well my son comes home tomorrow. they increased his Lithium from 300 in the evening to 600 and he now has a therapist.

Today I got really bad news. I had an appt. with my gyn to get my premarin filled and they found a lump in my breast. they wanted me to come in friday to have a needle biopsy done but i have my remicaide treatment so i go in on monday to have a needle biopsy done. at the same time i have to have a boil drained. she made me promise that if boil got bigger i would go to the ER to have it drained. and she gave me an antiobiotic.

anyone with any experience on either one of those i'd greatly appreciate it.

Don't let this worry you Robin. There could be a ton of reasons why you have a lump in your breast, and 99% of them are harmless. Before I started taking birth control pills, I had that happen to me - painful but harmless. Hormones can do it. So don't worry yet- it's probably nothing harmful.

Oops, I should have thought of that--sorry! Thanks for letting Robin know about that resource, Cindi! Take care, Lori
