This past depressive episode and the return to medications has me thinking that I would like to be off the medications once again. The VNS unit, when turned up increases the appetite and I have to eat every hour and can not sleep. If these things can be solved I would turn up the device, but right now I don't know how to get past that aspect of the device. So I am looking elsewhere and I found TMS therapy. Click here
I am living with depression. I was implanted with VNS therapy on March 11,2008 and am blogging what experiences I have, not only with the device but with depression itself, and just what depression is. This is to let people know depression is not just the "blues". True depression is a disease, not a mood problem. One can manage the depression with various treatments and I invite you to learn with me as I go through it.

Body Aches and Pains
The aches and pains got to me finally and I looked up the simvastatin and found out that the cholesterol drug can cause some of the problem. I went off the drug on the 19th. The next day I felt 85% better and it continues to get better. However all the aches and pains have not gone away. I still have upper back tension and migraines. Lot of tension in the jaw area.
My teeth problems continue. They are slowly and surely getting better. Dr Ong works on me weekly now. But there are other teeth not in the work area that are hurting as well. One day at a time.
The VNS implant is helping the weight come off. I seem to run around here as if I have a firecracker up my butt. And there is very little appetite. Food is not necessary to enjoy life anymore. At least when the implant is turned up to where it should be.
In the last 24 hours I have been more short tempered. So it is one week since I quit the paxil.
