@jakedduck1 Good for you, I am so glad that you don't need the anti-depressants. There are us who has inherited mental illness. Alot in my family has some sort of mental illness, The worse is my son who is bipolar 1. I am just depressive and anxiety complex. Had previously been diagnosed as bipolar 2. But my mom took her own life at 69. I'm 68 and will be 69 soon. I just can't imagine doing that there is too much in life to enjoy, even though I'm depressed now I think it was from that long 9 hour surgery on my back. I can't bend, twist. or lift anything too heavy. I'm on Lexapro and from a message on this post heard it can make you lose bone mass. My bones are soft and I'm on an injectable med to help to strengthen my bones. Best wishes to you
Wow, 3 years of comas, what caused them?

Hello,
My comas were caused from continuous Convulsive Tonic-Clonic Status Epilepticus which is a severe medical emergency when a person has one seizure after another without regaining consciousness in between them.
I was put into an induced coma to stop them. It took eight months for them to stop. When they woke me up I had no memory at all, (Retrograde amnesia.) I was unable to perform the simplest tasks. I would think my memory loss would bother me the most but what hurts the most is my inability to play the piano. When I was brought home I didn’t even know what the piano was.
Take care,
Jake
