I hope you get some peace Christina. Then sleep.

I remember being on steroids (not knowing I was biplar and should be watched) and feeling so awful, what I know now was mixed plus extra agitation. My usual personality without BP is anything but aggressive. I wound up absolutely yelling at a classmate in front of my whole grad class because I was angry at him anyway and he wouldn't back off until I was calm enough to talk to him. This led to the teacher telling me I wasn't "strong enough" to be an OTR and giving me a hard time every chance he got although in earlier classes he'd liked me a lot. I knew it was the steroids but not why my experience was so extreme.Now I do.

I'm terrified I'll be told I need them to calm my gut after my scopes. I'm fairly sure that this would mean a trip IP based on that other time. I'm almost at 4 years since I was IP so I would hate that (breaking my record) but knowing ahead that it is possible and being able to plan with my pdoc is good.

Thanks for the suggestion to tell the credit card co. that I have been sick and that contributed to the payment error. This is my care credit card, the only one I carry a balance on and I am getting so close to being paid off and ready for the next procedure. I have a line of things I need. I'm sure I'll get some cavities added this time and then 2 crowns. My new dentist seems to find cavities every visit even though my old dentist didn't call the same things cavities but had them on a "watch list". I'm hoping to get the next crown in 2 months and then the last one about 6 months later if all goes well. But having care credit with an interest wasn't in the plan. I may have to transfer to another card with 0% if they are charging me interest now.

Hopefully you'll at least get some rest.
