It's too quiet........Check In Please
| Wed, 08-02-2006 - 11:46am |
Hi everyone. You all have been so quiet the past few days. Please check in and let us know how you are doing.
Traci - Northern Virginia........it's HOT HOT HOT! So I'm staying in the a/c as much as I can. Mood is ok. Worried about a health issue though. I go to the doctor tomorrow to get it checked out.

Hello all! I'm mostly a lurker, posted a couple of times about BPD/cyclothymia. It's hot here too. I'm inside working, but need to go to the store later to get groceries, my least favorite thing to do.
Have a good Wednesday!

I'm doing pretty well (at least from a mood perspective). My "antsiness" is pretty well gone. I haven't even been taking any xanax the last few days. The bad news is that I hurt my back and I'm home today. I had neck (upper back) problems a couple years ago and this is the very same place. I was drying my hair on Sunday and when I tilted my head back I had a sharp shooting pain. The doc gave me some pain pills but they only take the edge off. I don't know why he didn't give me any muscle relaxers. I'm thinking of calling to ask for some but I don't want to sound like a druggie. The nurse already looks at me funny when I tell her what medication I'm on. She had never heard of Lamictal. She wanted to know who gave them to me, what they were for, and how often I saw that doctor. *sighs* I guess she needs to know all that but I didn't see her writing any of it down. Anyhow, I'm hoping a day on the heating pad will improve my condition. Last time I ended up with 3 months of physical therapy.

I'm here. Today's an okay day.
I've had some moderate mood fluctuations the last few weeks, but so far not severe.
Donna in southeast Wisconsin...still hot hot hot here too !!

Howdy!
Peg from eastern PA checking in.
Hanging in...Monday I woke up totally out of the depression I was in...yeah!! Then I was trying to figure out if I was ok or too ok, ya know? I posed that to tdoc on Wed. and she told me to not even think in those terms (meaning don't dwell on it kind of thing, but by the end of the session she says "it sounds like you are manic). Well, I'm heading toward too ok. Which is good, and bad. It's better than depressed and it's nice to be goal oriented since school is starting soon and I need to start planning lessons, etc., but, it's not totally the good I'm used to. It's still a little mixed- or agitated, or dysphoric, or something, which I hate. I just feel like I need to go, move, do something. I'm a little restless. I'm stressing dh out- who already threatened to call tdoc and tell her to admit me (which he has NEVER done before). Needless to say, I don't think the topamax is doing much for me, except causing my eye to hurt (unless that is psychosomatic or due to something else- I'll find out tomorrow when I go to the eye doctor). Tdoc is annoyed that pdoc still has me on an a/d- she wants him to take me off of them. She also seems annoyed with his choice of mood stabilizers (she did not come out and say this, but I kind of got the hint). Soooo, I'll see what pdoc has to say next week when I go for my med check. I'm still only on 50mg so he may just say that I'm not at a high enough dose...or, hello, maybe it's not a good choice for me?! (it's the flavor of the month I think...)
SO, all in all, things are going pretty well. As long as I don't get myself into too much trouble, over the next few months, I'll be ok (I'm notorious for being hypo/manic at the start of the school year through about the beginning of Dec.).
Hugs to all!!

Jo here from South Central PA.

Hi! It's terribly hot here in Tennessee too! The pool we go to feels like bath water...yuck! I've been doing okay. Just a so-so mood. I'm hoping to get better soon. Hope everyone else is doing good!
