Oh. meh - if the guy isn't handling your meds well, find a new prescriber. I prefer going to bed early, too. My husband comes to life at 9p.m., right when I'm getting really sleepy. He's an all-nighter, I'm not. One of the reasons we don't live together. __________________ |

My spring-green bamboo blanket, which due to a bunch of hassle won't cost me anything, is finally out for delivery!

I finally relented and ordered mens leather sandals. I much prefer their sandals to woman’s. My last pair lasted me about 12 years and I wore them all the time in Texas. In Minnesota I mostly wear crocs. But they are hot in the summer. So I found a pair of leather sandals on a try before you buy option. __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

I took Depakote a couple years ago. I had no initial side effects and it seemed to help a bit. I wasn’t able to stay in it. But I will say it was weight neutral. Hope it helps you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

The heat and humidity are shockingly high here too. We jumped from 40’s and 50’s to 90’s with humid conditions. Thank goodness for AC. This is August weather.

So I have this eating problem and wondering if anyone here has ever heard of what this is? I get spasms in my esophagus sometimes when I eat and it is so painful. Sometimes I throw up but mostly it’s just painful. My drs have done a bunch of tests and said there’s more tests they can do but have ruled out a lot. It seems worse when I go a long time without eating. Like today all I ate was cereal this morning then for supper I had Chinese food. I did get general Tso’s so maybe spicy is a trigger? It’s just so painful and tonight it lasted for for a while. I can go weeks and be fine then this. I don’t really want to undergo some of the tests they’ve brought up. Has anyone heard of this?

I'll think about it and see if I remember any more from training years ago. My aunt has esophageal spasms but I think that's a non-specific diagnosis that she doesn't want to get checked out more, probably because you're right, the procedures aren't fun. On the other hand a procedure that tells you what is wrong might be worth some discomfort? It sounds awful. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD.

Well I slept from 3am until about 5:30. It seems like every other day I must take seroquel in addition to my regular meds. I fight against it because I’m so groggy upon waking but I can feel a little bit of a rise in energy and my thoughts are racing a bit as well. Sleep is key, I can’T risk my stability so soon!
