Everything is depression.
Had major brain fog problems. But was generally happy and good natured.
Spent years seeking help, at every stage was told it was depression.
Turned out it was a horrible disease that was slowing killing me.
I imagine a lot of “depressed” people have an underlying chronic condition that isn’t being addressed.
- anonymouse008 6y agoMind sharing how one could go about testing for this condition? (This sounds a bit familiar)
- treeman79 6y agoGenetic testing for clotting. Autoimmune work up. Spinal tap for pressure. Make a list every symptom, and what affects your symptoms. Take it to every kind of specialist. Then keep repeating. Take an advocate. I would explain stuff, could see they had mentally written me off. The wife would start bawling. This would wake them up, and they would dig further. A neuro-ophthalmologist was reading my list. Looked up and declared I had Sjogrens. He was right. Now he missed the clotting disorder. Then have a clot in your lungs. Then you get taken seriously. That’s when they found factor 5 Leiden. So between the two my body and mind were trashed.
