For the first time since being diagnosed, I didn't take my morning meds until the afternoon-whoops! Not working has my schedule all thrown off, and adding meds from a PCP added to the mix.

I ended up calling my PDOC after hours again. Of course, shortly after the office closed, I started getting symptoms that made me worry (well, I'm still a little worried) about lithium toxicity-I started this med again the day before Thanksgiving. It's hard to know what is causing what because of how sick I've been but, I ended up calling him because yesterday my unsteady gate and occasional light headedness when moving to quickly turned in to getting dizzy sometimes, even when sitting. My nausea, which has been gone since the beginning of November, I have a nasty headache (I never get those), and tremors that make me focus a little more to get my hands to work properly. I'm also SUPER thirsty, but I know that's a general symptom of lithium.

He said I can skip it tonight and wants me to call the office tomorrow so he can look over my chart. I also need to touch base with my boss about the short term disability process-I really hope this gets approved so I can have at least a little bit of income.
