My normal is coming back...loosing ground

Victoria'smom · Jan 06, 2023 at 09:11 PM

So the meds can't be transferred. We'll see what to do next. I ate 2 meals today. So that is good. It's my first true meal in days. Tonight I am going to take Benadryl to try and sleep.

Victoria'smom · Jan 09, 2023 at 05:34 AM

So the benadryl didn't work and I wanted to take more than the 2 so I didn't bother taking it last night. H wants me to go IP because I broke down last night. I'm going to try one more out patient option that I found. I really don't want to go to the ER because they're more likely to keep me and I'm scared of covid and people. My nephew is coming up. I really don't want my family or his to know I went ip. I don't feel I need IP. Yes I need sleep. Yes my moods all over and I'm hallucinating but I feel it's like throwing a nuke at a disruptive ant hill.

I have an appointment for the 23. My options are to call the crisis team or go to the ER. Or 14 days of this.

So as for me: lutuda seems to be working okay. Still have bugs, still get paranoid of people, and while alone, I'm sleeping, slowed down doing things I never thought I'd do like opening doors to accept deliveries, spending hours by myself with out sh-ing.

H: has pnomonia because of high blood pressure that started heart failure. which made his heart dump water into his lungs. It may be reversible but for now he'll be on a bunch of medication Monday is his estimated home date. He lost 8 lbs of water so far.

Keeping you and your husband in my thoughts. You're doing so well with all this.

Victoria'smom · Jan 12, 2023 at 11:36 PM

Thank you guys. It's been pretty hard on all of us. H is just now doing some reflecting and I think it's hitting him hard. Tomorrow will be the third day home alone which is really hard on me. Miguel does not want to change his diet so we are getting a second small fridge/freezer for us. H's upset he won't change his diet but I told him everything will take time. We all have to process this differently.

I haven't told him but I'm not handling it well. Meal time has always been a contention for us and I hope this wouldn't be as much now. But I don't have faith this will last. I don't know I might be getting depressed. I don't want to deal with this.

I am sorry you are struggling.

He's home, 10 meds. We had 1/2 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. With salt free peanut butter for dinner. I didn't finish my half.

bizi · Jan 14, 2023 at 11:13 PM

He should go to the pharmacy to see if any of these meds interact with others that he is taking or with each other.
Just my opinion.

I think you might benefit from going IP nothing wrong with going in and they just might be able to get you on some medications. This might also fast track you into seeing a pdoc sooner. I wish you the best of luck.

I hope you're able to eat the 350 calories with the Latuda and that it will help.

Victoria'smom · Jan 27, 2023 at 06:57 PM

So far I'm better but still depressed. I have high calorie things to eat so I'm getting the 350 my Dr., Nutritionist, and dentist would not be happy but I have to do something. Mozzarella sticks, brownies, Mac and cheese, ice cream anything to get to that number and not get sick.

Went to the dentist today they have to pull my bottom teeth and replace them with implants. My upper teeth are up for discussion seeing getting the plan for what to do with my mouth probably mid March. I have a wedding to go to April and May. So I don't know what to do about that.

bizi · Jan 27, 2023 at 11:53 PM

I would get a second opinion before going any further. how long have you had problems with your teeth. It sounds like a money racquet to me. What about dentures, way less expensive. I was just at the dentist myself. they wanted to do 8 crowns at about $10K, I said no crowns. I told them no crowns!
I will try to wear my mouth guard more often.

It's a dental school. For a fraction of the cost of a dental clinic. I won't know the full price until the 6-9 hour work up a treatment plan. I have horrible teeth mix between brushing them with baking soda and peroxide (when younger), bulimia, poor hygiene and bad genetics. Most of it will be covered by my medical. In FL they wanted to rip them all out and give me dentures. I'm not even 40 yet. So if they can save some great if not at least it's several Drs opinions. They said the whole thing for my bottoms should cost around 2k that my insurance doesn't cover. I think we're going to get the treatment plan then sit down and figure out what to do. At this point I can't eat hard foods, cold foods or hot foods. I'm actually hopeful. A lot of my safety food I can't eat like fruit and raw vegetables. Baby carrots. So if my teeth stop breaking and I can eat healthier it'll be great. I'm not really worried about them over selling because I don't have money if it's to expensive I just get what medical will pay.
