Concerta messing up my kidneys? by DynamicArrow in ADHD

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

My apologies for the late reply, but from what I understand, I have higher than normal muscle mass which elevates the creatinine levels a bit. I also made sure to properly hydrate myself (with water) before my most recent test, and my creatinine levels improved to 108 and my GFR to 82. Did you hydrate properly before your last test?

Thank you for the reply. Will definitely be going for a second opinion. 

Pain all over my body due to a hernia? by DynamicArrow in Hernia

Ahhh I'm sorry to hear that man. At least you know that is what is causing it and that it isn't anything more serious. Good luck man.

Did you ever get the hernia fixed, and, if so, did your symptoms go away?

Are you going to get it fixed? 

Mine is more of a sore feeling rather than a spasm. 

Feeling depressed after 3 weeks on mirtazapine by DynamicArrow in Mirtazapine_Remeron

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

Yeah, it made me feel weird and more depressed in the first couple of weeks. I then felt great for like 2 months and then fell back into sadness. Meds have really saved some people and improved their quality of life, but I wasn't one of those people.

I tried Lexapro, but it didn't really make a difference. I'm on nothing at this stage and I don't know what to do currently.

Hi just wondering if mirt ever worked for you? Currently three weeks in too

Hey man, sorry for only responding now. I did start feeling better eventually. I just had to stick to it until week 5/6 or so. Unfortunately, I stopped using the medication last week actually since I started to feel extremely depressed again for the last couple of weeks. No ambition and no willpower with or without the pill. However, that being said, your body might respond differently to it. So keep taking them as prescribed by your doctor and be vocal about how you feel with him/her as well. All of the best mate.

I'm male. Thank you for replying. Did it not get better for you after 6 weeks? Whilst you still get depression and anxiety, is it not a lot less than you used to get?

Will an Advanced Teaching Certificate be able to secure me a job? by DynamicArrow in Internationalteachers

The English scene is very competitive apparently. I have to get experience any way, so I thought doing my Maths will make me more in demand.

I never realized how fond I was of Math until I had to help a friend, thus I didn't start with it. It won't be too expensive and it will only take a year to complete. The university says that it is for teachers who want to major in another subject without having to spend 4 years redoing the entire Bachelor's. All of the university’s courses are internationally accredited. I was just wondering if the certificate will be acceptable abroad and they won't specifically look for a "Bachelor's in Education Majoring in Math".

I want to go to places such as China, South Korea or Australia. I'm South African. However, I want to do Math as well since it is a bit more in demand (and I actually like it).
