Maybe next Thursday will reveal something, but as it will be only a video appointment, it won't be a thorough exam.
My psychiatrist hasn't wanted to decrease my Seroquel XR given my stress levels. It's probably been the right decision. Maybe my stress will start to decrease a bit, but with my dad coming home in a little over a week, it's hard to know if it will go up a bit again. I'm glad this will be a long weekend!

Hey BD! What a coincidence we are talking about periods the day I come back to post a little more. lol Yeah, I literally just started this month's one and it's 5 days early. This has not happened in years and even when I'm just a few days off, it's more typically a later start date, not an earlier one. So very weird.
But what hasn't been weird for awhile is my long 10 day periods. I've had every test thought of to see why this is and nobody knows. Luckily it's only heavy for 2 or 3 days, but there is still something for the 10days. It's very frustrating to my husband too. sigh!
Other than that...omg, did I mention my stye here?? If so, I can look back to see how long it's been. I still have it. :/ It was much better and then I stopped the warm compress for a day and it came back some...more and more people are talking about getting the virus and it's worrying me a bit that that could be a possiblitiy. I don't really believe it to be true right now, but omg, I'd hate if it was the case!
ok, well, i'm going to look back a little and see if I can find any stye posts.
sending my best!
edit: ok, didn't find any mention of stye here. but some other things I could update.
Gabapentin has been fine. Still unsure of the weight gain. Have not had access to a scale to check, but have been trying to get in exercise again. Still not back into it fully or every day, but really trying...and well, yesterday was pretty close actually, but I had to push myself because of this fatigue (again, hoping it was PMS).
Ha! Well, with the exception of tonight, I've been without the deep fried foods for like 2 weeks now. (has it been that long and the batter is still good??!! hmm!) heh, and I was continuing hummus with celery and/or carrots and pita bread (not really supposed to have bread, but it's ok once in awhile and I was out of veggies...oh wait, there was broccoli there once too!)
and finally, GP is upping my Zoloft to help with the anxiety and OCD tics (or body focused repetitive behaviors) as these have still been an issue. But I also have Clonazapam for a prn (as needed). I might be checking in here more often with this med change, but I'm still not sure. I'm already internet addicted and need to still rest my eyes a lot. eh hem. :P
