HEY HB!!! title is correct.. i am only 24 years old with a slew of health issues from a decade of psychiatric medications.. lets start out this way.. when i was 12-14 i weighed 130. once i took a few bipolar pills, zyprexa, depekote, seroquel at ages 15-20 i went right up to 322pds.. now for the past 2 years as of jan15, 2009 i will be 2 years off psychiatric meds totally.. i know i need them, but cant grasp or handle what they have done to me physically.. here is my list of issues..

1.. almost about to go blind-dealing with pseudo-tumor cerebri-fluid in brain and pressure in optic nerve
2. thyroid issues- this is the only problem i will take a pill for..
3.. ovary issues-pcos=polycystic ovarian disease-abnormal periods, tons of hair all over body, fertility issues.
4. insulin resistance-constantly crave sugar to function properly
5. sinus issues
6. ibs=irritable bowel syndrome
7 acid reflux/heartburn like crazy
8. carpal tunnel syndrome
9. bipolar of course
10. numerous leg and back pain galour

thats all i can think of right now,, i have lost sum weight though,, i am 5 foot 7 and 289 pds.. the weight came off when the bipolar pills i quit.. i cant seem to find a diet that will suit me and i wont crave sugar. i have a hard time sticking to diets.. i like to feel free. i am partially a vegetarian too,, i dont really excersise though.. i need help like crazy.,. i am lost for words and my health is deterioating slowly.. help

Your doctor is your best solutions because of the medical issues you are facing. I wish you well and even though I don't know you, I believe in the power of prayer.

I do believe in god and jesus.. I do pray like 3 times a week.. I just hope my health can get better.. I cant even have a job, because all of these issues interfere, and the tons of appointments i have to go too.. I wish i can turn back the hands of time and did research when i was younger about all these psychiatric medications.. Now its too late the damage is done to my body already.. No reversing.. I just pray for a mircale that i can have good health and maybe 1 day get married and have 2 beautiful kids. I hope i can be able to acheive the every daily duties of work.. i have applied for less stressful jobs, but do to my medical issues they never want to hire me.. what a blow to my self esteem.. Any words of wisdom would be helpful right now.. thank you all.. Christine..
