"Alcoholic recovery with bipolar and dysthymia" (Nightstars)

MDJunction to me

djfilippone"Before I found this site I felt so alone.  Watching my daughter struggle with IH and being treated like she had two heads from doctors.    I have plenty of family and friends but there was nobody that really knew what she was going through.
I not only have support and love from others who will listen and share their
story, but I have made some forever friends.  Having this support site does make a difference to many.

No sleep last night, waving arms about saying I was writing, reciting children's book. I'm blessed by my wife. We've seen this before so she doubled up my lactulose to clear out toxins. Not so "delirious" now, but talking like a child.

Glad to talk it out.

Peace be with you,

Mike

I'm so sorry you had a bad night. Your wife sounds like a great gal, and I'm glad you have someone to help keep you on track during your scary moments. We miss your witty and intelligent responses, so feel better soon.

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right..Forget about, scratch that, Pray for the ones who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it!-Catherine Yen

Feeling better today. Had to "flush the system." We decided it was the experiment we ran. Last Friday I had a small piece of steak (not forbidden) to see if I could have some every couple of weeks. 5 days later pow! I also see that the day before I'd only taken 3 lactulose doses, so I must have been "losing it." Thanks for your support! that's why I'm here.
Peace be with you,

Mike
