My doc and I had a long discission about meds the other day. I have been concerned that we had "tried them all" but there are more out there. that gives me some hope.

There are drugs out there that I've never heard of. I've been on the same one since 2003! And FINALLY the boards are back up!

I'm glad you have new hope. Are you going to try something new?

Peace,

I'm not going to try anything new now. I told her how uncomfortable it made me when she adjusts my meds. There was just too much trial and error and too long of a crisis before we hit the right combo. When I'm not well (now) she increases stuff and I get concerned that if I continue to get sicker, then what? It was reassuring for me to listen to her. Also, she went through my chart(s) and wrote down everything we had tried - the list was shorter than it seemed to me. But as we went through the chart, I was glancing at notes and she caught me. She asked if it was weird to see the notes - it really wasn't since she is very good at saying it how it is. I would probably be much more uncomfortable reading my therapists notes!

Yeah, I couldn't go through a med change right now either. Seems that I am stable as I'm going to be for now. Sometimes we have to put up with some discomfort of symptoms even on meds. I don't think I could uproot it all and become a trial and error on legs. Wouldn't want it again.

Let's see...the therapists notes...yeah, that could get a little weird! I'd like to see how they perceive me sometimes though. It's not always easy to tell. To be honest, I haven't seen a therapist for a few years now. I have seen one in the past to work out some PTSD issues and she was like magic! I know she will always be there for me in the future though if I need her. Really cool woman!

Well, I'll talk with you again soon. Hope your daughter is doing ok now.

Peace,
