Need to say this about anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds.
There are many people who die from respiratory distress from taking these medications. Such as Celexa, Lexapro, Prozac, or Xanax, Klonopin, Valium., etc. They do suppress our breathing guys!! My husband and I ran across this while researching COPD. I fully realize the benefit one might have from

Joint pain
In the past I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis then told I had fibromyalgia when I switched rheumatologist. I quit going to doctors and taking meds (hydroxychloroquine, enbrel and mythelprednosolone) and started crossfit which did help until I needed spinal fusion (bounce house not crossfit) which

Pain now or pain later
I'm 30 years old. I had corrective surgery for scoliosis and acute lateral shift when I was 13. I was reasonably fine until about 2 years ago where I started having severe pain in my hip. After over a year of tests and checks it seems that the facet joints at the base of my spinal fusion are rubbing

Importance of vitamin K2. It is not only strengthening your bones and teeth, but can kill the bacteria causing dental cavities
Quite interesting article. The power of K2 with other cofactor in dental health has been recognised decades ago. Unfortunately since it has been ditched and K2 has been considered not important. This is what big pharma do not want people to know. Could we simply prevent tooth decay and even fix dental

Thoughts on CRPS compensation
So I've had negligence upon negligence and then some more...! I originally fell down the stairs and broke my leg in 3 places. They put 6 screws in my leg. One was in the wrong place (but could be argued with that it was acceptable) the other was slightly too long - confirmed by CT scan, and needed replacing

Spinal Cord Stimulation for PD Pain
I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with electrical spinal cord stimulation for the treatment of pain related to PD. Meds have become ineffective and the pain disabling many days. I already have had dbs surgery so I figure at least I could keep some appliances running during a power outage

I have had GAD, MDD, and Insomnia before COPD and have read about most medications for these conditions What helps you?
Some of the meds I take have shortness of breath as a side-effect. Benzos all have a risk I took Restoril for 2 days last week and couldn't breathe and had to go back on oxygen. I take a TCA for depression and they too cause SOB and SSRI's are better. Can anyone tell me what they are using for these
