me too! It's been hard, considering my current circumstances. I want to be well no matter what I have to do. But as a child it was very hard to deal with knowing that these preliminary diagnoses led to my near death. Due to the mental health profession treating me with drugs they now consider only fit for adults.

I spent a month in the hospital from unknown reasons at the time. Three weeks into my stay they found that my spleen was covered in sores and had it removed. The pathologist said it looked like a spleen from a "drug addict". I was only 11 years old.

Only thing we can figure out now is that immediately before this happened I was on Prozac. My script was stopped when it ran out because I wasnt improving in any way.
Shortly there after I came ill with a 104.8 temp and Haemoglobin dropping about 3g an hour. I was going to die. Thankfully I had the best treatment available, since my Grandfather built the hospital I was taken to.

There is still no definate reason this happened to me. All I can figure out is that it may have been a Serotonin Toxicity issue. Through much research I found this to be most likely, considering the spleen metabolizes Serotonin. It was very traumatic, and is why I have tried everything in my power to not be medicated.

And not to mention I could be wrong, Doctors have not wanted to explore the ideas, or causes. For some reason they dont want to be involved.

Now I must take the gamble. I have to try it again. Hopefully this time I will benifit and my immunocompromised state will not cause more problems. Overall my fear is hard to deal with, It's all I can think about when approaching a doc for medication.

Oh and incidently, I dont think they knew about this side effect when it happened to me. Prozac was released in 1988, I got sick in 1989.
