Racer I have to thank-you. I do agree with you. Now there are a few things maybe you can help me work out. First when I had the diverticulitis enzymes were very elevated since then I was told they have come down. I guess I will have to do the communicating between pdoc and endo as one the pdoc is 5 hours away in another city. And she's not the type to try and call him. I will have to just tell her what's going on and if she feels it's necessary then she can try and make contact with him. Oh I couldn't agree more with you about the theraphy. I've tried three here. They all three said they will only deal with now issues and not go back and examine the biggest call it blockage to taking meds. And that is the fact that the prednisone killed my Mother. I've been terrified of all meds since then as I was l7 when she died. This needs to be worked through. Cause I was told by her that I made her ill and killed her which rationally I know isn't true but my child or whatever don't buy it. The medicare makes it very hard to find a therapist that takes it. The last one didn't . I paid out of pocket with my Disability. And I'm sure you've encountered this before if you take psych meds you're crazy and I always feel guilty about that too. I must say that the endo said to me are those the only meds you're on? So in your opinion seriously and you may babblemail me and I'll gladly give you my e-mail what do you suggest for someone who overeracts to everything? I thought of maybe 5mg of prozac to start with the benzos as years ago the pdoc when I wasn't depressed gave me the standard 20mg pill. First day it worked didn't know it was that but I wallpapered a foyer I'd let sit for three years. Day 2 anxiety, day 3 panic so bad I flushed them down the toilet. And it took three days of incresed xanax at the time to come down so to speak. The pdoc was a friend of mine who I worked with. He begged me to take it every three days I refused. It wasn't till years later and the thyroid went that the depression acted shall I say like depression and not like plain old panic/anxiety. Also I wonder if taking the highest dose of luvox which I tolerate in low doses might work? And of course I still like the idea of EMSAM and my pdoc will prescribe it for me. Thanks Racer I hope you reply. Cause you're a smart cookie and have and are going through a lot yourself. Love Jan
