Medical appointment yesterday. Med adjustments for autoimmune issues. Meds appear to be controlling autoimmune activity right now.

Spent today giving undivided attention to my elderly mother. She lives with us and we do care for her. Today, I gave her even more care, as she is struggling with a respiratory virus and her very best friend has just passed on. I "pampered" her today. She had enjoyed it.

I am on 4 meds for depression and they each help a little bit, in some way. The most recent addition, Adderall, seems to be helping just enough so I can push myself into doing something (for awhile each day) to distract from overwhelming depression. ( I have been so deeply depressed, I think it would take far too much Adderall to help more. I don't think my body could safely take that much.) Hopefully, the depression will let up, on lower doses, at least enough so I am not feeling totally devastated and tortured by it. (Chronic pain is more than enough without severe depression, too.)

I feel like just maybe I dare to hope the Adderall (w/med combo) will help enough to make a lasting difference.

Love all around!
