The problem with Fibro and clinical depression is that it's even more of a vicious cycle than straight depression. If you do nothing and stay indoors, the physical Fibro can actually get worse, which then makes the depression worse, lowering levels of serotonin, which makes the Fibro worse. There's also a lot of fear and anxiety when you've just been diagnosed with Fibro and hiding away doing nothing can reinforce those fears. I've had clinical depression myself, so I understand where you're coming from. Ruchie def. needs professional help to get her through the depression, but there is also stuff she can do to make sure the Fibro doesn't get worse in the meantime. Fibro is possibly caused by neurotransmitter imbalances, so chemically it has a lot in common with clinical depression. If the Fibro gets worse, the depression is likely to as well. I'm on a-d's to control both the depression AND the Fibro symptoms. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
