If you haven't already, QUIT USING THAT CREAM! I tried some bioidentical hormones and freaked right out! It was the progesterone, I'm sure. I've read on the web about people who were plunged into severe depression by hormone injections. There's even someone on this site who talks about ithttp://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20041108/msgs/414029.html

That different from me. It's the same every day. Anxious in the morning, better in the afternoon and pretty good at night. Some nights, I feel actually normal.
> I don't know what's related to what. If I am bipolar, I suspect that it's still much more than that. I don't think bipolar can give you fevers, weight loss, high white counts, rashes, etc..

> No seriously, I am just trying to work on this daily with the Lord and lots of prayer. I wish I could see a psychiatrist but our insurance only covers half and I'd have to drive over 35 miles to get one! It's ridiculous around here.I drive 85 miles one way to my pdoc. There are others closer (40 miles) but mine is so special it's worth the trip. I really think your medical issues are causing a lot of your stuff, though, so I'd work on that first. I know fibromyalgia can contribute to depression and mood problems.

Cymbalta is supposed to be good for fibro but it didn't help me much with my depression.>

> Thank you for listening and sharing! It's already made me feel better. You sure have a lot on your plate as well. I'll make sure to be praying for you.
