I don't like this, its half 3 in the morning and i can't sleep. I dont like feeling this way and if i didnt have stupid depression in the first place i wouldnt have MC in the first place. Completley and utterly fed up of being blighted by problems in my life and just AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

Hope today is a better one and also that you can keep an upper hand on the depression issue. I definitely know it is not easy but you are carrying a real load and it just has to get lighter.
Here's to you.
Love, Maggie

The Mayo Clinic over here just released some research about Zoloft (sertraline) and MC. It is named as a possible causative or aggravating factor for MC. If you suffer from depression please be super careful about steroids. They can cause manic episodes (no sleep, racing thoughts, etc.). Most doctors do not know this so I just tell them I am allergic. Be careful out there--make sure you get a proper diagnosis. You just might be bipolar...if so, an SSRI alone can be dangerous. I speak from personal experience. Good luck!
