My youngest daughter had a similar experience with doctors when she was a teenager...
They told her that her pain was caused by depression.
Now, as an adult, she has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia.

My doctor isn't sure she wants to give me the fibromyalgia label, but she's giving me more gabepentin per day now (initially it was for a non-stop itchy feeling at night that she chalked up to restless legs), but she says if I want it I can take lyrica. but so far the extra gabepentin seems to be doing a good job + lyrica can be expensive whereas gabapentin is pretty cheap

I'm glad the less expensive drug seems to be working with the upped dosage.

Stay away from Lyica!
It causes terrible weight gain and it nearly impossible to get off of...causes bad withdrawal symptoms.
My daughter took it and got fat! Fortunately she was able to get off it and now she is taking something else I don't know the name of. It seems to be working for her without the bad weight gain.

There's a lot of drugs that have the warning about suicidal thoughts....usually it's the antidepressants.
So...take this medication because you are depressed, but the medication might make you have suicidal thoughts? This makes no sense to me!

Back when. Drs and pharmaceutical cos did medicine and research. They didn't take short cuts . of course they made money.
But today it's all about the money.

I feel like teenagers are not taken as seriously as adults when it comes to mental health...

I went to a therapist when I was 14 and he never took ANYTHING I said seriously...
I went to see him in the first place because my parents discovered something traumatic happened to me and made me call the police... And this bastard was like, "Hey, I used to be a police officer... You're not acting like a rape victim... Therefore, you are lying about it to make your life more interesting..."
TF?!

And then

SPOILERX

after my first suicide attempt


He said, "I thought you were normal"... THE FUCK DOES "NORMAL" MEAN, JACKASS?!

And then he came to the conclusion that my dad was sexually abusing me...?! WHY?! Because "all the patients he's had that cut themselves were sexually abused by their fathers". Um... The fuck?!

He was awful.

And then the doctors I saw in inpatient treatment weren't any better. They put me on antidepressants and made me so much worse. It wasn't until I was like 18 when they diagnosed me with schizophrenia and finally listened to me. But even then, I still find that because I am diagnosed with schizophrenia, that means that some mental health "professionals" don't take me seriously because they think I am delusional or just "hallucinating". :|

I'm sorry to go off an a tangent, but it makes me so mad!

I find it frustrating that professionals act like they know more about a person than the person knows themselves...and then they get paid to think they are always right when they are wrong!

Our society refuses to see that teenagers r young adults.we try to treat them like prepubescent children till they're 30. When I was 16 I was green as grass and without any real direction.being treated like a overgrown 1st grader didn't help.

Some people frown on this but I change doctors if I don't like them or feel they aren't listening.

My PCP is the best PCP I've had since I was a kid and I feel like a lot of the time she kinda just nods her head and goes, 'ah yes, a bit of an overreaction tho'
However, if I pop in with a concern or message her via the portal she's completely okay with answering my dumb questions, which I LOVE!

My psychiatrist is also pretty great but sometimes I feel like she needs to put her foot down with me?? I feel like occasionally she's too lax, but then again she actually *knows her shit* like she'll draw the chemical compound for me with labels and explain how it works to the best of the knowledge available. If I have an issue she doesn't mind me calling in about it and will sometimes adjust my meds without an appointment because of it which is a BLESSING! She also truly listens to me even if sometimes she forgets to note down exactly what the problem was. But otherwise, she's absolutely fantastic and doesn't try to force me on lithium which is a medication that terrifies me. As a kid most of my peers at the school for the emotionally disturbed were on lithium and I usually met them *before* they were on lithium and then saw the aftermath. Like, yeah they were calmer but they were totally different in like a zombie-type way! Like worse than the people on seroquel (i'm actually allergic to seroquel, so they can't put me on that again).

She also is willing to swap my meds around like from adderall to dexadrine and then back again when I find the side effects of one medication to be too much.

Though, I can't take my stimulants for the time being because my heart rate is regularly at like 120+
Which is terrifying, but they have no idea why my heart is racing so bad except the cigarettes, which I'm trying to quit but its not an overnight process, yknow?
I'm just praying I don't have a heart attack before 30 at this point.

I see my PCP again in a few weeks and she's going to check my vitals and test me for diabetes. My blood sugar was a little high last time but I also chugged a sugary coffee on the way because I hadn't slept. XP So it could just be a matter of, yknow, not drinking a ton of sugar right before a blood test. lol
It was within normal ranges if I hadn't been fasting but still on the higher end of it.

So I just want to be sure, especially because I apparently have some fatty liver going on.
My plan is to cut back on soda and drink only milk, no sugar added juices, and sparkling water.
Then, when I figure out how to eat less carbs while still feeling full but not too full (veggies make me sick pretty regularly, i love salads but they are a sure fire way to vomit-ville). And I know meat isn't great for me either if its fatty meat, but I hate eating only chicken and tuna but don't know how to cook other types of fish. :(
I have a friend I hope is going to help me learn to eat healthier and figure out what foods are 'safe' for me to eat and if there's a way to make veggies at least in every meal per day safe to eat even if its just a small amount. The problem with produce though is it goes bad so quickly and we don't have the time to run to the store every other day.


....sorry for long post I was going to write more but I'll stop here.

No more if you need to. Is that heart rate resting heart rate?
