For the second weekend in a row I had to call my pdoc's after hours number. Thursday, I started a steroid and an antibiotic. The primary care provider said these meds shouldn't affect my mood-what I did not know is that steroids can. I called my pdoc because my energy is WAY to high for how sick I am and I'm starting to get paranoid. I'm going to give a .5 mg increase (which is doubling my dose) of risperidone a try to see if that does the trick. I'm glad I called him so I can take this higher dose before taking my next does of the steroid tomorrow morning.
I think my health is getting worse, but the extra energy helped me get some stationary work done and start trying to find different resources to see if/when I qualify for getting help with finances and food since I don't get paid for time off at the moment.
On a happier note, I was able to video chat with some really good friends of mine, who live out of state, on Thanksgiving. It was really nice to see their faces while I talked with them!
