HI ALL!!!


I know I haven't been around. I have been busy,busy,busy. We are all set to leave in June and there is so much to do in such a little time. I am holding my own as far as the Bi-Polar is concerned. I saw my Pdoc this week, who wanted very much to talk to my DH. He called here looking for him,and they talked for about 10 minutes. So, maybe I am not doing as well as I thought. LOL He increased my Lamictal and finally took me off of the Neurontin. HOORAY for me. I had to fight for that one,but I won.


Have a wonderful weekend, and a Happy Valentine's Day.


Love and hugs to all,

Cyn,


You must be a mind reader--I was just thinking of you!


Did your pdoc or dH say why the need for the conversation?

Hi Kristen,


I am doing reasonably well. We are still tinkering with my meds but that is just par for the course of having Bi-polar. I have been manic more than usual,but I am using that to my advantage. When life gives you lemons.......


How are you doing?


Take care.

Hi Marci,


I know why he called. I have been more manic than anything else,and he is concerned. Personally if I can't be normal I would rather be manic than depressed. Like I told Kristen,I am using it to my advantage. I told him everything my husband said so he didn't learn anything new. Just wanted input from someone who is around me more than a hour once a month. He is really the best person to be getting input from. He knows my moods better than I do. Since we have moved here he is paying more and more attention to my many mood swings. He is doing what he can to be there. Even though sometimes he has been in the middle of the tornado and got a lashing for it. I feel bad for doing it because he does so much for me. It isn't fair to him,and if I could change one thing about this dreaded Bi-Polar it would be how I treat him when I am full blown manic and angry. That is something I am working on, but it is slow going.


How are you doing lately?


Take care.
