SUPPORT GROUP IN UNITED STATES!!!
Hi, the only support group that I've been able to find for people with
insulinomas is located in the UK... just wondering if there is one in the US. I
had pancreatic surgery to remove my first insulinoma in 2012, we're thinking
there's another because I'm still having problems with hypoglycemia... if
anyone know anything, PLEASE CONTACT ME!!! :)
I know there can't just be a support group here for FERRETS!!! people are
kind of important... I hate this song, but "Don't worry, BE HAPPY" is okay, I
guess... I'm trying to force it upon myself. Things will get BETTER!!!

Pristiq, epilim, sifrol, immovane, valium, mobic
I started out with mild burnout depression in 2009 and was put on a low dose
of Lexapro, which picked me up fantastically. I had been given low (2mg)
Valium before for muscle relaxant purposes due to my scoliosis complications.
Both these worked well. Then in 2010 I was drugged and raped and almost
suffocated by my flatmate. I plummeted after 3 days of numb shock, into the
deep dark abyss of major depression, and became fearful about everything. I
couldn't enter a shop if there was a queue of men in there for example.
Finding myself with complete lack of motivation, neglecting housework,
making mistakes constantly at work, I returned to the doctor. He doubled my
Lexapro dose. I went back as instructed and was not feeling any better and
could not cope with how I felt, so he sent to a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist
added Epilim ie pramipexole hyrochloride (low dose) for mood balance, upped
the Valium ie daizepam, to 5mg, and prescribed Immovane for my insomnia
and terrifying nightmares. Time went on, and I built a tolerance to Lexapro, so
he put me on Pristique 200 and Epilim 200. Then I had to have both those
doubled (400 each) and I take them twice a day. I have had NO negative side
effects at all, and they work excellently for me. As for the restless legs
syndrome, that was diagnosed before I was on these medications. The Sifrol
had to be increased too as I was told it had to have time to gradually build up
in my system. It makes a great difference to my quality of sleep and how my
legs feel the next day.

Lupus induced by amoxicillin (1 response)
Was given Amoxicillin for Strep Throat and on day 10 I noticed a rash starting
on my torso and began to feel ill, as if I had the flu. Went to emerg and got
sent home with Benadryl. Woke up the next morning to the rash getting worse
and an overall feeling of fatigue. Went to emerg again and this time had blood
taken and the results showed an extreme rise in my white blood cells and by
then, I had a fever. I was airlifted to another hospital where they did tests, but
really had no idea what was wrong. I discharged myself with a script for
corticosteroids and by then my joints began to stiffen, to a point of barely

being able to walk and the pain was excruciating! I had to be cared for by my
husband and struggled to lift my tea cup, or get out of bed. This lasted for
about a month and then gradually began to subside. The doctors never did
have answers for any of it. They chalked it up to an allergy to Amoxicillin. One
mentioned "Steven Johnson Syndrome".

Health issues and struggles
I have numerous health issues. Some I've lived with not realizing they were
there. Others are caused by meds I've taken in the past or am still using now.
Lupus is the most recent and biggest trouble I have right now. It is caused by
the one drug that finally gave me control of my seizures
Some of the worst troubles have been TBI from birth. Epilepsy my entire life.
Brain tumor ( surgery to remove it in 1982) Graves Disease. RA and most
recently Lupus ( caused by the keppra)

Transient psychosis in indomethacin
I had taken indomethacin infrequently for years for joint pain but never for
more than 2 weeks in a row. One night, when I had been taking it daily for
about 2 weeks, I had a bout of psychosis approximately 1/2 hour after
ingesting the indomethacin at bedtime. I just waited it out, and in about 5-6
hours the effect wore off and I've been fine since. I had never had a bout of
psychosis before that. (I've never taken it again.)
