Happy Birthday Scooter!
![]() I'm doing pretty well. I'm studying for an anatomy and physiology midterm. I've decided that I am going to do a practical nursing program. It's 2.5 years and would start January 2020. It's a hybrid course. You do the labs on campus and the lectures are presented in a Skype-like format. You log on at home at a specific time. I'm excited and nervous.

Yesterday I physically crashed. The Fibromyalgia hit me hard so I laid low most of the day, sleeping and watching TV. My mood was also very low. I felt very self-destructive and agitated. This seems to be swinging one day on, one day off. This morning I managed a walk to the beach and a brief swim. So far no major repercussions. I am hoping my body has bounced back but will have to be careful. I have a very busy week ahead so I need to study a little and rest the remainder of the day.

I have severely, severely hurt my back this time. It keeps going into excruciating spasms. I sat in urgent care yesterday and got a shot of toradol and that helped minimally. This morning it sparked and my legs went numb and gave out on me. I went to the ER where of course they didn’t do ****, they gave me an X-ray and some Percocet and called it a day. And the Percocet isn’t even touching the pain. I’ve been stuck in bed al day. I can’t stand or walk for more than a couple of minutes.
I don’t know what I’m going to do. I might have to go out on disability from my job. I certainly can’t work like this. If it wouldn’t spasm I might be able to deal with it but the spasms are severe. I’ve never been in so much pain in my life. I’m a little scared at the leg numbness. The Er doc didn’t seem concerned at all. Even though on the paper they gave me it says return immediately if you have tingling in your legs. ***.

Numbness in your legs is not a good sign. Would your PCP take you more seriously and refer you to a specialist?

It has been 25 years since I was diagnosed with bipolar 1. A lot has changed since then.
I got married to the love of my life. I am a nurse. Own and operate a foot care practice. Own a home(rather the bank does until we pay it off in about 7 years). By then we will be debt free. That is a good feeling. Hopefully, I will still have a job. Just wanted to share. bizi

I think I have finally weaned myself of olanzapine that I was taking to stabilize my sleep. Last night I slept until past 6 and then dozed until 7. Hoping for another good night tonight. Olanzapine makes me groggy and messes with my sugar levels and other metabolic parameters so I don't like to take it. I was down to 1.25 mg and then finally made the jump to 0. Fingers crossed.

It’s often good to get stuff out of your head. We can all relate. No matter how instignificant you might think it is.

You are making fantastic plans one the add another! Good for you. My rheumatologist recommends swimming as my exercise as it won’t cause further damage my joints , yeah ooooook , closets pool is over an hour away so feasible maybe once a month when I factor in gas costs. The meditation sounds wonderful. Pat yourself on the back for making such strides to help your self. I hope you can find out a better understanding of your label, so you are able to make the best choices for treatment. ![]()
