    Making drinks less acidic?

    The Depression Letter

    Reading the Fibromyalgia letters made me think I should write one like it, only talking about Depression. So I just now did. And here it is: I have spent more of my life depressed than I have spent being not depressed. Most people don't think that is possible, but believe me, it is. Many people...

    Depression medication

    I am beginning to wonder if I should get medication for depression.

    Keep a positive on on the end result

    This past weekend, it suddenly hit me. Intense/severe constant pain in my upper right abdomen. Since I am 22 weeks pregnant, I freak out not knowing if something is happening to baby. I go to the doctors on Friday and find it is just round ligament pain (Ligament - kind of like a rubber band...

    A continuing saga

    I continue to be frustrated with getting a diagnosis. Continuing pain and discomfort and fatigue. Up until this year I was working as a substitute teacher at a local girls high school. I loved working there and always felt like I was coming into a strong caring community. I have always had...

    Supplements good or bad ?

    I heard that rhodiola is helpful for fibro. I also heard ginsengs of all kinds can rev up an immune system that is already in overdrive. Opinions differ. Anyone tried it ? I find D3 is helpful.
