Guest guest Posted August 24, 1999 Report Share Posted August 24, 1999 Dear Lori: You are not alone in dream 'la la' land. I also have an extremely vivid dream life. They were even more vivid when my enzymes were high. Of course, I think that it had more to do with being scared about the outcome rather than the enzymes themselves. I find that when I'm especially stressed that they get more vivid. Your body might really be trying to tell you something, though. You know, I'm wondering if you have been checked recently for Hep C. Didn't you say once that you had been diagnosed with 'NonA-NonB' hepatitis at one time. Hep C used to be called that. If that is the case, it would make more sense for your symptoms to be cyclical like they are. Also, if you are taking an antidepressant medication, it could be that it is adversely affecting your liver. I was surprised to read that so many people in the group have been prescribed these drugs when it clearly states in the RX info that caution should be used when prescribing them to people with compromised livers. It's worth looking into for you and for all of those in the group who take Zoloft or Paxil. I'm not sure about Prozac because I was unable to access they're RX info. Hope this is helpful.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 1999 Report Share Posted August 24, 1999 My friends could tell you endless stories of my active dreamlife. I have the most bizarre (Freudian, I'm told!) active dreams of anybody I know. I had a dream last night that I had a child with liver disease. The disease presented itself just like mine, etc. The child was in a lot of pain and crying. Well, I woke up this morning and I " ve had quite a bit of urq pain along with nausea all day. It didn't take much for me to figure out that the child was me. Then I started thinking back about something I noticed... I always have dreams about my illness when it starts up again. Most of the time, it's in the first person. In fact, the dreams usually present themselves a week or so before I start feeling symptoms. I think that is rather strange. A question I have for the group... (remember, I'm not yet diagnosed). Do you find your disease to have cycles? For instance, I'm tired ALL the time and have urq 'most' of the time- that's just a given. But the other symptoms (nausea, wierd colored 'potty', complete exhaustion) come and go.. lasting 2-3 weeks at a time. Also, I have a major problem with cold sores. I get them in strange places- on my arms, in my ears, in my nose, and of course on my mouth. Right now I have a bunch between my chin and lower lip. I get them at least 1x a month and even zovirax (that's herpes meds) doesn't do a thing for it. Does anyone else have a problem with cold sores? LoriRosenberg@...

Guest guest Posted August 25, 1999 Report Share Posted August 25, 1999 Yes, very close. They are both SSRI and basically do the same thing Elena --- Lynn <CEN32195@...> wrote: > From: Lynn <CEN32195@...> > > Isn't Paxil a close relative to Prozac?

Guest guest Posted August 25, 1999 Report Share Posted August 25, 1999 Lori, my facial attack started out with a cold sore but seems to have gone wild. Between lip and chin is the worst. I don't know if it's cold sores anymore. And dermatologists seem to be clueless about all my sores, itching and rashes. I won't go to another. My active dreamlife is different - it is sensual because I miss having a relationship and a sensual life. Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
