Hi
About this I got something to say!
Check your lithium levels regular because if not you can get a surprise just like that and believe me this is not a good surprise at all!
I used to check my levels every other month but in Christmas time I didn't do the blood test (was too busy getting depressed ) and just in Christmas time I started getting diarrhea every day. But it as a very tough time with personal problems and stress and I thought it was this the reason. The time passed by and the symptoms didn't stop. I start feeling dizzy with nauseas and with lack of strength. Tooth pain, leg muscle pain, everything you can imagine... Even my hair was not the same (it's been more than a month already). I decided to go to a doctor and he asked to do some analysis and another exams. When the results came I was with lithium at 2.0 (do you know the Max acceptable right?).
My luck that made me survive In th truthfully meaning of the world is that on of the effects that I had was that I had the feeling that I didn't feel my mouth and didn't feel the taste of food and all so I was constantly drinking water during day and night. More that 5 lt per day. Otherwise I'd be in very bad shape by now (or dead).
after knowing the results of course reduced lithium to half per day and now I'm getting better of my side effects (going to the dentist etc)... Lithium enters into our blood like a poison and damages a lot of things... Of we don't be careful.. My liver was already getting fat
Damn disease and damn treatment
