Re: UPDATE on changes

"I have been monitoring the symptoms and more have surfaced.

9. Internal body temperature fluctuates between 97 to 98 degrees F, even though she feels hot or flushed.

10. Extreme fatigue, not sleepiness, is affecting her more often."

Okay, she's hypothyroid..........  Go to the iodine forum and get their advice.  This is the very condition that Trapper is responsible in correcting in me.  Is she also gaining weight?

The cold and flu/nausea symptoms could be due to many factors, including depression.  By the way, nausea is another side effect of Lexapro.

The rise in blood pressure is very possibly due to her diet and if she is gaining weight that is also a factor.  Again, diet is crucial.  Keep in mind, a constant state of anxiety causes havoc with your heart, all types of irregular heart beats.  Hawthorne Berry Syrup is very good for stabilizing the heart.  Also, cayenne pepper tincture.  Another thing, Lexapro causes fluxuations in blood pressure and also could be responsible for her depression becoming worse.  Is she having any suicidal thoughts?  Another side effect.

I am going to ask again if she has anyone to share her feelings with.  I see a very unhappy young lady who needs help.  I would seek a qualified therapist, preferably someone in the natural healing field.  It could be that once emotional issues begin to be resolved that total healing will follow and she will have the incentive to do what it takes physically to get well.

My Best,
