I don't think I am going to stop the Lithium. I understand that the covering doc is being extra cautious. But I know my body very well and a couple of hours ago, my monthly friend showed up. That accounts for all of my stomach problems this past week because whenever I am going to get it, I have a terrible IBS flare up. I really don't think my stomach problems are related to the Lithium. However it would be nice to know what my levels are. The doc is coming back on Monday. At least I stopped crying. I called my husband and he helped me feel better. I am looking forward to giving my poetry reading tonight. But I miss T becasue tonight would have been our session. At least I saw him Tuesday. And hey-- about 75 percent of the content of what I'm reading tonight pertains to him, lol.
