Message: <blockquote data-quote="AuroraGyps" data-source="post: 1925017" data-attributes="member: 1166">My main problems are depression and a social anxiety disorder (many have seen the Zoloft commercial with the little oval people... everything the narrator says, that's me to a T).  I also have some arthritis in both my knees, which has developed over the last 20 years on top of some other knee problem (can't remember the name).  Plus, I could stand to lose a few pounds (sitting wround depressed for a few years with out getting treatment'll do that to you... luckily, I know I could weigh way more than I do). I also have two annoying problems:One is that one of my allergy symptom is that the roof of my mouth gets really itchy.  I'll wake up some times with the the roof of my mouth rubbed raw. The second problem is that I have floaters in both of my eyes.  Floaters are blood clots or other opaque substance that can be seen as shadows.  My father has had lattice degeneration of the retinas for 30-40 years and we think I may have the same problem (I haven't been to a specialist yet due to $). It kinda looks like little wisps of smoke in my eyes and the left is worse than the right.  What makes it annoying is that the darkest spots are in the very lower left corner of my left eye and sometimes I think there's a bug running around just out of my sight.  I had a problem with ants this past summer and it was crazy..."ant!.. naw, it's a floater... ah, no it is an ant" for like a week.  There's not much that can be done, if it's the same thing my dad has.  There's more of a chance of making things worse.  Ya know, I have a feeling I have the same thing.  I went to a doctor once, but I think he missed the diagnosis.  I'm in the process of finding new doctors that pay a bit more attention to their clients snd their symptoms.</blockquote>
