Another one!
I'm dealing with bigger things lately- like my dr's
appointments still. *Still no answers. *I feel like I
should call Discovery Health Channel for their show
"Diagnosis Unknown"! *I went for a cortizone test a
few weeks back and have not heard about those results
yet. *I have an appointment with my primary doctor on
Thursday- a follow-up from issues I phoned about a
couple weeks ago about my Celexa dose change. *Goes
like this: I was having emotional swings and they
decided they had to do with just before my period
(which I guess they WERE, BUT they have happened when
there has BEEN to following period!) so they diagnosed
me with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder and doubled my
Celexa. *Not long after this, I started having
emotional swings even worse- almost day to day! *I
started talking a mile a minute about nothing and
feeling like I had to do something- ANYthing- and NOW!
So I called them back. *They downed my dose for a
while and said to call them back, meanwhile my psych.
office is talking with my primary care doctor and what
to do with me. *
WELL! *Thus far, I have not noticed much of a change
in my mental condition. *This past Thursday evening, I
went to a church-choir picnic. *Hadn't seen these
people in months, if that, as I'd been sick last
Spring too and missed the end of the choir "year". *I
got very "antsy" again and literally talked the ear
off of my ex-husband! I mean, a mile a minute, you'd
think I had had 3 large Starbucks "bold blend"
coffees, talking! *The following day, I was feeling
very depressed. Having suicidal thoughts, which is
unlike me. *I slept a lot that day and ended up going
out with Christopher. He bought me some ink and paper
for an old printer he has so that I might print out my
website, which I'm trying to turn into a book. *So, we
had Wendy's. *That was all fine. *Until....
That evening, I had a slight stomach ache. *As the
next few hours went on, it got a bit worse and a bit
worse and I KNEW this was just like it was in June. *A
Friday, even! *It continued on while I tried to ignore
it until about 2:30 a.m. Saturday, when I could no
longer ignore it. *I started having hot flashes and
cold flashes, sweat pouring down my face, and ripping
off my clothes and dizzy in the bathroom. *Not new to
me, but never any less unpleasant. *To spare you the
details, I ended up naked on the floor of the bathroom
or the hallway and throwing up... and slept for a bit
ON the toilet with a pillow! *By 6 a.m., I could
finally sleep some and did until 2 p.m.! *UGH.
Christopher was gone that day to Toronto for a neice's
