I saw my PDOC yesterday and found out that R.C. BPD is not my only dilemma. In fact there were two other forms of disorders that I suffer from. ADD, and OCD.

I did not know that my desperate need to straighten magazines in offices, or the fear and panic I have of trying to shop in places like 'Ross', or that if I don't do things in a specific order while taking a shower, were issues...LOL.

I've been aware of the ADD for a little while considering all my mess of unfinished projects, forgetfulness, and distractability. Although I can't believe the amount of medication I am on. Not to mention that I also have a low thyroid, and fibroid tumors...crap, I'm only 36 and I take 5 different and NECESSARY pills just to get through my day.

Oh and my social issues are a whole other post. It's pretty scary to be me...

Does anyone else feel that way?

You sound like you are full of life...and it is nice that you put the magazines in order in the doctor's office. I like them like that myself.

hugs, Norma

Hi, Deep, I am sorry you have all that going on, I have a lot on my plate as well, and take 7.5 pills in the morning and another 6 at night, and these are all pills I have to take if I want any kind of decent life, I use to joke with the girls at my pharmacy, that my center piece on my kitchen table was a ice cream bucket full of pill bottles, sad truth is it was..lol, I am now down to the 7.5 from 9 in the morning, and 8 at night I had been taking.

Is your doctor helping to find maybe something that one med would cover all? or at least some?

lol, Hey Glory, love the new look, I am sure you are probably like me, we would rather not have to take the meds, but if that is what it takes for us to have a better life, then so be it.

Glory, I'm there with you, I think it's about 12 in the morning and another 8 or so at night. Granted some of them are vitamins. My parents freaked when they saw the amount of pills I take. Oh the luxury of taking one or two...

The older I get, the heavier I get and the more pills I have to take...so hmmm...let me just consider that LOL...if I got skinny ???

Deep heart, you just hang in there, girl. We are here for ya and remember....Doctors were created so that Pharmacists could dole out the drugs, so that we could take them so the phamacutical companies can stay in business so people working at their plants can have jobs so they can have families so there will be more people to go to the doc's and be prescribed pills so the parmacists.........etc, etc. lolol

Love

Gloria
