Umh, ok I have never tried to just sum it up. Here it goes. I have had bad anxiety, bad depression and Ive been diagnosed bipolar. I am 35, I started receiving treatment in my early 20s prob 23yrs old. Put on medication, a lot of diff anti-dep and anti-psych meds, to no prevail. BUT..I was able to keep it in check with medication and counseling. UNFORT NOT ANYMORE. To start the worst is that I do not want to leave my home. EVER.. If you were to ask anyone who has known me for a substantial time, they would say I was the most outgoing person they had ever known, I was so confident. I pay for a membership to a gym and my dtr n my sister-in-law always ask me to go. So it's not like its a new place where I don't know anybody and I'm ok confident look wise. Yet I will make up an excuse so many times at one point my sister-in-law stopped asking me. N it's weird b/c ppl do like me, so why am I so freaked out? I mean to where I'm sitting in the parking lot of a job that pays me good money freaking out having to take my medicine, which doesn't even really help, I think that's all in my head. bc most times I can tell myself to just do it n my meds kick in about 10 minutes after I'm there and I'm semi ok. I have a terrible sense that ppl are talking about me, which sometimes they r but prob not more than so, I'm like a paranoid freak. Until, the day I can't do it. I could not go in. I lost my job that day. That has been a repeated situation throughout my whole life with careers or what I may consider a job so you can imagine this has happened before. It has but I don't even feel like I have a fighting chance anymore. There has been times I wanted to check myself in but can never bring myself to do it. I don't like the idea of signing myself/my rights away to anybody or anything. I don't need a short term take this medicine solution. I need long term one, that act works. I go to the gym, I take care of my family and mysef, I try and eat right, I go to church these are all things I like to do..Why can't I ever just be happy doing them? I cannot remember the last time I was truly happy. I cry everyday. And my anxiety, forget it. I learned all of the breathing n natural tools as I went the all natural chiropractor route for a couple years. Its been 6 yrs since my last apt with a actual psychriatrist. I am seen by my primary.. I was referred by the mental dept or some 1-800 my local clinic had. I appreciate your time very much. I have no insurance as I am not working. Although, actively searching. I hope so badly you may be able to help me. My name is Nicole Wilga and my phn is (636) 297-4861. Plz call anytime, any help or even advice you may have, I would so greatly appreciate. Thank you again. ...read more

my kids are the most precious thing in my life. When it comes to things i can't fix with just a hug and a kiss i turn to their doctor. It has taken me five years, but i have finally found a doctor for my children that makes me feel comfortable. when you call or go in they get right to you and make you feel welcome. They are very through and they explain everything to you very clear and never seem bothered or annoyed by my many questions no matter how silly they are. They take their time and never rush you out the door and almost every time i need them to be seen they get them in the same day. This is the best pediatric doctors group i've ever been to and i been to a few. i am positive i will never take my kids anywhere else. Thank You for being there for us. ...read more
When you've decided to do something as personal as having your varicose veins fixed, you want to be sure you're choosing just the right vein doctor. Remember to ask yourself this: how do you feel now that you've interviewed the vein doctor? Here are some important questions to help you work through the decision process of selecting an appropriate vein specialist: 1. Do you feel at ease when you visit the vein clinic or center where the vein doctor practices? Do the facilities look clean and professional? This is an important occasion for you and, even though you're not going into a hospital, you should feel the same level of confidence about the place where you'll have this work done. 2. Are you satisfied with the vein doctor's credentials? (see more about vein doctor certifications here). Be aware that many doctors may claim to be able to fix veins even though they may not be specially trained in vein treatment techniques. Not everyone who claims to be an expert in these procedures has the kind of medical training or expertise you would expect a vein doctor to have. You deserve the best. 3. Most importantly, are you comfortable talking to the vein doctor? You don't want to be in a position of having this important work done to your body without feeling comfortable that you can ask as many questions as you like–and be completely satisfied with the answers you receive. ...read more

Our veins can cause trouble in many areas of your body, but by far the most common reason people visit vein doctors is for problems with the veins in their legs. The reason is simple—the veins in our legs do a tremendous amount of the work. They have to fight gravity constantly to keep pumping blood back up to our hearts. They use an ingenious system of valves to keep blood from flowing back down into our legs—where gravity keeps pulling it. And sometimes, as your vein doctor will explain, the valves can wear out, slow down, or even stop working entirely. These weak or faulty valves can be an inherited trait and are more common in women than in men. The government reports that up to 55% of American women and 45% of American men will suffer with vein problems in their lifetime, and varicose veins affect one out of every two people over 50. Today's vein doctors are treating a growing percentage of those afflicted. Vein doctors have powerful technology-guided diagnostic tools like ultrasound to discover underlying causes. And your vein specialist will be skilled in a number of minimally invasive procedures that can dramatically improve not only your comfort but often the appearance of problem leg veins as well. And today's treatments don't require taking off work, result in only minimal discomfort, and quickly improve how you feel. ...read more

Did you know that if you are fair skinned, you are more at risk for facial spider veins? As you certainly know, people with fair skin have a higher tendency for their skin to be more damaged by the sun than their darker skinned friends. Sun damage can cause a variety of harmful skin issues, the most immediately noticeable of which are sunburns. Repeated sunburns cause damage the skin, and skin damage caused by the sun can lead to facial spider veins. So yes, sunburns and spider veins can go hand in hand (sometimes). Spider veins can be completely unrelated to sun exposure, however, so if you have spider veins already, they may well not have been caused by too much fun in the sun. What can you do to protect your skin against facial spider veins? I'd say your number one defense is to wear daily sunscreen with a high sun protection factor. You should probably be doing this anyway if you are frequently exposed to strong sunlight, as it can prevent a plethora of other medical complications in the future. If you have already noticed spider veins on your face,the Veinwave may be an option to eliminate them.Veinwave involves radiowave pulsed on the vein to close it so you don't have the visible spider veins anymore. Luckily, facial spider veins are usually more of a cosmetic nuisance than a painful medical problem, as varicose veins can be. Your doctor can help you determine whether or not your spider veins are a substantial problem, or merely something you wish to be rid of for aesthetic reasons. ...read more
