I am deeply depressed today. These episodes are rare, thankfully, but they creep up and knock me on my *****. The first indication is wanting to sleep a lot. The second is overeating. I am just filled with dread. It goes from zero to suicidal in no time flat. I don’t know where this came from. I will call my NP today to see about adding a medication to help me out. This is a bad time for me to have this happen. Couldn’t be worse.
I hope everyone has a peaceful day. Hugs to all!

The kidney doctor was uneventful. He was just like "blah blah urine collection shows your level is better then your kidney blood level so theres no need for a biopsy blah blah." Or it could be just increased muscle mass from the testosterone despite the fact I'm wearing a size small mens button shirt so there is no muscle anywhere on me. Anyways he just said come back in 6 months, do blood work a week before. He is not the doctor I need to worry about. That would be my blood doctor and my endocronologist who are always finding stuff.
And anyone who says "Namoi Judd couldn't wait a few hours until she was inducted into the country music hall of fame with her daughter?" can absolutley go **** themselves because they have no idea what mental illness can do to someone. __________________ I'm Blue Last edited by Mountaindewed; May 02, 2022 at 11:51 AM.. |

Oo I have great cramping stitches of pain when I move or try to walk. Sometimes doubling over when I move. Canceled aqua fitness this morning. Pretty sure this is the same thing I had before. There a great big Latin name for it. I have my annual appointment with my doctor on Thursday. If it’s still an issue then I’ll talk to him. Came up suddenly last night while I was cooking. Was able to sleep though. Seems better now.

Got a haircut today. I need to look decent for the service on Saturday. Been an OK day,nothing too exciting. I got the drug screening debacle taken care of -- had to essentially deliver it myself but I was able to email/scan it rather than drive 1.5 hours to get it turned in. Honestly their office drives me insane. How is it they have a "fax person"... can no one else pick up a received fax? Or send one? -- they never seem to receive or able to send anything. At least it's in my chart and it means when I see my psychiatrist tomorrow (pushing it aren't we? I took the test the 12th and I've been trying to get this to them since...) I can get my medicine.
I asked my nurse practitioner friend about my drug test results because I was very shocked to see negative for all substances. Adderall, an amphetamine, I assumed should show up on the test (I've never seen the results before on one of these). He explained the cuttoff on my test is rather high and showed me even some scholarly studies that show that on routine drug testing it doesn't show up but a little more than half the time in individuals at my dosage. Essentially, the test is to make sure I'm not abusing anything (not a high level in my system). That makes enough sense to me I guess. I feel like doing something creative today. I may play some piano. __________________

I'm still not thinking straight. Last night I sent an email to (I thought) my pdoc which referenced some discussions we've had during this breast mess and requesting a refill of a psych med. Too bad I sent it to my breast surgeon......They were nice but a little confused. I talk to her tomorrow so I guess I can explain then. So embarrassed. It could have been worse though. I do know that. I just need to double-check what I'm doing.

Hugs, @Jennifer 1967. Please do call your NP, if you haven't already. You must keep yourself safe. I'm sorry you've been struggling for quite a while. You will get past this hard period with time. I hope any medication increase makes a difference, quickly. Have you seen or talked with your daughter, lately? If not, I'm sure she'd love a chat. You know she loves you very much. __________________ Dx: Bipolar type 1 Psych Medications: * Tegretol XR (carbamazepine ER) 800 mg * Lamictal (lamotrigine) 150 mg * Seroquel XR (quetiapine ER) 600 mg I also take meds for blood pressure, cholesterol, and tachycardia. |

I had a telehealth appointment with my NP. She put me on Wellbutrin and said I should feel better within a week. I’m glad she could see me today. She asked me to do one task today as well. I can’t do the task she requested but I have completed a task. It was of some help.
I did text my daughter to talk soon. Great idea Soupe du jour! Hopefully this passes quickly. |

Yay! That's heart-warming. I bet they'll soon become best buds. I DREAD the 4th of July. It's way out of control around here and the cats get terrified. My old guy, it's pitiful how frightened he becomes. 2 years ago I came perilously close to getting into a physical fight with a woman down the street because she and her crowd were setting off bottle rockets. I was afraid Solomon (old guy) was going to have a heart attack. Also, my husband is a Vietnam vet and the booms cause him all sorts of trouble. I hate that people aren't more aware. __________________ |

I got two or 3 proofs today and/or requested. Now I need a letter from my dentist- not sure what it should say besides what I had done. I see my pdoc's office case manager on Wednesday. I hope that's productive! Not much more going on besides this paperwork. I went to the social security office this morning. Set my alarm, got a shower and got there 20 minutes before they opened and waited only 10 minutes from walking in the door to walking out! I wasn't even sure that they'd be open but they now only allow 12 people in at a time. I feel I'm making progress but I still worry because I need a letter from the IRS that I somehow got last year but don't remember how. I'll pay attention this year. It's one of the things that I'm really hoping my case manager can help with ( Sorry if I'm repeating myself. I sometimes have a hard time remembering what I've said.)

I’m much better now, I had a bottle of Pepsi and I think the carbonation helped. Just a little twinge left. Gee I should have thought of that last night, but I don’t always drink soda. I really thought it was what I had before but nope, I think just bad gas. :embarrassed:
