DO NOT STOP THE LITHIUM!!!! That would not help you at all!! Don't mess with your meds at all right now. 99% of the problem is a combination of withdrawl and stress from your family. You WILL BE ok! I promise.
I have a meeting now, but I will write more later.
I'm glad you won't just stop the lithium. REMEMBER THE POWER OF POSITIVE THOUGHT!!!! You are FINE!
Too bad if your brother is sick. Make him leave anyway. They can clean that trailer while they are living in it - and if they are living there it will make them even more ambitious to clean. Get them out of your house before it causes extra problems for you.
Email me the address and I will mail you a personal letter to it :) Or I can send you a brochure from work :) Whatever will help you :)
Hang in there, you are going to be ok!!! And remember - you are SO CUTE!!!!!
See - you are sounding better already :) Just keep in mind the icky stuff is just all temporary symptoms of the wd.
I have made it pretty clear to Mike that I want October. He was surprised, but isn't freaked about it....I think we'll have a bit more conversation about it tonight Of course, I was being a brat when he called because he wanted to let me know he was going to the pool! LOL Hotter then heck here - 96 with a heat index of over 105. BLAH! Everything else in regards to Mike are awesome. The hickey has finally almost faded - thank GOD. We went to the casino last night to buy some cigarettes for him and each threw $5 in a machine - and cashed out a total of $60. Good thing too - we needed it for rent. Also went to an "adult" store and bought some fun stuff
Mom is still ticking me off. I have to go there tonight to get my hair cut. Blah! But I'll get it done so I look even better and then go home to my sweety. Savannah is mad at me because she wanted to come home with me tonight and I told her no.
I went to the dr for a follow up on my "behind" infection. Seems like the primary infection is settling down but a 2nd one has popped up, some type of fungal infection. How fun! SO, I had to stop the steroid (and the dr was impressed I only gained 2 lbs on the steroid), finish the antibiotic, stop putting aloe vera on it (thinks it could have caused the fungal infection), and gave me an rx for a topical cream to apply 2x a day for 30 days (even after it goes away), the same med but in pill form to take 1x a day for 30 days, and zyrtec. ALSO, I had to make an appt with a dermatologist in case it isn't gone next week. Unfortunately, I can't get in to see the dermatologist until the 16th, and my insurance doesn't cover zyrtec for anyone over the age of 5, so I have to see what she wants me to take instead. Pretty funny. Was nice though - Mike has now started applying the cream for me
Always fun, right? I have to get some stuff done, but I'll talk to you more later :) Hang in there!!!!
Yeah, I'm fine...this icky stuff will go away soon enough...Jane (my pdoc) said it shouldn't last much longer and that she's only seen a case or two that's lasted this long.
