Hi Matt,
Welcome to the PC Bipolar forum!
My apologies re: your prior post not receiving any responses. It happens sometimes. It's nothing personal, for sure.
Yes, BP is definitely life-changing. The sooner we can accept our diagnoses, the sooner we can move toward more effective management, at least in theory.
I think it's wise to get the testing done! Very wise.
My pdoc uses testing, often, if he has questions about some of what may be going on with a client. He feels it brings more clarity/insight to the table.
Again, my apologies to you.
I hope to see you around the forums.
