Hey there!

[SaltyGirl]

Hi, Glad to be here with you all fellow MS warriors. Been relapsing and remitting for 18 years now, and finally have learned to improve my attitude, which has made all the difference. Depression has taken a lot out of me, but thankfully today I have hope. Blessings, everybody, wish you all the very, very best.

Depression is hard and tough to adjust and change. So glad to hear you have been able to finally get thru this 👍. I’ll bet you feel like a new world 🌎 is here. Good for you 🙏🐾 Ken

Thanks for your kind words. Every day is a new one, right? Hope you are well. Nice to meet you!

Hi Saltygirl. It sure is better when you feel yourself coming out of the depression loop. Would you mind sharing what has happened to give you that hope, it might help someone else. Blessings Jimeka 🦋 🍫

[SaltyGirl in reply to jimeka]

Hi Jimeka! Nice to meet you. Lots of things have helped me get out of the depression loop, like B and D vitamins and constant curiosity! I try really hard every day, except for when I can only sleep. Hope you are well. Thanks for the blessings! Hug!

[jimeka in reply to SaltyGirl]

I like the constant curiosity. Thanks for the hug. 🤗 back 🦋 🍫

Wow! Good for you and finding what has helped you. I too battle depression from time to time - the last 20 years. I take Zoloft to help put my brain back on track when needed. I used to be able to hit the gym but then along came MS and exhaustion. But with DMT (Ocrevus), Zoloft and IV steroids (when I can) I feel like I'm rounding the corner. Hoping the same for you!!

[SaltyGirl]

Hi, JulieW, thanks for the encouragement! Yeah, I've had depression for like 20 years, also!

Thankfully good ol' generic prozac has been keeping me well for years, which I forgot to mention! It goes with my DMT, Rebif, in a good way. I used to take Betaseron with my antidepressant and was still quite depressed, but the Rebif thankfully knocked it out of the park for me to be happy again. I still cuss about the shots, though, but I'm trying not to do that anymore! I think the fluoxetine is too much for me solo, though, so I take a little bit of zyprexa, too. But God is good! I'm thankful for my meds that work for me. Wishing everybody good health, and right meds!
