On tv, there's commercials for antidepressants because "depression hurts"

Where Does Depression Hurt?
Anywhere and everywhere: at home, at work, or with friends.
Someone with depression might think or say any of the following:
* "I feel sad all the time."
* "I just don't feel like myself."
* "I don't enjoy being with my friends or doing any of the things I usually love to do."
* "I've been having a lot of trouble sleeping lately."
* "I keep having aches and pains, and I don't know why."
* "Sometimes I feel like my life is not worth living anymore."

Do you see any of these in yourself or others in your life?
• Moody and irritable
• Rigidity
• Impulsivity
• Poor insight
• New distractibility
• Trouble finishing a task
• Difficulty handling unfair criticism
• Acting unwisely with money, drinking, drugs, sex or speech content;
• Decreased speech speed and smoothness
• Decreased coordination
• Stress with transitions or change
• Thoughts of suicide, dying and hating life
• Others are flawed while patient is blind to his or her flaws
• Routine lateness
• Empathic deficits
• Revenge fantasies and holding grudges with loved ones
Compare above with advertisement for Cymbalta where numerous Lyme/Babs/Bartonella symptoms become fair game for ignoring the underlying disease and making people "high" so they don't notice they're sick. Conveniently, this medicine if anything like it's "oxetine" variants is very addictive and will be extremely hard to quit. You might even add some new psychiatric symptoms like you never had before -- panic attacks or electric shocks all over the body -- as you're figuring out how to ramp down (thanks Dr. John Koo, UCSF, who prescribed one of cymbalta's nasty cousins for "folliculitis" in 2001, alongside erythromycin for 1+yrs). These meds are also very expensive due to patent and lack of generic alternative. Meanwhile, you're high as kite due to the "*oxetine" and don't notice the sound of bacteria chomping away at your brain until it's too late...

Diabetic Nerve Pain Symptoms
The symptoms of diabetic nerve pain may be constant or may come and go. They're often worse at night. Suddenly, everyday things that come in contact with the skin—such as bed sheets and socks—may be a source of pain.
Do any of these words describe your pain?
* Hot
* Burning
* Throbbing
* Tender
* Shooting
* Aching
* Cramping
* Stabbing
You may also feel nonpainful symptoms, such as numbness or tingling in your feet or hands.
