I was just reading that Arthritis is caused by eating habits….I have lived with Rheumatoid Arthritis for over 37 years. I am 56 years old and have gone from super skinny to overweight at present and would like to know how diet effects my condition.
Hello doctors and oprah and everyone online, Maybe someone out there can tell me what is going on with my weird body. I am a 42 women 120lbs height 5-3 and I eat & drink just water & 2 cups coffee keep me awake a day & excerise 5 days a week Sunday’s,Monday’s, Wednesday’s do .30 minutes cardio at my lunch time and after work 1 hour of cardio, and Sunday’s Tuesday’s, Thursday’s 30 minutes at my lunch and 30 minutes after work in evenings along with 1 hour of weight lifting at right weight. And I eat 5-6 fruit & veggies daily and take vitamens everyday.I have thyriod problem but take medicine for it and get b-12 shots too once month from doctor’s office.So my problem is I am real tired all the time still since I hit my forty’s it seem like my tireness getting worse and worse and my bones ache daily from level 5 to 10.I have all my blood level tested every 3 months do to my thyriod problem, but everything comes back fine.I have my doctor do other blood test too but all my lab blood work comes back fine,I am not depressed.It has got so bad that my doctor told me to stop coming in so much to his office.But I feel that there is something wrong with my body because why wouldnt my tireness go away and why do my bones ache-arms are worse hurting, why does my heart feel funny sometimes.So I would seem like I am in perfect health, but my body is telling me otherwise.I have had lab work done by my gyn doctor too and all those lab work come back find too.I don’t smoke or drink at all.But just know something wrong with my body I can feel it, but if all my lab blood work comes back fine, then what eles can my doctor do to help me? So if there is any doctor out there that maybe can tel me what kind test i can have my doctor do on me or any other doctor that can do test on me to see if we can find the problem that is going on with my body please let me know i do have medical insurance. And i am not a crazy person because this what my doctor said to me maybe I am going crazy and i said maybe you are dumb, but i can not change doctors untill 01/01/2008 do to my insurance and I am going to change doctors but I don’t know what they will have to say too me.Also I said to my doctor maybe the thyriod medicine i am on is not working and he said he never had a patient were that medicine quit working for them that i am on.But I try not to give in to my tireness or bone ache, I still go and work out daily 5 days a week and I do medium weights for my body frame too.Thank You Sweetness
Try having an adrenal function test, it helped me.
EMOTIONALLY NUMB. For over a year now, my emotions have virtually dissipated. I just feel blank.
Most recently, I followed up with a registered psychiatrist. Starting in the late spring of 2008 we tried a couple of different meds for anxiety. The last script was Pristiq, along with Stratera for ADD. I relinquieshed the meds at the end of 2008 as I felt minimul improvements. And for me, the Statera was not user friendly. The doctor’s diagnosis is chronic depression. With that, we decided to try Lexapro (again) to be accompanied by Deplin. Also, he explained that as we age our emtions “fall off”.
I recently started on bio-identical hormone replacement therapy in hopes that getting my hormones in balance would help with these symtoms and get a sense of well being re-established.
I am 53 years young. Putting a smile on my face and feeling it from my head to my toes has always been a part of who I am and how I feel….a given. Now I have to force that smile with no firing of emotions. I am 53 years young and determined to get reconnected with life.
Please…. help!!!
kas, please see your internist to rule out hormonal abnormalities (i.e., thyroid). Have all of your reproductive hormones tested, as you’re likely in menopause, and our bodies can go nuts.
Antidepressants are effective, but it takes a while to find the right one — and it can be extremely frustrating. You often have to take a specific drug for 6-8 weeks, only to find it doesn’t help. Then, the doctor needs to prescribe something else to see what clicks with your brain. Depression is a physical, brain-based illness that involves neurotransmitters like dopamine, seratonin and norepinephrine, so please don’t give up. Studies show antidepressants, combined with talk therapy, are most effective in treating depression.
Eat and sleep well. Don’t let yourself get too tired. Put good food in your body, and continue working with your doctor. If you have any doubts about your treatment, get a second opinion.
Best,
