Does anyone here have health issues that aren't mental?

Lounge
1

I happen to have epilepsy.

2

I’m wondering about a couple. Geodon can affect your heart, and I’m wondering about my prostate.

3

I don’t know about prostate but it can effect your heart. I still am trying to learn all the side effects of meds to become a better healthcare provider.

4

I don’t think the med’s are affecting my prostate. That is something that comes with age.

5

I have a mild case of diabetes.
High blood sugar levels most definitely caused by the Antipsychotics.
I’m taking Metformin for it.

6

Chronic pain for me

7

Do migraines count? They are not ordinary migraines. I just feel dizzy, nauseous, and have depersonalization also, the text moves when I try to read it. There is no pain. My neurologist says that it could be atypical migraines or part of my psychological issues.

8

Yeah migraines do count because it’s neurological.

9

I have pretty bad auto-immune issues. Hormones out of wack, swollen glands, pressure in face, odd temperatures, etc.

I have technically two sleep disorders, hypersomnia NOS (which is a dumbass diagnosis that literally just means really sleepy all the time, idk why I wasnt diagnosed w narcolepsy even though that’s what the doctor was talking about) and something else about my circadian rhythm being delayed so I’m basically naturally nocturnal and always have been since I was born.

I also have some sort of bladder issue. It’s either weakened pelvic muscles or an inflammatory disorder like interstitial cystitis. Haven’t sorted it out yet, need to make follow up appt w doctor.

I have chronic back pain but that’s probably because I’m very busty. I have bad knees from years in marching band.
My feet get messed up really easily from walking regardless of what kind of shoe I wear, it’s like the muscles of the sole of my foot get pulled and I end up limping.

I’ve been having digestive problems for the past several months but I’m hoping it’s just med side effects. That’s really it.

11

A bad back and fatigue. Slows me down at work.

I’m basically very healthy except having schizophrenia. I have balanced meals, exercise, and good nights sleep.
