The Benefits Of Cymbalta 
The benefits of Cymbalta will really be an individual experience, although 
these newer drugs tend to carry a lot of benefits and not nearly the amount of 
side effects as antidepressants in the past. One of the greatest benefits, 
if Cymbalta works for you, is that it seems to work more quickly than other 
antidepressants. As mentioned above, many people have to wait eight to 
sixteen weeks to even begin to feel the effects of any antidepressant. 
With Cymbalta a good deal of people have begun to see improvement in just a 
handful of days, or two to three weeks, which is a much more acceptable time 
frame. This is a huge benefit for people who are suffering from major 
depressive disorder as they don’t have to waste three to four more months of 
their life being depressed, if the medication does not seem to be working for 
them they can try something else. 
Relieving depression is a huge benefit to the life of anyone who suffers from 
major depressive disorder, or any type of depression that his or her doctor 
deems worthy of medicating. Depression can be as crippling as any physical 
disease, and stopping or even relieving the extent of the symptoms will be the 
single best benefit of any drug, including Cymbalta.
For neuropathy pain, just having a medication that helps is a benefit 
enough. Some people really experience a difference in just a couple weeks, 
and taking that pain away can really transform a person’s life over night. 
Cymbalta works to basically marinate your neurons in these brain chemicals, and 
that helps to relieve pain. Often, when attempting to relieve nerve pain 
other medications are used in conjunction with Cymbalta 
to repair nerve tissue to relieve pain both short term and long term. 
Cymbalta is a very beneficial drug for many people who suffer from the awful 
nerve pain associated with diabetes and other 
diseases.
Precautions To Consider When Taking Cymbalta
You will, of course, want to discuss your overall health with your 
prescribing doctor when considering Cymbalta, as they’ll need to weigh the risks 
and benefits associated with your taking this particular drug. Like any 
drug, Cymbalta may not be right for everyone, so you and your doctor will have 
to work together to decide if this one is right for you.
If you have taken an MAOI 
type drug such as Marplan, Nardil, or Parnate in the last two weeks you’ll want 
to wait awhile until you begin to take Cymbalta. The majority of people 
are not on an MAOI type drug, so it’s likely that is precaution does not apply 
to you, but if it does you and your doctor should take this warning 
seriously. Very serious complications often arise when these two types of 
drugs are mixed, and the complications can be fatal.
You’ll want to mention any drugs that you have been on for the last three to 
six months before starting Cymbalta. Many people don’t realize that many 
drugs remain in the system for days or even weeks after they are discontinued, 
so it’s very important to talk to your doctor and/or your pharmacist to be sure 
that you will not suffer from any ill-advised drug combinations. While 
most of what you take will probably not interact adversely with Cymbalta, you 
should let your doctor or pharmacist decide.
You’ll want to let your doctor know if you suffer from any medical 
conditions, even if they do not seem to relate to your depression or neuropathy 
in any way. You’ll especially want to mention kidney or liver disease, diabetes, 
narrow angle glaucoma, high blood pressure, seizure, bipolar disorder, suicidal 
thoughts, or if you drink alcohol regularly. These conditions do not necessarily 
mean that you cannot take Cymbalta; it may just mean that your doctor will have 
to prescribe more carefully and monitor your health more closely in

Re: [TMIC] Getting Your Vitamin B12 + The Symposium

2006-07-30 Thread ceckenberg

 Alan, and all:

Well, I am now rested up from the trip to Baltimore, and it was more than
FABULOUS--it was STUPENDOUS!  For those of you who don't know, there are
two tracks: a scientific track for the doctors and scientists, and a
clinical track for the rest of us--simultaneously going on.

Chitra Krishnan organized the symposium--and what a job she did!  She is
Dr. Kerr's Research Assistant.  The subject matter was organized from the
simple to the complex:  Anatomy and neural function--normal function, then
presentation of the various cousin diseases/syndromes; their symptoms
and how they are diagnosed; how they are similar and different;
presentations on various symptoms/residuals, like bowel and bladder, gait
and pain; then treatment elements, including physical therapy, drug
therapy, devices which improve functioning, and culminating in the climax
piece: Dr. Kerr and his stem cell research!

It will all be available on CD.  We even got to see Jim Lubin on a web-cam
type of connection, in real time!  So glad to see you, Jim.

The last event was a question-and-answer session with Dr. Kerr, Dr.
Greenburg, Dr. Kaplin, and some others.  And Nancy Davis was there--she
was diagnosed with MS some time ago, and has written a book Lean on Me,
which she generously provided everyone a complimentary copy of!
It is about how to organize and manage your own health care, especially if
you have a life threatening, life changing diagnosis.

For those of you who think you can't afford this trip, I hope you realize
that they provided continental breakfast, buffet lunches and snacks daily,
plus one evening banquet, and two wine and cheese evening events, so
suppers were the only meal you needed to buy on a couple of  the evenings.
 And they kept us busy 9am to 7pm or later most days!  It was really hard
to miss some of the sessions to go get a little rest!  The symposium cost
is very reasonable for patients and caregivers, and the hotel had a
conference rate that made it affordable.

The doctors were great at intermingling and answering questions, including
Dr. Kerr, and his staff.

I am on the internet researching how B-12 deficiency usually presents, if
it does so in predictable ways, and exactly how and what the damage is in
this Classic Case that I have.  Dr. Kaplin and Dr. Kerr pretty much said
that my demyelinating injury due to B-12 deficiency was not an
inflammatory one.  One thing I learned was that B-12 deficiency can take
months, even years to develop symptoms, and that usually, cognition,
depression, fatigue, and other like brain functions are affected first. 
It makes me look back to the year or so before I came down with the sudden
physical symptoms and try to remember: I do know There was fatigue, and I
was burning out some.  Probably it was the early symptoms.  I also found
out that bleeding gums can be caused by B-12 deficiency.

Sorry to be so windy:  I'll have more to say, I'm sure.

Cora

It was really cool to be included virtually. I hope by the
next symposium we can figure out how to do a webcast so others who can't
make the trip can watch and listen live via the Internet. 
It will be on DVDs to purchase and on the web site to watch at no cost,
hopefully in a few months.
