MDJunction to me

nvrsubtle"Not having any local Bipolar support groups where I live, MDJuntion has given me a place in which people understand what I am going through and has given me a new outlook on life with support that is real and good. Without
the support that I receive from MDJunction, I would be wandering through
life with no one who understands me. I owe so much to MDJunction for giving
me a life line to help get me through the toughest times.

Another attack

Jun 27 2009
So i had another attack yesterday and passed out on the kitchen floor again. Luckly my best friend was on her way round anyway so when she got here she lifted me into the front room and made me comfortableon the sofa got me the usal items needed in an attack bucket, phone, medication, water and got a quilt and some pillows to tuck me up. I am so lucky to have her in my life the last 2 weeks have been really hard going on me and the kids and she has been there every time ive needed her. So she took all 3 of my boys to her house for the night and is having them all day today. As normal i took my buccal and passed out on the sofa for 3 and a half hours when i woke up the dizziness and vomitting had passed. Where ive had so many attacks over the last 2 weeks every body now knows how to manage an attack and what works best to get it over and done with the quickest way possible we are all adjusting to the changes that have had to be made due to this crappy disease. Im hoping that it will go back into remission soon as having an attack free 5 months and then going back to an attack every day is really taking its toll now. Im trying to think positive and i know that at some point it will go away at least for a little while. I can cope with the constant tinitus, slight of balance, and being half deaf but the vertigo and vomitting i find soooo hard to cope with. The kids have been amazing through all this and so have CERTAIN members of my family my dad has decided to move down here from london to help manage the disease which is an awsome thing for him to do we are also interviewing a potential live in au pair so that when an attack does come on there is someone to look after the boys untill dad can get round(he is also a carer for my grandad). So we are taking the bull by the horns and manageing things to the best of our abilities. So my plans for today are to enjoy being attack free even if its just for a few hours but fingers crossed it will be longer than that. xx xx xx
