This is a good point...I often feel invalid because there is no good answer at this time. My mind is an asshole in that it's like "oh hey, they can't figure out what it is!

Well, we'll see what happens with my Zyprexa medication...it's been maybe a little over a week since I started it. I guess we shall see what happens.
