depression symptoms versus other disease

anymore and you still have to deal with the depression also so no addiction is in no way shape or form a way to handle depression because again it is only going to eventually make the depression alot worse and add a handful more problems then just the depression and the handfuls of other problems you will be constantly worried about of course just makes the depression worse.

m now wondering if perhaps my symptoms are due to depression or are perhaps exacerbated because of depression. My question is can depression be a purely physical disease? In other words, can one have depression without feeling 'sad' emotionally? I've always been a happy, optimistic person. I have no other major stressors in my life, aside from my present illness. I'm a 30 y/o male with no history of any serious illness. I'm in good shape and have a good social life.

m sure that sounds like a dumb question when someone says they are depressed, but really, there are certain symptoms that would indicate a serious, clinical depression versus a case of feeling really down or sad based on a situational stressor - i.e. withdrawal. Obviously, feeling sad is feeling sad regardless of the cause but how you treat it does matter and that's why it's important to distinguish b/t the two.

Hello friend, yes but not long term. What do your blood labs state, can you post up for us, with referance range? Do you have any other health disease besides thyroid?

I also have the burning, stabbing, tingling sensations (sensory symptoms) not typical of motor nerve disease but more-so of typical sensory peripheral neuropathy (far more common). Yes, ALS is a real disease, absolutely and though still rare, is more common than previously discovered. God bless those who have this life-altering and fatal disease and those that are less catastrophic but still life changing, such as MND and MS.

t see a work up for a couple other things that can cause peripheral neuropathy and brain lesions. The main one is Lyme Disease and other neurotropic infections, that is infections that have a prediliction for the nervous system. That is something I would ask your neurologist to do, making sure that you have had a Western blot done at a respected lab for Lyme. The added element of chills, makes me wonder again about Lyme. It is not a typical feature of MS. I hope this has been some help.

I am currently seeing an LLMD for Lyme disease, to see if maybe that is the cause of my symptoms. I took lexapro for a month but it had horrible side effects and didn't do anything for my physical symptoms. I now take Klonopin for anxiety and it has not done anything for any of my symptoms I know I am anxious and depressed but I do not think that anxiety or depression can cause so many physical symptoms.

m taking this question from your other post - but depression is also a common problem with MS patients in general. It is hard to know if it is chemical or situational. I tell you this so you won't be surprised if his moods vary nd swing widely. From the experience here with Avonex it sounds like it takes a long time for the body to adjust to the meds. But for many it comes pretty easy. This can be a confusing disease to even discuss because everyone is so different from the next.

), I am very tired, have bits of depression. Are these symptoms or just the disease itself? I guess the question is this an episode or just minor things that MS cause. Is a person with MS tired all the time or just during episodes?

I'm 23 and have Fibrocystic Breast Disease and run a high risk for breast cancer. I've had several biop's and my doctor is telling me to consider a subcutaneous mastectomy. I had neuroblastoma as a child and don't want to go through any type of cancer again.

Therefore, even if theoretically your current migraines, depression, and arthritis are due to remote Lyme disease at the age of 9 (which again is unlikely) treatment with additional antibiotics is not recommended, rather treatment of your symptoms themselves (with medications for migraine, depression, or arthritis) is best. However on the other hand, treatment of a recent Lyme infection with antibiotics is very important. Lyme infection has been divided into 3 stages.

The pain started in my lower back and hips in my late thirties. Ten years later I was finally diagnosed with osteoarthritis after an ex-ray showed severe degeneration of the spine. The disease had now spread through my entire body. After many visits to various specialist the only treatment they could offer was in the form of :Paracetamol 500mg / Dihydrocodeine 20mg to control the pain. I have been taking 6 to 8 tablets a day. the pain never goes away but it does make it more bearable.

Scattered foci of T2 hyperintensity are seen in the periventricular and subcortical white matter which may represent small vessel ischemic disease versus a demyelinating process or post vasculitic changes." I have been recommended to a neurologist, however the earliest available appointment is December 2nd. Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Some people sleep and eat well, but have issues in other areas. I would talk to your doctor about depression, it's a very common and treatable condition.

I also take wellbutrin for depression and xanax for an anxiety disorder. I am thinking about trying to get off of the Darvon and Vicodin altogether because I don't want it to hurt my kidneys and liver and I was just wondering what I can expect as far as withdrawal symptoms and how long they will last. Also is Darvon just as addicting as Vicodin?

but the problem is that at the end of the day i feel crashed tired and next day mood is the opposite (Low) cant even talk or concentrate , yesterday i have read an article related to Dr Wilson about something called adrenal fatigue and i found out that adrenal fatigue symptoms exactly apply with my condition :1- insomnia , 2- depression and 3- next day mood problem if the day beforee is stressed with caffiene or other stressoors plus 4 - morning low state and maximum concentration or energy

I also had buzzing or vibrating in my feet, ringing in my ears and exhaustion. My new neurologist did an excellent job in researching what my disease really was. He ran a lot of blood tests that would rule out several other CNS diseases. I had a VEP done, which was negative. I had a lumbar puncture done, which showed 12 CSF Oligoclonal bands that were in my CSF and not my serum.

when a bacterial infection has neurological and resulting psychiatric symptoms, treat the underlying disease and the symptoms resolve. ============================================ The Neuropsychiatric Manifestations of Lyme Borreliosis Brian A.
