I went by my NP’s office to get some samples of Vraylar and she had drawn me a pretty picture of a field with flowers on the bag. I thought that was a nice touch. She has also called to check on me with this med change twice. I’m still feeling things out.
I can barely see out of my right eye and I just got new contacts. Has anybody here had experience with cataracts? It seems to me that 52 is young for that kind of thing. I sincerely hope that’s all it is. Going to call a doctor about it tomorrow. It worries me. Hugs to all. |

52 does seem young for it. I'm 60 and there's just a beginning of cataracts and the eye dr told me I don't have to worry yet. My oldest sister just had her first surgery at 71, and I think mum was in her 70's when she had her first surgery. My other sister is in her 60's and hasn't said anything.

I think it’s very important to have a T regardless of being up or down, you need someone face to face that you can say exactly how you feel to them and never judgement.

Was there a sudden loss of vision or has it been more gradual???? I worked for a cataract surgeon for almost 5 years I saw young kids and teens get them from trauma, young adults get them virtually anyone over age 40 has a slight haze to the lens of the eye. It’s not that uncommon to need surgery 40-50 and up of course. I want a cute picture next time my GP gives me samples lol Hugs! __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

That is such a sweet gesture by your NP I'd probably die of a heart attack if my psychiatrist did something like that for me. Actually, he's sweet, but in a more subtle way. My husband has had cataracts surgery on both of his eyes. I don't know what age he was when he had his first one, but he was somewhere around 52 when he had his second one. I know because I drove him to/from the second one. All I can say is that my husband has other serious issues with his eyes. He's not blind, but is a regular patient at Will's Eye Hospital in Philly. That surely doesn't apply to you, though. Actually, I have no idea if his cataracts are related to his other eye conditions. If you have a cataracts surgery, be sure to let the doctor know if anything seems amiss afterwards. His first cataracts surgery was a great success. His second was a bit problematic. Eye health is obviously very very important. |

I've been better the last few days and seem to have gotten better. I was surprised though when I opened my clozapine labs to find my white blood count was still abnormally high 4 plus weeks after getting sick and after completing 2 rounds of antibiotics. I've had lots of clozapine labs done in 3 years and even when I've been sick I've never had a white count in the high range; it's always just high normal when I'm sick. So now I have proof I've been really sick and I sent the information to my NP since those labs go to my pdoc at a different hospital. I am really surprised; I thought it might be higher but not over the high limit. I have a hard time trusting myself that I'm really sick and I guess now I have to believe myself.
So glad this is ending. I hope. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD. Clozapine 250 mg, Emsam 12 mg/day patch, topamax 25 mg, ,Gabapentin 1700 mg & 100-2 PRN,. 1.5 mg clonazepam., 50 mg Seroquel |

I wonder about the cause? I have a slight cataract in one eye and was told it's not unusual for someone in her 50's. I don't know if the doctor telling me that is correct or not? I hope you discover the cause of your vision issue an I hope it's an easy fix!

You have been ill for quite some time now! I am glad the labs not only validate your experience, but also motivate your care providers to do more... if they might be able to help, somehow? I think of you daily and feel so badly about your continued illness. Thanks so much for your update!

Must be bifocal or progressive lenses? I'd ha a difficult time getting use to my first bifocals/transitions glasses. It is time for new ones. It has only been a year and I already need new lenses.

I've had a very long day. Very productive, too, thankfully.
Felt very sad that I was not more available for a very special friend today. I had a visit with my PC provider. Lots of "conditions" to manage, yet could be worse. I am very weary, but also a bit jazzed. : Wired is more like it. My body is "jumping again" for not enough sleep. Maybe I will sleep more tonight!? I mean: I fully intend to enJOY a Restful, Peaceful, refreshing sleep tonight!! So be it!!! __________________ May we each fully claim the courage to live from our hearts, to allow Love, Faith and Hope to enLighten our paths. |

I wear my reading glasses while reading in bed. Initially, I'd had trouble using progressive lenses with my laptop, too. I'd then learned to move the laptop further away from me.

Wild Coyote, I hope you and everyone else will get a good night's sleep. Just your intent is a helpful step. Though it doesn't always work, sometimes I have good success just turning all lights off (I love total darkness) and saying "You are going to go to sleep now." Then I try to think of nothingness. Not in a bad or scary sense. Just consciously turn my thinking off. I challenge myself to not think. Moments pass, and very often...

Yes, I, too, think clear intentions can be helpful. While clear intention is a piece of the puzzle, it may not be adequate for all of the contributing factors, at times. However, I think clear intention(s) can be quite powerful!!! __________________ May we each fully claim the courage to live from our hearts, to allow Love, Faith and Hope to enLighten our paths. |

Hi all and update from me today. Worked from home today; it was either that or show up to the office in a pair of scrubs and I didn't think my boss would like that to much. So I worked from my couch; and had four worried animals watching over me. R brings over Bear sometimes so he isn't alone in the house and he has other animals to play with. Shep (German Shepherd) would walk beside me if I had to get off the couch for anything; I guess he was worried I was going to fall or something. I appreciated him walking beside me making sure I was okay. I enjoy working from home on occasion; I also talked to my boss and I also get to work from home tomorrow too. The meds are working but it still hurts to put much weight on that knee.
M and I really are a pair with his back and my knee. __________________ Generalized Anxiety Disorder Depression Symptoms of PTSD Trintellix 10mg once daily Buspar 10mg three times daily |
