Isn’t he still under age 18 ? If so don’t you feel as a parent that forcing him to truly get into a safe place is more important than his protests?? I don't want him to reach out and be rejected. He seems a little better today but is asking a lot of questions about my hospital stays.
What’s his logic about waiting until his pills are out ?? Is he going to stop taking them , again? He's waiting until he's on the medication for a month because it takes awhile to get into his system but he's been on it before and it it doesn't seem to help enough. He says he has no plans because that's work. We're calling his therapist and pdoc tomorrow. __________________ Dx: Me- SzA Husband- Bipolar 1 Daughter- mood disorder+ Comfortable broken and happy "So I don't know why I'm tongue tied At the wrong time when I need this."- P!nk My blog |

I had ankle reconstruction surgery a few years ago and after being on opiods for early recovery they moved me to Naprosyn which is prescription strength aleve. It was great. No side effects and it controlled the pain well, even when I started PT after 10 weeks in a cast. I honestly hadn't heard anyone talk of this and didn't remember having patients on it but I really liked it. Much easier on the stomach than ibuproferon and the effect was stronger too.

Had a pretty nice day. Went on a walk in nature with some friends and then baked. Feeling seasonal depression hit me a bit, just feeling apathetic and pessimistic, but working on making myself do stuff anyways. I realized I need to branch out and meet more people, and so am considering how to go about that. I might need to join an activity or try some meet-ups.

I hear many people are already feeling some seasonal depression. Some people have already started their light therapy. I need to meet more people, too. I probably won't work too hard on it until after the New Year. The holiday season feels a bit demanding to me. I hope you have a great week! __________________ May we each fully claim the courage to live from our hearts, to allow Love, Faith and Hope to enLighten our paths. |

I agree with WC .. Aleve and Tylenol can make a good combo. I would ask for a muscle relaxer. I think most doctors are willing to offer that.. I looked into acupuncture and I also could not afford it. Nor can I afford PT for my spinal stenosis they found on MRI earlier this year , I went once and found it would be over 40.00 a week ! For 6 weeks. Nope ! I was only shown a few exercises. I do deal with quite a bit of pain from that too.

I tend to post a lot when I’m struggling in fact it’s on my profile I always think of it as a “ helping you gets me outta my own head “ deal Although I also need to check out and do self care. Or just binge ER lol I’m sorry your struggling with dealing with the heat burning you up... I was very close to putting my AC back on today. Yes you need to get that figured out. You can’t be dealing with chronic migraines and parched lungs giving you fits Was 74-75 today but had a nice breeze thankfully. I’d like some 45 tho ! I like my winter clothes Hahaha Hugs !!!!!! __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

Yesterday I crashed. I slept on and off throughout the day then went to bed at 7 pm. This morning I got up at 6.30 am and now two hours later I’m exhausted again. Can’t go back to bed as I’m off to see my physiotherapist soon. My hip has been getting worse. Resting yesterday did help but not enough. My cousin told me she has had the same issue (inflamed bursa’s) in both hips this year and needed cortisone injections to help recover. Maybe it’s genetic, or age though she is six years younger.
Last week I got heaps done so a slow week this week is manageable. On Friday I’m catching up with an old friend who is visiting from Wales. Then Sunday night I’m staying over my cousins. Both of them are dear to me, especially my cousin, so it will be wonderful. Apart from my partner and immediate family I rarely see anyone. Mood-wise I feel good. Anxiety is always with me in ebbs and flows. Still, overall I’m probably the best I’ve been all year. If it weren’t for my hip I would almost be ready to do casual work. I also have to decide next month if I want to re-enrol for University in 2020. I haven’t been for nearly 2 years now and am not sure if it’s the right path for me even though I’m half-way through a degree. Sigh, so tired. I had better get ready and go.

I’ve had a good day.. my lungs are acting much better. I was able to skip nebulizing which I’m soooo happy about.
Steves middle son and his girlfriend are flying up for the weekend , he works for American Airlines so it’s free he needs to do it more often, his boys really need to make more of an effort to spend time with him, they will regret it one day My husband has finally gotten every bit of Judies shyt out of our home ! We are just going to drop it all off at Good will ! Pure comfort food for dinner and I ate to much but who can pass up marinated garlic chicken, mashed potatoes and corn ??? Nope I can not !!! lol I’m stuffed. We have some nasty storms headed our way tomorrow. Hopefully nothing dangerous. Hugs and cookies ~ __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

I think my body is in shock or something from the bowel prep. I've been done drinking it for a few hours but I'm freezing cold and shaking. I even took a hot shower to see if it would help but it only did for a few minutes. I'm fine, it's just weird.
3 more hours until I'm not allowed anything by mouth. __________________ 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 am so grateful you are feeling better! I was afraid the prednisone was beating you up!
Sounds like it may get very busy soon! I hope and pray you will do just fine with your company. I think it's best your home is rid of things that trigger you.
