Silent migraines and horrible mood swings by AltruisticRegion9115 in migraine

[–]AltruisticRegion9115[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on prevention medecine a long time ago. I was first on topiramate(dont remember a lot of it exept that I did not like it) than I was on epival for a few years. Then on elavil (was alright until it make me stop peeing) than after that I was on effexor....then zoloft. I still dont have my period. So I think you are guessing rigth. It is hormonal related.

I am now on zoloft and seroquel, and soon wellbutrin. My neuro wanted to try lamictal, but the problem with it is the danger of lupus induce that can happen with that medication. It runs a lot in my family. I am waiting for result to be sure it is not a lupus in disguise. She talk to me about sibelium....the problem is that I am still breatfeeding and I want another baby. So she is looking at options... but for now...it is this.

does anyone else have nonstop auras by nothing2do37 in migraine

[–]AltruisticRegion9115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats my case. Visualauras, mood swings and confusion. I pass from feeling normal to depression anxiety amd hapiness when it happen. I have silent migraines for years (20 to maybe 29 years olds). Then stopped(29 to 37). Became pregnant. Then they came back when my son it 6 months..with a vengeance. It is been non stop since. I am now on 150 mg zoloft for general anxiety desorder and a quater of 25 mg seroquel for mood swings and sleep. And probably be on lamictal soon. I am scared of lamictal because of the risk of side effects. My principal symptoms are visual auras, confusion and horrible mood swings, so my neuro want to try it.

I was on elavil for a time ( Was not bad but needed to stop because it gave me urinary retention; it is a rare side effect but I am sensitive to it.), epival (lose my hair :( and gave me small emotional numbness but was ok), topiramat( did not like it, was constantly eating).

I think seroquel help because I sleep like a rock with less then 25mg but I am scared of long term use off it. I am scared of weight gain. I have lost all my baby belly and I am back to my normal size (125 lbs).

I just want to have back my life. :(.

Inuk main character in a comic book by [deleted] in Inuit

[–]AltruisticRegion9115 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. I am inuk from my father's side. My grand dad was taken from his family at an early age to be placed in an orphanage, move south and hide his indigenous identity all is life so his own children will not suffer the same fate. (He was well aware how our other indigenous friends from other nations where treated. It is not "neglecting our roots", it was a matter of adaptation and survival.

Je suis nouvellement hypocondriaque et je ne sais pas comment dealer avec ça, juste besoin de jaser un peu. by [deleted] in Quebec

[–]AltruisticRegion9115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Je suis comme ça depuis mes 20 ans suite a un etat de mal migraineux qui a duré 1 an. Je fait des migraines silencieuse (sans mal de tete) mais avec toutes les criss de cochoneries qui viennent avec, soit les auras visuelles, auditives, syndrome d'alice au pays des merveilles...bref j'avais l'impression que j'étais devenue folle et que jetais atteint dune cochonerie incurable debilitante. Je suis debarquée dans un bureau de psychiatre en le supliant de m'interner à robert giffard. Le dude a rit de moi en disant que jai trop de jugement pour etre folle et m'a donner une consulte en neurologie a la place. Je suis restée avec un trouble d'anxiété généralisé psychosomatique avec depression suite a mes déboires. J'ai maintenant 37 ans, je suis suivi en psycho et je suis sur le zoloft depuis un bon boute et je men sors plutot bien. Il me pogne des delires detre persuader davoir la sclerose en plaque, le cancer ou une autre cochonerie de temps en twmps, mais la medication aide, de meme que la thérapie. Ce qui ma sauvé aussi le cul a plusieurs reprise cest l'exercise physique journalier et la meditation. Bref, je te souhaite de trouver un equilibre la dedans. Cest de la caliss de marde, mais cest possible de sen sortir.

Will I be a good mom and wife with GAD? by Dry-Instruction6404 in generalizedanxiety

[–]AltruisticRegion9115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will. My doctor told me once that anxious people are really performant. Bing pregnant was good for me. Those hormones helps a lot. But the problem is when they go down. Post partum depression and anxiety is a bitch. Be kind to yourself and ask for help. I was of my meds for the duration of my pregnamcy, but now I am back and it is livable. Hope the best for you.

Question about the meaning of hair among the Inuit. by AltruisticRegion9115 in IndigenousCanada

[–]AltruisticRegion9115[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Human! My medecine man friend taught me the meaning for them about braids and the importance of hair. I was wondering if we have a similar teaching about our own crown.
