@Soupe du jour It seems youve been through the wringer for some time now. I hope you feel better soon. I'm sorry you're having problems with your sister. Sometimes settling estates create hard feelings.

@Nammu I hope your sleep comes around soon. As for your dizziness after giving blood, I'd avoid vampires.

@JaneOnceMore I'm glad you were able to get through late spring without getting hypo. Now, all we have to do is get rid of your recent depression.

As for me? I've been scary stable for several months...a long time for me. Since my shrink retired, I've been seeing a NP for my prescriptions. She got rid of the Depakote I was on for years, and put me on Lamictal. She also prescribed Zyprexa and a small dose of an anti-depressant (the name escapes me at the moment). Since Lamictal fights food cravings, I've been able to lose a chunk of weight despite the Zyprex. I have no idea why my shrink kept me on my previous med cocktail for so long. This new NP really knows her shite. I am grateful but, even when I'm stable, I wait for the other shoe to drop. I've been on this roller coaster ride many times before. There was a line in the movie Tender Mercies (a rather old movie) that goes, "I don't trust happiness; I never have and I never will." I can relate.

I hope everyone has a good weekend despite the problems you might be struggling with. Again...I can relate.
