> Hi, I can’t help you much on the drug side, I fully support and cross my fingers that you will find the right mix. I am also trying to activate my brain. But with your medical condition--and I wont get too into it because I know there are separate sites to seek this out--have you explored whether you have any vitamin/mineral/other deficiencies that influence the picture? I am taking a myriad of medications so Im all for meds, they have saved my life..... but I also was helped to some extent with medical conditions in taking large doses of vitamin B12 and some others for some of my cognitive/neurological symptoms. I had a disconnect between myself and the world due to a disconnect in my brain between sensory input and cognition due to B12 deficiency. I would lose half of conversations because everything went black on me. Alcohol and bad diet exascerbated this underlying condition. Just a side thought. Talk to the docs, listen to the wise posters on this board for med advice.
> Hang in there dont give up, the answer is out there. Get help if things get that bad for you again.Hi,
Thanks for the response.
I don't have all the answers. There is so much to know. And different opinions as to what works or even what to try.
I essentially got rid of all the debilitating pain and other symptoms of I.C. with diet and supplement regimen that I followed to the tee for over 8 months. I generally stay completely away from alchol and eat okay. But recently I have been so down I just do not care so much.That was as long as the supplement regimen was supposed to last. I still follow most of the diet although I am less restrictive because not everything bothers everyone and after a complete elimination diet for 6 to 8 months I am trying out one thing at a time to see what I might be able to eat. As far as many vitamins and supplements go I cannot take a lot of them. For instance none of the vitamin B's. There are several I have tried fro depression that I cannot take because of my bladder to include medications. Have you heard of Dr Hedeya I have his book sighted onhttp://www.wholepsych.com/HedayaBio.html.
I am curious what others think?
My doctor will not proceed unless I show him some research. I just do not have the cognitive skills to research it all to do a few tests.Anyway thanks. Glad to hear you are doing well.
