this is interesting. makes me wonder. i've been tested for everything under the sun a year and a half ago for the neurological symptoms i had. turned out that the birth control pills i took caused me to have a stroke. i've had crazy symptoms with my depression since i hit bottom last april that made me wonder if something is really wrong. but, there isn't really anything wrong other than the depression messing up everything in my body. it's amazing that it can cause neurological symptoms. i haven't heard much discussion on this aspect until this thread came along. it's so dang weird, but it reassures me that it isn't anything oddball that my docs missed but the weird things that depression can do when it becomes extremely severe. i feel better reading this thread, for some reason, because i know now that i'm not the only one with crazy symptoms that comes with depression. i'm grateful to have you all discussing things, particularly this issue. i'm deaf and don't get much info in the 3d world. thank god for the internet - i don't care what anybody says that it's internet addiction. lol.
