    In addition to the many comments here, my primary care doc found I had low potassium and magnesium in blood tests mostly due to the leaching from the meds.  But low paotassium can have symtoms similar to alzheimers!!!  I cannot believe what a difference treating this simple imbalance has had for me.

    I live in Ohio. Seems we do have alot of the same vitamen deficiancies(sp).I didnt need chemo or radiation.Just all those problems with fighting bronchitis and no appetite with that crud. I am on the go alot.Never stop but I do want to start walking.My husband works 7 days a week.BUT says he's retiring in a couple months.Maybe we both can walk.There's alot of places around us we can walk. The closest is our cemetery.Husband used to walk there a few years ago but was getting ready to leave about dusk one night.He just happened to look around and saw a young girl dressed in a old fashion dress.Then suddenly she disappeared.He walked at the cemetery awhile after but not till dusk!!!!! He said she looked so sad.  

    I'm working on my weight problem.See we have some who want to loose and some want to gain.And we both feel the same about ourselves.I know I don't feel good being as skinny as I am. I want some weight.IMO I think it's my metabolism.

    My weight loss has put me to being a little more high strung which doesn't help to gain weight.I eat less in my case but others might eat more and gain.

    Hope 4 the Best

    OMG you said since taking antidepressants you are loosing.I thought about going on them to calm down and maybe gain a little but looks like they are not want I'm looking for.I thought I might settle down and not be so active but maybe I would be more active. Like I said I think its a metabolism problem. Doctor doesn't seem worried but she knows I'm losing and can't lose much more.
