Checking in

[sherr33]

I just thought I would check in. I have been busy. We found a half sister of my husband and we got to meet her in May. It was amazing. And we also have been on vacation. Pray for me as I have put my Pdoc appointment off 2 times and I finally got my blood work done and I have to go to the Pdoc on Tuesday and I am scared to go. She wants to put me on other medication.

Hang in there, I am going through the same thing. Another med change Tuesday. Ughh.

I just dont want to go tomorrow. I dont like that thought of going to a pdoc. I call them my crazy doc.
As you can see I am having a hard time accepting this BP

Sherr, I do understand the reluctance. I spent nearly 10 years fighting the issue and as a result of the delay suffered several major set backs. Loss of marriage, loss of several jobs, etc. I hate the meds but I am convinced now that they are necessary, along with seeking God and His counsel daily, continuing to grow and learning to love properly all over again. In my case, I let all of this drive me from my first love. Now I am returning. I hope you are well and that you will find peace in this struggle. There are plenty here who do understand the difficulty accepting that BP is real and that we will have to live with it. Not much different than any other chronic condition however. Don't fear, you can make it.

I happened to have a med change also this week on Tuesday. It was an increase, and I am still feeling weard! Having one's meds messed with never seems to be fun. Anyway, I wish you the best, hang in there. It might not be as bad as you think

I was given a med change, too. Doctor added abilify. Unfortunately, the side-effect of extreme restlessness was too much to bear. I was pulled off of it. Give it time, but if the side-effects are too great, let your doctor know.

I was on Abilify last summer too, and it was so not good for me. I hope your search for the right meds gets better.

Today has been the worst since my medicatio tweaking. I went to the grocery store with my husband and could hardly function.
I am also cracky today and don't know why. I hate med changes
