seeing my heartsister in mid december

chucking everything into the "f"it bucket I'm fine...

still having these despite the recent increase of the seroquel. had two last sunday, havent had more than one in a 24 hr period since that awful episode in August. not sure what the target dose is supposed to be- dr won't tell me. makes me worried he's using "therapeutic privilege" to keep info...

my heart-sister gets SAD bad. using sun lamps and taking Vit D has been helpful. if you can set up a room or space in your home with sun lamps and a lounge chair and make it bright and sunny and tropical. drink lemonade with little umbrellas. might help :)

I'm still wavering on whether or not to stay on Seroquel. Ppl around say they've noticed some improvement including my T, says I was deer in headlights again this past Tuesday after being off two days, had noticed much calmer week prior (after about two months on and titrating up). Jury still...

Friend I trust who is an Rn (one who gave advice to push fluids and Benadryl every 4-6hrs, big improvement!!!) thinks that the jump to 200 was too fast. Doesn't understand why they went so slow with the 50 (six weeks) then a one week jump to 200. Suggests I restart the Seroquel today (skipped...

His nurse finally called today. He's out of office this week. Wants me in next Monday. Is leaning towards giving the Seroquel a pass, suggested that a recent surgery may have damaged nerves or something and it could be a come and go episode sort of thing so they may want to order an MRI ... Um...

they did a ct scan and said it was clear , did some neuro function test and said something about rating a +2, knees reacted to reflex test but not soles of feet or to pinprick. they also tested clotting factors- mine were in fast normal range

Home from ER Got worse after earlier post. Couldn't feel legs other than some random jolts and a sort of low electric current thing. Then arms felt funny. Then face...earlier kept feeling like something crawling on it. Later sort of novacaine numb. Was slurring words. Called 24 hr Ask A Nurse in...

stopping it right now. can't walk. over past few days have had weird sensation in legs after day dosage. took it about an hour ago and had to get up to use bathroom and its like my legs arent even there, cant feel them, moving in weird way. Im done with this .

I read it as an in the background plan, a failsafe tucked away in case everything goes to hell in a handbasket. Not something actively being considered or attempted, but just knowing you have a way out. I have three. One I actually purchased and have set aside what I need to do it. It's...

finally messaged my dr. took a while to compose. having trouble writing and typing. words get mixed up, misspelled. sent through online system bc I feel like I needed documentation ___________________________________________ have some questions/concerns you said "two or three steps up to...

We have talked about the xr, he didn't seem to think it would be more beneficial. Cost is also a factor. I'm self pay. Yesterday wasfirst day on 200,had me doing 100 for five days then up to this.I'm back to splitting headaches, nausea, weird handwriting, massive brain fog and sleepiness and...

Thank you BlackEmerald for the suggestions. I finally found a T to talk to, it's an hour's travel plus tolls she's not licensed yet, located through Open Path. Trauma and PTSD specialty, trained for EMDR if we decide eventually to try that. But it's a step forward. What were often told by law...

I'd be happy to consult with a p doc if we could find one. He's tried for months to get me a referral and they keep coming up empty. Everyone we've contacted is either not taking new patients or won't take self pay. The community services group has nothing available for three to four months...
