its the certified professional coding exam and if i pass i will be a AAPC certified medical coder. the easiest way i know how to describe it is that every illness, procedure/service given, and medical equipment used in healthcare has an alphanumerical code. i will be reading medical documentation and assigning the correct code to bill patient's insurance companies

![]() The story behind my bipolar symptoms: I was having panic attacks and the first line of defense for panic attacks are ssri's like Celexa. They put me on them and I started to have road rage and it numbed me down so me and my doctor had a heated exchange and he put me on a different ssri. Anyway, after awhile I started to feel extreme agitation for hours on end, it was rage. I thought I was just in a bad mood for some reason but it kept on happening and then I started to have acute depression where I wanted to kill myself immediately. It was the most severe, acute depression I have ever felt in my life. I called my doctor's office in a panic and he responded quickly, asking me questions such as if I'm having racing thoughts, have you been feeling euphoric or agitated etc... While waiting to get my meds I would then start to rapid cycle between rage and depression, crying and then feeling angry simultaneously and then cycle and it was just a mess. I was put on lithium and in a few days, because it works so quickly, I was stabilized. My doctor then said that my diagnosis should be schizoaffective from henceforth. While on Lithium he slowly titrated me on a better mood stabilizer called lamictal. You have to do that slowly because you can get a lethal rash. The titrating took two months to work my way up to 300mgs on Lamictal. I asked my doctor why 300mgs when the typical bipolar dosage is 200mgs. My doctor said that he's seen too many under-medicated patients around the hospital and that 300 is safer. So I was slowly taken off the lithium and boom!-- I started to rapid cycle again, even though I was on 300mgs of lamictal. So I was put back on lithium and I was titrated up to 375 of lamictal and then taken off lithium once again and I was stabilized on lamictal for about two years. Once your stabilized on a mood stabilzer then you can be put on a ssri AD, but both mood stabilizers helpd with my panic attacks. Lamictal wasn't a bad drug. It works as a mild antidepressant too and doesn't numb you all the way either. I still felt pressure which helps motivation. However, even though it's weight neutral I did gain a few pounds when I was on it. Also, it made me pee constantly. But those were the only side effects besides a mild emotional numbing--nothing compared to the numbing of the ssri. For the past two months I have been off lamictal with great success. My hypothesis: I believe the AD triggered my biological predisposition towards bipolar symptoms and it sent me into a frenzy and it took a me a very long time for my brain to find an equilibrium after the chemical warfare the AD wreaked on my brain. If you have bipolar predispositions you will start to have mood swings too and what comes up must come down and you might rapid cycle and it could get ugly. |

Uhm, something similar happened to me twice, the first time I was a teen and I was put on seroquel since they said it had mood stabilizer proprieties, and the second time I was put on valproate. (First time the AD was paxil and the second time it was Zoloft) I think AD broke my brain and that's why my mood is funny now. But I guess I can't take it seriously unless I get the horrible rage-agitation again, I just feel everything it is funny, even the SH random urges. I force myself to sleep at least 5h a day with hydroxyzine and pregabaline, I know sleep deprivation makes things really scaring and turn them bad bad bad. I felt really drained while I was taking valproate. I try to keep my brain together over anything to avoid being forced into medication. I must stay non totally crazy.

Welp, I'm going to do some major grovery shopping that I hope will last me two weeks because from the 14th to the 1st of September I will be working with no breaks probably. I also need to grab a pretty big lunch box that will hold beers and other goodies in it for snack breaks. I'll probably be working 11.5 hour days so I wont get to chat with you guys much during this time.

So I put a bunch of audio books on my phone's SD card. The whole Ender's Game Series. Some BBC Shakespeare, and SP, you're going to kill me, but The Wise Man's Fears by Patrick Rothfuss. I got through a couple hundred pages through the book but it didn't grab me. The audiobook is pretty nice though. The voice of the man speaking does a very nice job.
![]() Now I just need to make a ton of playlists to share my music over the speaker with my work mates when its my turn to have a go at it. This weekend I'm going to be playing a lot of Mass Effect I hope ![]() Anyone know any good podcasts that are really entertaining? I need to prepare for this 2 week long work fest. I need all the entertainment I can think of for my phone! |

![]() I googled hydroxyzine ages ago because I kept hearing about it on PC for anxiety, but we don't prescribe it in the UK as the NHS doesn't consider it efficient for anxiety. I'm not sure about its effects on sleep though. Quote:

It lowers your adrenaline, which tends to be high during hyper states like anxiety, hypomania, flashbacks, ... High adrenaline makes it impossible to sleep
