MDJunction to me

"When I first came to MDJ, I was in a very dark place, and feeling quite alone, I don't know how I found this site, but I have been very grateful ever since, all of you have offered insight to the illness of Bipolar and the other things going on with me, being here has allowed me to find friends, and to feel safe in discussing things that I would never have shared before.

I believe it has also offered me the chance to reach out and help others. A simple Thank you, is all that I have to offer, to this site and to the wonderful people here.

Yabba Dabba Lithium
Nov 11 2008

So my long awaited doctor appointment came today and what a freaking relief it was. My doctor hugged me when she found out about the anxiety and panic I went through with the canceled appointments. Of course she knew nothing of the people who were effected by the cancellations. I told her everything I could remember, and she was awesome and asked the right questions for those things I forgot to say. She agreed with my Pdoc that I am Bipolar and have Anxiety disorder. She put me on Lithium. 900 mg daily. She said that is all she wants me on for now and lets see if that takes care of the mania, the anger/rage, and the anxiety. . . I giggled and said okey dokey. She wants to see me in 2 weeks to see how I am feeling. And if we need to adjust my does or add anything. I am so freaking happy that I got some medication, that I got a confirmed diagnosis from a second party. I am just happy. No weird side effects (no peeing like crazy or drinking like a camel, lol). But I did get a flu shot and my doggone arm is heavy as shit! 

Yay I  am so happy I will share with anyone who is reading a picture of my cats kittens...the white one is Kittiana Jones and the grey one is Darth Kitty :)

I am happy for you that you got your appointment and are heading down the road of fighting this. smilies/grin.gif I am also on 900mg of regular lithium right now. I take it at bed and have to eat something with it. I am starting the controlled release lithium as soon as I get them in the mail which I am hoping is today. Is your regular or is it the controlled release? Good luck and keep us in the loop.
