thanks for the advice. I called my doc yesterday and he told me to take motrin. how funny. I would like to go to bed for ten hours but I can't cuz I have to clean houses so i can pay my doc cuz i can't get insurance. I went to this website called bipolarhappens.com and i think i'm going to try to get health cards. seems like a good idea. my husband doesn't have much faith in psychiatry. he's very hardheaded. I'm glad I can talk to you. Thanks a lot.
