What is SCID (Severe Combined Immunodeficiency)?

what is Severe Combined Immunodeficiency?

In your own words, don't copy and paste, the words on Wikipedia and the SCID Home Page is to sophisticated for me to understand so please dumb it down for me :D

P.S. In your own words! :]
It's an immunodeficiency disorder, but the difference from something like AIDS is that SCID is a genetic condition you're born with. The immune system is seriously crippled since birth--both B and T cells are missing or disabled. The result is that a child with SCID cannot fight off any infections, and needs a lot of medical treatment to survive past infancy.  (+ info)

Do you anyone suffer from severe depression, anxiety and bipolar 1 combined? ?

---

You don't have to answer if you don't feel comfortable. I suffer from all of these mental illnesses and I want my doctor to change my medication. I don't think that the combination of meds that she has me on has been working 100%. What meds are you taking and what does it help and does it keep you up? Thanks for your honest answers. It will help me a lot when I go to my next appointment.
I don't have bipolar disorder, but I do have severe depression, anxiety, and OCD. I don't know exactly what you're going through, but let me empathize with you...it's not easy.

I'm currently on Lamictal. Lamictal is actually a drug that is not primarily used for bipolar disorder, but it has been shown to be very helpful. Lithium is the most common drug prescribed medication for those with bipolar disorder. Lamictal apparently can help those who have are resistent to Lithium. You can go the official site for Lamictal to read more about it, and there is a lot of information that you can google as well.

There are MANY medications that you can go on that can potentially help you. Like it was mentioned before, there is SOMETHING out there that will help, it just might take a while to find it. Definitely talk to your doctor and see what they recommend. I hope things get better for you. I can relate to how you feel, not perfectly, but enough to say that I know it's difficult. Best of luck to you. =)  (+ info)
