[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 212063, member: 1631"] First off, thank you all for your input. I haven't called my dr. yet but will probably do so on Monday when the nurse I feel more comfortable with is working. Fran- Very true and good advice! Jennifer-Good points-I do actually try to do a lot to take care of me. I get alone time, I exercise regularly and try to eat healthy. All of that usually works for me-lately not so much. Ml-I think it may be time for me to give it a try. Momto3-Interesting thought about the thryoid. I do have hypothyroid but maybe my medications are goofed up right now. My sister had hypo and it's very rare but hers is correcting itself and going towards hyper-don't know if that could happen to me or not. Rm1976-I've always thought too and believe the exercise has helped me cope with a lot but for now it just isn't doing enough. Witz-Thanks for the good advice! Jo-I'm 45 but went through a very early menopause (age 20 or 21). I still take hrt so don't know if I could be going through some of the psychological effects of peri? I agree about the eating healthy and exercising. Other than the two weeks off for my back I do exercise regularly (4-5 times a week-although a few times this Fall it's only been about 3 times). I try to eat healthy but it's a struggle for me. I do work for ww and am at my goal weight but I know I could cut out more. Sleep is something that does get disrupted at times-so that could be something. Abbey-I've been sort of a medaphobic too for myself except for the stuff I have to have for my Addison's, Hypothyroidism, and Ovarian Failure-can't live with-o them! Other than that I have tried to take care of myself without other medications. Fairlyoddparent-Your right about the brain chemistry thing. My therapist thinks I just might need to use something to get me through for awhile until things hopefully are a bit less stressful. She thinks I have been under an even more extreme amt of stress lately than usual. Thanks also for the tips about the Paxil. WFEN--Thanks for the encouragement. It was hard for me to post about this. I appreciate the support! Klmno-Thanks for the support! Gvcmom-I think you are hitting the nail on the head about the chronic stress. I think it may be wreaking havoc with my system. That and now that I'm thinking of it many people with Addison's Disease don't deal well with stress because of the lack of cortisol in our bodies-maybe it is catching up with me. Crazymama-I'm glad the herbal route is helping! I never know with all the medications I take for my gland failures would be effected by the herbs-probably not-maybe something to check into. Tammy-Thanks for sharing your story. I know it's probably time, the heart paliptations are scary to me as is the strange feeling in my ear. Again, thank you all and I hope I didn't miss anyone!
