I believe I have OCD and I would like to talk to others who have it.
I am a 53 year old man and they say I suffer from chronic nonresponsive major depression(or some combination of those four words). There’s another word, even worse, that
has haunted my life as far back as I can remember. Disassosiation. If something bothers you just make a place in your mind where you can’t touch it and it can’t touch you.
The only problem is every time you put something away it takes a little “something else” with it. One day you realize you don’t remember what happy is. The sky is blue, so what. you here people laugh but the concept seems just
out of reach. you walk and work and live like a robot. I would like to scream for my life I’ve hidden away, but I don’t remember how and I’m afraid to try to reach into that dark place. So thats where I am. I’ve spent thousands in therapy and taken every drug that is recommended for
depression. I’m 53 and I’m really tired. Please does anyone
have any ideas.
I was diagnosed with Lupus many years ago, and because of it, my health had been continuing to decline. I’ve had cancer twice, numerous surgeries and infections–in and out of the hospital constantly. A friend of mine encouraged me to try an organic powder he and his wife took that helped them. I have been using these Reliv products for about 4 months now, and have to say they really have made a big difference in my health. After the first week, I noticed my sinus infections had completely cleared up. That is something I had dealt with all my life and just expected to live with. I was allergic to everything before, it seemed. Then after about 1 1/2 months, I noticed I could get out of my car and the chair without the usual struggles because of stiffness from arthritis in my legs. Something I’ve also dealt with for some years. All my shooting pain is also gone from my joints, including hands. Most recently I’ve noticed my chronic bronchitis I’ve had for the past 3 years has been clearing up and the urinary tract infections. I had previously been going to the doctor at one point about every other week. I am continuing to take the Reliv products and hoping for continued improvement in my chronic bronchitis and urinary tract infections, which I’m told will come. On a side note benefit I never expected–I noticed too now that the cellulite in my legs I’ve had forever has been disappearing. That is an extra benefit I hadn’t even hoped for as I’d heard nothing really ever works except expensive massage machines and creams which doctors laugh at anyway. I also recently started trying another one of their Reliv products called, ReversAge, which I’ve noticed like some have told me that their hair started coming in it’s natural color again instead of gray. I’m told it has many other benefits. I wasn’t looking for younger hair, but am looking forward to some of the other stated benefits of memory improvement, reverse of damaged cells, and improved brain function. My father has a rare brain disease, so my brother and I started him on the Reliv products, and we’ve been told by doctors that they have been noticing an improvement already in his brain function. We feel he is near the end of this disease, so this was great news for us, even if it is just to give dad a little better quality of life at this point. Since then, I’ve been hearing of others who have had Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and MS that these products have greatly helped.
If anyone has further suggestions for urinary tract infections and chronic bronchitis, I am always open to more information.
hello, I have RSD now for 10 yrs. I am in stages 2 & 3.

It would be nice to talk person to person as I feel I can really use the support.
Sincerely, Faith
my bofriend was born with spinafida he won’t talk to me bout this condition i’d like to understand spinabida so i can learn to understand and except who he is
I have Factor V Leiden, along with some autoimmunites… I have two children that I love to brag about, lol! I do suffer from many different symptoms and just am looking for others as well for support and to help answer some questions I may have 
Thanks.
THIS CONDITION IS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DO MY JOB WHICH CONSISTS OF USING THE COMPUTER DAILY. MY TREMORS ARE SO BAD THAT MY TYPING SKILLS ARE PROBABLY DOWN TO ABOUT 10 WPM NOW.
I am in the early phase of rsd, I beleive it was caused by a sympathectomy that I was talked into. No one seems or wants to understand the pain levels involved, the depression, and all that go along with it. I also have had Fybromyalgia, that was first called CTS, and had Grave’s disease that turned into hypothyroidisms after the iodine pill. All these things have the same effects, so now, I don’t know, or maybe even doctors don’t know what to do with me. I feel like I’m floating alone, in a sea of pain, pills, depression and anger.
looking for others with treatment resistant depression
Originally from Lincoln, Ne . Graduated from Lincoln Northeast and UNL. First diagnosed with OCD in 1995. I have always had problems keeping a job since graduating from college. I have not identified to employers that I have OCD. I am wondering if I should since my last job, some OCD events occured. I was micromanaged the last two months this brought on “FULL BLOWN” OCD episodes. anxiety level is still high. Have other people had job problems due to their OCD ?? And what have they been?
I’m BP, have been for 15 yrs. Was single mom for all of them. raising 3 kids all alone with BP is [was] a bitch, for me & them. They are now 25, 24, 22. can’t believe we made it through it, but we survived,a very long and treacherous, scary, unforgettable [well I don’t remember alot of it, I’m sure they remember all of it]. Now a single woman learning to live for ME [whats that mean?]. How do I focus & concentrate on ME?
I have dealt with episodes of depression since 16, which is when I think I actually understood what was wrong. I am currently 3 years into an episode which is proving treatment resistant and is extremely frustrating to say the least.
I am interested in connecting with others who have suffered from this illness and actually understand what it is like. I am interested in learning about any therapies that people have found helpful, be they traditional or alternative.

I have lived with chronic Pancreaitis for seven years now.For the last two years i 've lived with severe daily pain, which is often excruciting! I am on 80mg of morphine a day as well as three Diconal dailly as well as Creon 10,000, rainitadine, four 1mg pills of lorazepan. All this helps a little, but the constant pain at such a young age (34) is relly getting me down; as i have become a recluse over the last two/two & half years. I am at the end of my teather. My GP and gastroentrologist dont seem very sympathetic or bothered i 'm in agony on a daily basis. two weeks ago they gave me a temp (24hr thing) nerve block, but this did not work for me.Please help. I would like info on latest surgeries and where to go to get it done. Also contact with other suffers.

Because my husband died of cholangiocarcinoma — diagnosed through autopsy— metastasis to spine, arm, femur and pelvis. I’ve never read of cholangio metastisizing to this extent and continue to read in hopes of confirming that his diagnosis was correct.
