Thank you @Blueberrybook!

I saw my T yesterday and discussed everything so far. She gave me some techniques to try to manage my anxiety. It was helpful to reflect on all of the events.

My pdoc suggested that I stop Rexulti since it seems to be causing swelling and I'm not getting much benefit from it.

So I'll only be in Prozac and Remeron. She said there's a chance I could go hypo manic but since my depression is so strong that it might not be an issue.

My pdoc also suggested that maybe I should try to stop all meds to find out my baseline. If we do that, it'll be in September or October.

The antibiotic I'm taking is starting to help. My pain is a lot less today and I'm not coughing so much.

My anxiety is still up, but that's pretty much par for the course along with feeling low.
