I went out to dinner and it went smoothly. I didn't have any urgent loose stool or diarrhea which makes it the third day in a row. What a relief!

I managed to stop at 3 glasses of wine tonight. I have been having 5 all week. That is a bottle of wine a night!
I slept like crap last night....woke up late rearranged my schedule to see a client tomorrow. So I had the morning off so that I could make myself take a shower, sigh
I hope I sleep better tonight.

Still reading here daily. Limited time to participate. Lots on my plate.

In addition to my own challenges, hubby and I are main supports for my elderly mother; she has many medical issues lately, lots of appts, tests, consults, etc. I accompany her.

Trying to counter my own depression. Trial of immune-modulating drug ( for autoimmune condition), in addition to steroids and psych meds. Still doing PT.

Hello and Love to All,

WC

Be careful with weighing every day. Normal weight fluctuations can be frustrating and lead to unhealthy habits. It's better to weigh once a week on the same day and at the same time. Just a suggestion

Feeling good today. Just need to get through work and it's the weekend, nothing planned but that's quite ok. It's supposed to be sunny and in the 60's, that's awesome for February, I'll try to get out and soak up some vitamin D

[Moose72]

I'm going to an Indian restaurant today too with my Friday lunch group. Scratch that: going to Applebee's.

I'm sore from working out yesterday.

Rexulti is working out. It's slow weaning off zyprexa- go down 2.5 every 2 weeks.

My mom's tax guy is here (at my mom's). He says I don't have to file. Whew.

[Nammu]

Made an appointment for and with mum to get a pedicure for her birthday.

[rwwff]

Got a full eight hours sleep; and am embarked on the effort to lose the 15 pounds I gained while starting up my stabilizer. Weighing everything you eat, and passing on everything that isn't easily weighed.... annoying..

[Unrigged64072835]

Food prep is done. Packaged up four rounds of breakfast sausage and picked the game hens from Tuesday. Got two cups of meat from that.

Went to PT. Supposedly they're going to keep increasing the tension until it's half my weight. This ought to be fun. I may gain an inch or two from all the stretching.

Husband and I went to a park with a waterfall. It was running today so we have some cool pictures.

Now waiting for dinner. Will help by cooking veggies.

went to trivia at whoe foods tonight had 6 glasses of wine.
ate off the salad bar.low carb but had 3 maccaroons, delicious!

Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue have flared up badly in the last three days. I am exhausted and in a lot of pain all over my body. Recently I have been over-doing it, a bit hypo so very active. Still, I am amazed I went so long without a flare-up. It is a good sign that those conditions are improving. Six years ago I could barely walk to the beach without crashing. Now I walk there and swim fast for 25 minutes before walking back at least three times a week.

Despite the pain and fatigue I went swimming this morning and then spent a few hours with my sister and nieces and nephews. I am about to play guitar. Pain killers help, and my mood is still good and motivated so I can't lay around much without getting bored. Work was crazy last night and the pain made it hard to sleep much but once I was up and had some meds for it I was eager to get into life. Tonight I will rest though as I have another big day at work tomorrow. Overall, life is good

Gonna take advantage of the new "fast and loose" attitude of America's intelligence community under Trump to organize a reunion for the surviving members of Unit 731 at the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo, which would teach everyone some little-known Japanese history and might begin a new war in Asia. This could coax KJ Un to snap off one of the DPRK's new Chinese-built solid-fuel IRBMs, then use that as an excuse to burn down Yasukuni with the remaining 731s still in it. Stay crazy, my friends.

Going to the Dr in my new comfy socks and underwear. I have big lumps from lovenox- shots they want to look at as they might be infected.

I am growing concerned; restlessness, irritability, talking rather quickly, and being furiously busy.

Feeling pretty low right now. Not depressed, though -- just low.

Something sad happened last night that involved a sui attempt on a friend's part

I blew up at my barista yesterday.

[hopeless2015]

Been up and relaxed while having my coffee. Feeling peaceful right now, for some reason nothing bothers me right now..it's great

[Moose72]

Feeling a bit nauseated and closed-eared again. Haven't felt that im-gonna-faint feeling yet though. I'm at the arcade with my youngest son. He loves it here. Most times he asks I say no but today I said yes.

Been starting to worry I might be crashing. Energy's dropping (still functional, but it feels like the brakes are on) and things are pulling me down more than they should be. The issues I struggle with are starting to reappear. When I'm "up", they just don't bother me the same way. It's all just somehow easier to handle. But they're managing to sneak onto center stage too often again. Within minutes of waking up, tears surged. But I pushed past, blew off the impulse to just go back to sleep and made tea.

I don't know for sure. There's a situational thing that's wearing on me -- yet the same thing was going on before. But it was bringing on more an eye roll response, not palpable sadness. And the feeling it will never get better.

I've got an enormous to do list worked up from the hypo and am determined to work on it. Hopefully this is just a wobble, because I was really getting into being like a relatively normal person.

[hopeless2015]

Spoke too soon about feeling peaceful, that didn't ladt long. My husband said something really hurtful this morning and it's left me reeling. I just want to disappear now.

[Unrigged64072835]

Today was rather strange. I was talking to my neighbor about taking some artwork down from a temporary exhibit at our church. I got confused as to what day she needed help; then she was confused and eventually said she'll do it herself. That kind of bothered me because I wanted to help.

Finished three loads of laundry, and put a set of pictures from Tuesday online. Trying to figure out what to make for dinner. I need to do a set of menus for the week.

How's Latuda working for you? I started mine two weeks ago. Not sure if it's worth all the money it's going to cost. I'm on samples right now but can't always have samples to use. I'm still tired during the day. I take 40mg of Latuda along with lithium 900 mg at night time. I take Lexapro 10mg for antidepressant and Namenda 10mg to prevent side effects.
