anxiety

i have been struggling through anxiety as a result of my illness. i am not sure if it is an actual symptom of the ms, my neurologist says not, or it is due to the problems with having to deal with the disease. i have a friend having much more problems with the disease than i am having who also has a lot of anxiety and they say it IS the disease. i have been finding a lot of research backing up that the disease itself can cause anxiety and depression.

i have been trying to fight thru the brane pain with god's help, rather than using anti depression meds.

I went through it last year, and can relapse if I let it. I had enough of pain and emotional issues. But I'm feeling a bit better emotionally now. The pain is still there but something positive has happened.

I just have to be a bit careful still as I feel emotionally 'delicate'. But praise God I'm better than I was. Hang in there bro. You still on my daily prayer list, so's restless and a few others. God bless.

Judgement Day will be interesting.

Oh, and I went off the meds also in the end, even though I was diagnosed with Anxiety and Major Depression, they were almost worse than the problem. I tried 4 kinds of anti depressants. The side effects were terrble, plus I was a bit of a zombie in the head. Couldnt function properly and my motivation was down so much anyway that the meds stopped me doing anything constructive.

The Pshycs and docs were all against me going off them. But I'm only on pain killers occassionally now, they vedge me out also, but I'm not like that all the time. Hang in there

Judgement Day will be interesting.

thanks for your support all y'all.

i have been on cymbalta for pain for 3 years, but it also an anti-depressant. last winter was the worst anxiety, and also the onset of a major MS attack. they doubled the dose of cymbalta but then my shrink lost his license and i could not get more meds.

i had to winnow off the double dose myself successfully. i am getting the 1/2 dose now from my MD again and i am fine with gods help. i don't want to take the double dose if i can help it. it made me feel brain dead and worse. god is getting me through and i like that better
