Question: I just spent an hour doing this (I type slow). After typing went to next step. I Picked (looks like a special offer?) unlimeted questions to G.P. for $15.00. The box that is actually/already checked! went to get answer I asumed it would take me to credit card info/payment? NO, it told me to write my query before proceeding!!! In a nut shell, one of my several medical conditions is somewhat(I really do not like telling people how bad it really is) severe depression. Hopefully I do not need to go into a lot of detail/explanation about it? The only reason I admit it now is because the depression I would guess is the biggest/major contributor to the condition I am asking for help with at this moment! I am haveing serious as well as very consistant stomach issues. I believe I most likely have an ulcer? of some sort? Honestly lately I have been haveing verry consistant (90% yes, that often) upset stomach in general, nausea, a knotting feeling, I hate this. I have vomitting on a regular (50-75%) bassis. I do not believe anyway that it is likely a bleeding ulcer (at this time anyway). If there is any bleeding, maybe sometimes durring bowel movement it is bright red. I do not believe it to even be internall? I also have a somewhat of a regular constapation issue that I believe to honostly, most likely because of useing a lot (not an awful lot though!)(couple bottles a/week) of peptobismal. The only other, I believe, medical issues that could or might have any cause/effect senerio would be my high blood presure(typicaly under control with meds). I also have bad back, actually dissabled because of it. I had a disk replaced @2years ago. I have a bellybutton hurnea. I hate to admitt that because of situations I am not near as active, or as good of shape as I was even just a few years ago. I am not much over weight, I am just in far less than good overall cond. I have not been able to keep nearly as active as I should be, so, overall I would have to say I am now the weak/soft (very weak as compared to less than just 5years ago! Because of dealing with also a lot of cronic back pain, I have also been takeing lots of painpills (oxcycotin mostly). These also I believe have done much long term damage that I had no idea was even possible. Overall I am generaly frusterated with feeling sooo bad. I very much want to make serious/positive changes. I am trying to learn all I can about nutrition. My first issue would be the need to treat my stomach pains-upset, nausea and vomitting. These are very constant, I have very few even talorable days. I am really hopeing/trying to use as many naturel/home remedy type salutions to health problems. Obviously treatments etc. need to work, just would like to stay away from scripts. I think I mentioned prior, Oxcycotin is a good example of something that I am sure did serious, long term, if not perminent brain chemistry damage? Do you know anything about situations such as I mention? Do you know anything about speciel diet/supliment treatments tailored towards pain management? Before I began pain-meds on a consistant/long term basis my body had naturel high tolerence towards pain on its own. I had what I would call 180-Deg change would be that I actually enjoyed dificult/stressfull situations. Today I suffer a somewhat serious depresion that makes it impossible to get out of bed most days! I normally really dont want to-to physicaly just cant. All of these things are the opposite of who/what I want to be. Every day of blah just makes life even more miserable. Just a few years ago (prior to a few major medical and pearsonal issues) life was much more enjoyable and easier! At this point it is very hard even keep a life is worth living attitude. Unfortunetly because my son and I are and have been homeless for @3years. We have been bouncing around staying with different family members. My life might really suck(I honostley think so). I look at my son, that is very painful. He deserves and I want to do sooo much more for him. Sorry to ramble soo much about nonsense. I guess I needed to vent some. Any help you can offer for these things. I would truely be grateful. I am also looking for any and all quality info or direction for info. on nutrition. I have not had good luck with pharmacuticles! I found out that (makes sense) very first doctors really had to and did work wonders with nutrition. I mentioned some seriouse damage, to brain chemisitry mostly, from the Oxcycotin. I was off for @9months. I was first told that withdrawls would be pretty bad for up to @2nd week, by the end of 4th weak I should be back to normal. All was much worse than I expected but the worse part was that even at 9 months without I was still not even close to back to normal. I felt at best that I at least had a bad flue!! This was after my back surgery. I am very confident that the procedure helped a lot. The biggest problem I noticed was that even though the pain itself was reduced. I no longer had anywhere close to my original/ naturel pain tolerence? This is also a major concern to me. I have tried to learn as much as I can about this. Can you offer any insight, or direction? I believe I have learned some about Saratonin levels and how they relait to depresion and the bodys naturel pain tolorence. These are bothe I believe to be major problems with me (I have none?). Please I need all the help and direction I can get with all of these issues! Stomach First Most! Help in these cases could honostly save my life. I am sure this sounds very dramatic! I am at the end of my rope. I cannot believe I have not had a nervous breakdown. I almost forgot to ask, how teeth (mine)went from good (at 40 I had 0 cav.) to very bad. My teeth seem to have gotten very brittle, soft, just bad now as well as gums? I also do n ot think I mentioned anti-depresents? THANK YOU XXXXXXX
