I had a pedicure yesterday for the first time since February. It felt like such a healthy gift to give to myself, and especially to my right foot/ankle/leg, as it's still healing from surgery in May.

Mentally, emotionally, I'm feeling stable. Holding my own. Physically, still not too great. Pdoc says I have dystonia and fatigue from the high dose of AP and Lamictal combined. So decreased the AP and the Lamictal. Dropped the tiny amount of Seroquel I was taking to sleep - and slept better, interestingly.

I did just notice that the stiffness up the back of my neck has disappeared. What a relief. Now I'm waiting for my jaw, arms, shoulders to stop shaking.

*sigh* Isn't it the nature of mental illness...feel mentally well, then meds cause upset with your body. I do recall that with bipolar disorder frequent med adjustments are necessary. It's sure true for me.
