Thank you! Same here. I only go to see my sleep specialist so I can get my narcolepsy medicine. Whenever I've tried to get help with other issues including severe bowel pain that goes on for days at a time I get there isn't much we can do for you. So I don't bother anymore. I love the beach. It's the one place I feel more alive, like I'm more me again. I live in AZ, I moved to Yuma from Tucson just so I could get to the coast easier. Part of my depression is living in a hot sunny, dusty climate. I love it cool, cloudy the ocean, greenery but being disabled most of my life I can't afford to live anywhere close to that. I rarely ever go outside, it just depresses me more. I'm heat intolerant and end up sick going outside many months a year anyway.

Hi, I just read your post (which I missed) and now I understand your issues a bit better. I do not understand you having severe bowel pain and not knowing why. There has to be a reason and you should be getting help from a Gastroenterologist (not to insult you if you have seen one). Re the weather I hate humidity and I live in Beverly, MA. I so miss getting to the beach just to be in the sand and near the ocean watching the waves and the sound of them. I would go into the water but my body has gone beyond south. : ) Being disabled in itself can make you depressed. I wish I had some great advice but unfortunately I just don't know what I can say to you to help. Please feel free to post when you feel the need. We are here for you. Take care. Nancy
