Hi there,
A friend of mine pointed me in the direction of this forum this afternoon. You have been of help to her, and she hopes I'll find the forum helpful too.
I have M.E., Fibro, I'm hypermobile, have hypothyroidism (recently suffered from extreme thyroid poisonoing), I have various other niggling things, but it's due to anxiety that she's sent me here.
I've had M.E. since 2002. I developed Fibro last year. I imagine I've been hypermobile and had hypothyroidism all my life, but the latter wasn't diagnosed until 2006, and the prior was only diagnosed last year. Most of my life I suffered with depression, though it had pretty much gone away by 2009.
I've had anxiety in the background for most of my life too, very gradually getting worse. Whilst on anti depressants I suppose I didn't really notice it. The last year it's just been getting worse and worse. I had a really really bad experience at the end of last year / beginning of this year, which has caused me to be permanently on edge. It is also for this reason that I would prefer to remain anonymous on the forum, I hope that is ok.
My GP has just put me on Lustral (Sertraline) for the anxiety, but it has in turn caused me to be depressed. I have been on suicide watch for much of this year, but the last few days have just been so ... I don't know the word ... close?
Anyway. Other medications; Tramadol, Gabapentin, Amytriptiline, Mefanamic Acid, Omeprazole, Levothyroxine, Liothyronine, I think that's all.
So, hello everyone.
Me.
