Re: guess im out of my league

Kapula,

Thanks for sharing your experiences with Lithium and fish oil. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I just found out I'm having difficulty with dizziness due to my cochlear implants and may need to take an 8th med to relieve it. If I add fish oil to the list, that will make 9 things I have to take and I'd rather not if I don't have to. We'll see.

Dreams,

Yeah just be careful and check with the pdoc about the fish oil. Geez girl your starting to get up to my med list numbers! *LOL* I can tell the Abilify has been making me gain weight because I only eat a bowl of cereal and 2 high protein slimfast a day and I've lost 2 lbs since I started it but not have gained any even though I'm eating like "nothing".

I hate winter this year, one day it's 20 the next 65, I can't take it. Both my knees are killing me, even with the large amount of narcotics I'm taking each day. It's also triggering my migraines with all these "fronts" and weather systems coming and going. Every time the barometric pressure starts moving, I know I'll have a migraine soon. I hate it!

When do you plan to move to AZ? Do you have family their? Is your sister going to move their with you?

Re: guess im out of my league

Kat,

I can emphasize with everything you mentioned in your post. I have a 21 year history of migraines which are aggrevated by the environment, weather, food allergies, you name it. I also hate winter. Today the high temperature was only in the single digits. I will be moving to AZ this summer -- most likely in June. If not June, then definitely August, September or October. It really depends on how much preparation I have to do in order to find a new tdoc, pdoc and psychiatric hospital down there. I'm telling you, it won't be soon enough for me. I could care less if it's 125 degrees in the summer. I'll take that over -30 windchill in the winter and 95 degrees with 90% humidity in the summer. The only thing I'd miss would be our spring and autumn seasons. In May, June, September and October, the weather is just delightful around here.
