I am really, really sorry about your cat, spikes. That's awful. I am glad you told us, though. Isolation has never helped me when I have also been in a similar situation. I hope you feel better soon, but I know it will be hard.

Super glad you slept, Nammu. That is a triumph! Let's do it back-to-back now...

Words from someone you don't know very well are totally inadequate when it comes to your physical pain, Christina. I am truly sorry. I retired before most of these current biologics really hit the market heavy and I am clueless about them. I had no idea the pulmonary side effects could be so consequential. Really sorry you are suffering. Hopefully, you can find one that does work with your lungs and soon. I'm sure your rheumy can figure this out with your lung guru. Sending prayers and support your way.

Quick update for me, or this will be a novella. Slept about three hours last night and first got up around 0130 PST. Ate and took my meds, read all the papers. felt pretty good and so decided top work out. Got back from that at 0715, had another cup of Earl Grey and was suddenly exhausted. Miracle!! Lay down and slept until 1015. That is really good for me.

I feel pretty good so far today. Not manic really. Brief episode of voices during the night, but they calmed down--thanks, Zyprexa and Abilify, I think. All in all, doing quite well for me this morning. Very grateful. It's been a struggle lately. Would be so nice to string a couple of good day s together.

Sending hugs and support to everyone struggling. Hang in there.
