Im just catching up with everything that's happened for you, Im so sorry. And Im so sorry about Sid's glucose numbers too! What a shame, you've had such a rough day. Im sending you loads of hugs and positive thoughts. And all you do in your time of need is think about others, you're such a kind hearted, lovely person! ((Covid hasn't got me down too much thank you, I think Im over the worst of the dreaded lurgy! But I have spread it to my fiancé and my sister prior to knowing about having it as they tested positive today and yesterday! )) Anyway, I just want to say I hope things get better for you as soon as possible and that you manage to find a new pdoc! |

So Ive spread my covid germs to my fiancé and to my sister. Eeek! But they're both well and have little symptoms at the moment. My sister is a heavy smoker /vaper though so I'm a little worried.
My mood is still alright, getting there but Im back to feeling very tired. Im hoping that is just the covid and not the hypersomnia. Im having problems with my mum and dad, they're in this totally dysfunctional relationship and only see each other two or three times a year and when they do they fight and fight and fight. Its so toxic and its not good for me to be around either. My dad is home for this week and its just been awful. Im only staying here until we find a new house as we sold our house earlier this year. But its so hard! I really appreciate the fact that they have let me stay with my dog, but they manage to make every moment some complaint about the dog ((he's not that bad, I promise)). Anyway, you are all in my thoughts, especially if you are having a rough time just now. I hope things will get better for you! Thank you so much to you all for all of your support |

I took a nap for the first time since November. I tried a Coke and then realized I just wanted to take a nap. I was actually succesful and slept for about an hour. When I woke up my first thought was "I am confused" because the sun was coming in and my mom was making a lot of noise. It was not a depression nap. The only times I take naps where I am actually succesful is when something is off physically. I'll go for my blood test early in the morning.

Hi BethRags, Sorry for delay. It’s been a weird few days and I tend to isolate. Thank you for asking. There was only one aggressive driver that tailgated me on the way home. It was a good learning experience. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk __________________ ________________ lemictal cymbalta trazedone bipolar I |

That's so frustrating about your pdoc. I have the opposite problem with mine: I ask to go off a med- like Zyprexa- and she says no. Ugh. It takes a big problem on my end to get her to take me off a med. She had upped my Seroquel to 300 last September which dried my eyes and mouth out and gave me 7 cavities at once- I couldn't wear my contacts. It took being IP to get me off the Seroquel. Now I'm on Haldol and it's working just fine. __________________ Ingrezza 80 mg Propranolol 40 mg Benztropine 1 mg Vraylar 1.5 mg, Gabapentin 100 Mania Sept/Oct 2024 Mania (July/August 2024) Mania (December 2023) Mixed episode/Hypomania (September 2023) Depression, Anxiety and Intrusive thoughts (September 2021) Depression & Psychosis (July/August 2021) Mania (April/May 2019) |

Holy cow! I just picked up the tablets and instructions for my ambien. He actually increased it a bit but I’m supposed to cut these tiny little pills in half! They are tiny! I’ve already on my own gone down to 15 mg when he has me on 22.5 mg. Tiny doses changes. This is going to take a long time to get off of!

Tomorrow is my next biopsy. I'm anxious because the last time I had this type of biopsy I felt awful for days. Both doctors think I was coincidentally sick and that what I described isn't normal but it's hard to not be anxious about a repeat. Of course I'm also worried about the results. I do think that is a very normal thing of course.
I just can't wait for my surgery to be done and to move past all of this. 3 biopsies is 3 too many. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD. Clozapine 250 mg, Emsam 12 mg/day patch, topamax 25 mg, ,Gabapentin 1600 mg & 100-2 PRN,. 1.5 mg clonazepam., 75 mg Seroquel and 12.5 mg PRNx2 daily |

Checking in. I’ve just come in from out in the sun. Very pleasant with a nice breeze.
I went out with friends last night for Italian. We enjoyed the pomegranate martinis so much that we retired to the bar for a few drinks and some good camaraderie. A good time was had by all. We had a designated driver and no one was three sheets to the wind. A very relaxing evening. I went to bible study this morning. Good stuff then out to lunch with friends. I was supposed to take brother to the endocrinologist (3rd time trying) but he refused. I’ve tried for another appointment in April. I’m taking him to pain management tomorrow. That he’ll go to. I’m doing okay. My best friend and I get closer and closer and it gets better and better. Strictly best friends but we sure do love each other. It works for us. I’m careful not to cross the line. I made an overture to my daughter. I asked to meet half way this weekend to visit. She said she’d check her schedule. What can I say? A mother’s love. I hope everyone has a peaceful evening.

Nammu, that all sounds like a hairball - especially on a lack of sleep. That pdocs make themselves unavailable, as if they are despots, is infuriating. Has any of the med stuff improved today? Your Latuda, at least? __________________ |

I feel dozey. I didn't get up until 11:30 this morning and now it's only 6 and I could totally take a nap. But I'm also hungry so I think I'll eat dinner and stay up at least another couple hours.
I went out today and put my leftover cash from the trip back into my account. I also checked the mail at my mom's house: her neighbors never got the mail the whole time I was gone! The box was full! Not good. The way the box is, the lid goes up and down so when there's a significant amount of mail in there you can tell nobody's gotten the mail for days and therefore the people who live there might not be home. Off to eat more chicken. I got one of those precooked rotisserie chickens which I rarely do. They're a tad salty but they're a decent meal. __________________ Ingrezza 80 mg Propranolol 40 mg Benztropine 1 mg Vraylar 1.5 mg, Gabapentin 100 Mania Sept/Oct 2024 Mania (July/August 2024) Mania (December 2023) Mixed episode/Hypomania (September 2023) Depression, Anxiety and Intrusive thoughts (September 2021) Depression & Psychosis (July/August 2021) Mania (April/May 2019) |

I can certainly understand why you cancelled. Being at so many doctor appointments can be draining. Ohhh...my therapist used to do that...she'd bring me in late and I'd have my time cut. I used to be so annoyed. One time it built up (after about a year into therapy) and I really went off on her about taking me in (15 minutes late that time) late. I screamed and cried, I was beside myself with frustration. After that, she was never more than a few minutes late. __________________ |

Hi Pinny! I'm glad you've checked in, and hurrah! that the covid hasn't gotten you down too badly. I'm so sorry about your sister and your fiancee, though. Darn covid Starting tomorrow, it may be time to increase Sidney's insulin dose by a teeny bit. Yes, her numbers are being a bit too high, but I have to remind myself that she had 2 full days of excellent numbers. So it is possible. Thank you for mentioning Sid, and for caring __________________ |

Actually he gave me more going up to 22.5 to start then decreasing it by 2.5. It will take 5 months to get off of. But the tablets are going to be a pain to cut in half as they are tiny. I had already put myself down to 15, so I added 7.5 to the rest of the week. For once I’m going to follow instructions and wean off slowly. I usually am in a big hurry to get off but this Shyte is a hard one. We’ll sort of follow instructions. I’m not starting the extra latuda until I’m below 20 mg and saving the prn for bad days as it’s also an AP. The pdoc did good, I jumped to conclusions he actually gave me two bottles. One 10 mg and one 5 mg. Gee I hope I’m making since here? I’m so tired. I can’t wait for bed tonight when I’ll sleep on his dose.

I was up early this morning to do the basic chores and take care of the kitties. Then I decided to take ZzzQuil and sleep. I slept for 5 hours. Much needed. Desperately needed. If I could sleep for the rest of the day and night, i would. But there are things that just have to be done.
Now it's belated shower time. Sending love vibes to each~**~**~* P.S. Sapien, I am very concerned about you. __________________ |

Hi bizi! I’m sorry for the delayed response. I’ve been in a depressive episode for 4 or 5 days now. When my wife and I were coming back from the appointment, we had an aggressive tailgater. That was pretty intense. I try to be positive and optimistic, but I really don’t want to drive again. As it As fate would have it, I’m my wife’s driver tomorrow because she broke her foot yesterday. We both laughed at the irony. She’s doing better today but still has pain . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk __________________ ________________ lemictal cymbalta trazedone bipolar I |
