We’re leaving at this ungodly hour of 3:30 CST to make it to a rehearsal dinner and then a wedding tomorrow and then we’ll leave from the wedding to come back down. I guess it’s about a 7 hour trip.

There’s not enough coffee or Red Bull in the world to make this trip interesting and I’ll need to stay awake to see that the driver does. Man do I feel rough right now.

Warm wishes and a peaceful day to all.

Good luck with the rehearsal dinner! 7 hours is a long trip for sure. I hope the wedding makes up for the long trip.

I am still alive. Honest! Anyway, I have been staying up all night. This started at least a couple weeks ago. Wonderful. I will exercise today, for I have gained too much weight. I need to lose 5 pounds. I do not want to have to get another new wardrobe. I have been cleaning my antique firearms, They are anywhere from 150 to 250 years old. Looking at them can cheer me up. I have been doing nothing at all. My place is worse than it has been for a long time. What a mess! I am going to have to do something about it. I hope I follow through on this thought of mine. Perhaps I can clean the kitchen, and pick up all of my clothes everywhere.

I'm so glad it's Friday. The days have just drug on and on this week. Pdoc appointment Monday morning, six month check in. This is the longest stretch I've been on between appointments since dx in 2015..seems to be just fine though. I really like this doc too.

I was supposed to go to my cousin’s viewing today but I went to the dr first for my sunburn. It blistered up and scabbed over and developed red spots around it. Obviously it is infected. My dr freaked out and sent me to the ER so I had to miss the viewing. Thankfully I only spent an hour there and got sent home with antibiotics and a cream to put on. It’s just as well. Not sure if I could have handled yet another funeral.

Not sure if I mentioned this but we have decided to move in two weeks, as soon as my son is done school. I am excited but also nervous because I need to get a lot of school work done before then. I’m going to start on it this weekend. Both assignments are really involved. One is supposed to be 10-15 pages I haven’t written a paper that long since undergrad. I best get started now!

I’m also broke as a damn joke. I had to transfer $50 from my savings for gas and I had to pay both my dr copays and Er copays. That should leave me with about $25 come Monday. We’re making fajitas at home tonight and we have breakfast and lunch available in the house for Saturday and Sunday and Sunday I have a small ham that I’m going to cook. So we only need to figure out dinner on Saturday. But I have to buy cat food which is another eight dollars. Damn. I haven’t been this broke in a long time. But I need to get used to it. Rent is gonna suck me dry. It’s worth it though to finally be in my own house with my love.

I'm very tired today and have a pounding headache. Got the results of my liver fibroscan. I have a mild to moderately fatty liver but no scarring or cirrhosis. Got the cholesterol results back too. Very good numbers for HDL (good cholesterol), a bit on the high range for LDL (bad cholesterol) and total cholesterol higher than desired, but they use some ratio and calculate the cardiac risk at 0.2%. So who knows? I already exercise, and I don't eat horribly. Even if the ED tells me otherwise, I know I don't have weight to lose. Pdoc said Seroquel likely caused the fatty liver, but my GI doc is doing a research study to see if there is a link between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (which I have) and stomach ulcers. So maybe there is more than one thing contributing in my case.

Medically I'm a wreck and the prior authorizations are not going through fast enough. Monday I have to call drs across the bridge because no gi place here will take me. It's just a mess. ED is out of control. I'm trying though.

I just can't stop sleeping. I got up and was going to shower but I went back to sleep. Three hours later, I got up and did shower and ate lunch. Then I fell back asleep. Now its 7:30 almost and I'm at Starbucks but I feel antsy.

Ugh I’m so sorry you have to wait so long to see your doctor.

Trying to keep myself busy while restricted by physical illnesses. Tried to get my Geodon script today but my pdoc didn’t make it an authority script so I would have to pay $250 instead of $6.50. Luckily I have a more recent script that is an authority script. I should have checked. They don’t have it in stock anyway so I have to wait till Monday. I have enough to last me.


Sorry for my boring updates. Not much happening here and I’m so bored. Posting here helps.


Why is it that pharmacies never have Geodon? Every time I fill my script they give me a couple of days worth and tell me to come back for the rest. It’s super annoying

I saw my GP today and asked for a referral to a new PDoc. She’s a bit of a drive away but I hear she’s amazing and my current pdoc is really frustrating me. I feel like a guinea pig. He keeps adjusting my meds. And now he’s taking me off of cipralex for a new drug and cipralex is the only thing that’s ever helped my anxiety so my anxiety is currently sky rocketing. I’ve been off work since March and am asking for a new department when I go back. Pdoc says he will give me a note but the entire thing is stressing me out. If I go back to my previous job I WILL have another breakdown. It’s just a matter of when. I’m written off until the end of June and see pdoc on June 14 so I’m hoping to know more soon. I just want to cry

I am feeling like I am going to crash. My energy level over the past week started out as high. I have been more social and active, but some of my impulsive past patterns have been coming back. Now, I feel I just want to hide and stay by myself. But I feel pressure from people now to be that "fun person" that comes out once in a while. I don't know if I am making sense. I feel in over my head and want to just turn off my cellphone and stay at home. Plus, I am trying to keep up with work, and it is getting exhausting. It is a new job, and my perfectionist trait is causing me to have extreme anxiety. I see my pdoc next week, so at least there's that. I don't really know what the solution is though.
