillaries. I also grow hair under my arms and on my toes, which I hadn't in years. At any rate, it's been a year, and I'm no longer depressed. Sad occasionally, but never that horrible depression. Dr. Simpson is now saying that Salmon Oil caps (No financial interest) will also work. Hope this helps. Beck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
