Thanks I have another appt with him on the 16th, I'm most likely going to ask the one who checks in with me every 2 months to redo survey's how i go about changing pdocs in this situation. (I was represcribed the vyvanse, but same dose.. I wrote a request (and gave it to the office aid to give to the doc (i saw her slip it into his box), for a diffrent medicene or a raise in my adhd med. I called thursday when they said he'd be back in. He sent me to voicemail.and it's just been repeating. I thought maybe if i wrote him something and it's all i wrote, he wouldn't be able to over pass it so easily like he does when we are face to face 'chatting'.
Still on the prednisone too but on a lower dose , and the vyvanse is helping with the adhd symptoms to where i can atleast do things -not very productivly, but still.. better than before. lol)

:-) And i'll call my family doc tomorrow. Thanks! I'm far past due for a blood test anyways. lol ^^^^ how it feels sometimes with me in the middle of the two.

My pdoc told me this about ritalin.. i guess that's another good reason to change pdocs..

Yeah... I was diagnoised with crohn's back in august area. (i've had it since i was a toddler tho.) But i guess this time was worse than the rest, as I was terrified i had pid and it was gonna kill me if i didn't get medical attention... so i did.. and found out i didn't have pid, but i had crohn's.. (which seems to be getting worse with age.. even tho i have less stress now than i did when i was younger. lol). But with that my colon isn't grabbing all the nutrience it's needing. Landed me in the hospital a few times just for needing iv bags of potassium, and magnesium, and sodium chloride (I've fought dehyrdation and the water bags since i was 8 so, that was nothing new), and a few blood transfusions.
And the blood tests are to make sure I'm not going too low, or too high in things. (Such as potassium which is fatal either way). And to make sure my magnesium stays in the right area because it has something to do with if it's too low my body wont deal with the potassuim or any other vitiamen things and i will take it, and they will just pass right through.

50mg? huh.. and you can't really cut a capsule in two, lol. Tho when I was weening myself off of cymbalta I would make a note on how much i pourd out each night, and repeat it until I was pretty much weened off of it. What does the XR after adderall mean?
(something i laugh at everytime is when the pill bottle has "do not crush or chew" crushing wouldn't be possible, but the mere thought of chewing makes me go "eww!" lol)
