Congratulations @HALLIEBETH87!

@MuddyBoots I hope your T can fit you in. Sounds like you desperately need help

@Blue_Bird - My meds cause me photosensitivity too. I'm pretty sure for me it's the Seroquel that does it. Sunlight is absolutely dazzling to me now, so walking in the daytime (even in winter) isn't easy for me unless it is overcast. I burn super easily now. I already burned really easily before I was on meds because of my coloring and having very fair skin. Not to mention you can overheat more easily too on most APs (at least the ones I have taken).

I'm having a good day. I slept 9 hr last night so got a bit later start to my day. I took a power walk and thankfully beat the rain as we had quite a good thunderstorm. My bloodwork yesterday came back fine; thank goodness! I did bloodwork around mid-May and the kidney numbers were not good, but the doctor asked if I could be dehydated and I said that was definitely a possibility because of my outdoor walking and my really bad slip back into consuming too much soda and coffee again. So I made an effort to better hydrate myself these past 3 weeks and thankfully the kidney numbers were normal this time around. I hopefully got that correctly uploaded to my pdoc as I see him tomorrow and he was bugging me last month about needing to see labs.

I read with the SAD lamp, did laundry, and painted a quick picture of a popsicle. It's not very impressive though. The book gave this one an easy difficulty level, and it was too easy I think as the pictures with higher difficulty levels look more impressive. I may go back once it dries and see if I can do anything more with it.
