I wanted to throw my hat into the ring for this discussion.
When I was at my worst (over a year ago now) I was diagnosed with all sorts of things; posttraumatic stress disorder, viral infection, chemical sensitivity, fibro, etc, etc (bottom line: Doctors didn’t know what I had/ have).
One of my doctors felt sure that I had depression/ anxiety and had prescribed my Celexa. I thought this was poor diagnoses as I had never experienced depression before, though I was presently caught up in some pretty serious anxiety issues due to my health concerns. Had those health concerns ceased to exist the next day, so would my anxiety.
I never filled my prescription for Celexa because I never thought I was depressed or anxious in some way that another individual wouldn’t be if they where to experience the same symptoms.
I’m nearly %100 better these days, though I do have the occasional flare up that I don’t get worked up about. My flare-ups are becoming less frequent.
For those of you who truly don’t think they have depression or anxiety issues; stick to your guns.
Don’t go filling prescriptions that you feel are erroneous for diagnoses you don’t believe in.
BFS has to run its course, or you have to take it into your heart; I have BFS and though I don’t twitch anywhere but my calf’s now, I know I’ll ALWAYS twitch. PERIOD.
I’m a happy guy who is excited about life and find my calfs annoying but I won’t let it control my life. However, when my symptoms where at their worst I really didn’t have a choice – my symptoms where going to control me and they did for about 7 months.
