Update. Well I have had a few times that I have gotten really depressed. The best way to describe is like a black blanket that someone throws over me. It hits fast and last for quite a while. I was getting this before when I was on medications. I started taking Chromium and it went away. A while back I did a lot of research on hypoglycemia. Glucose needs two things to be absorbed by soft tissue. Chromium and insulin. PPI's do inhibit the break down and absorption of nutrients and can also cause hypomagnesiumism leading to osteoporosis and other things. My naturopath says that high blood pressure can be a cause of low magnesium. Anyway got side tracked there. I started taking chromium again and the depression when away. Ativan is working well. I actually went shopping, to the bank and when and got a massage yesterday. That was huge for me. Anxiety seems under control. Still can't eat much. I do not think I mentioned before that back in 1994 I had 9 months where I suffered with chronic nausea. I lived off of Pepto bismol and immodium AD. Docs could never figure it out then either. I slowly got to where I was able to eat normally again but it took two years. I feel so much better physically if I do not eat. IMO I really think its my pancreas, blockage of the bile duck or Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction that is causing my nausea and not able to eat. Things that will make me sick and throw up are alcohol, chocolate, fatty meats or eating 3 decent meals a day. Still losing weight as well. Lost another 10-15 lbs. Had to by new clothes. Dropped 2 inches off of my waist and one shirt size. :( I do not want to get down to 120 lbs like I did before but if they do figure out what is going on that is where I am heading.
