Journal Entry for September 9, 2009 Mood
Wednesday, September 9, 2009 | A General Update story

It's been 12 weeks since my daughter has had a seizure and this is a good thing, for sure!    I've been sleeping better at night, not so fearful.  She's now on 800 mg of Tegretol and 125 of Topimax.  I worry about her and depression, partly from the meds and partly from being unemployed for so long.  Hopefully she'll be able to wean off of the Tegretol and the Topimax will be the magic elixier we keep waiting for.

 

 I listen to all the turmoil, fear and anxiety of those of you on the groups who aren't having any luck with medications and my heart is heavy.  I don't know if this combo will work long term for my daughter, but I sure hope so and I wish that everyone could find the right meds for their own personal chemistry.

 

I'm off to craft shows in Maine and Rhode Island, and a 17 day fair in Springfield Ma.  I hate being away for so long but I have to make a living.  It's tough in this economy to be trying to sell anything, and flutes are no exception.  I'm working harder than ever, and making less.  But I'm breaking even and paying the bills, so I guess I shouldn't complain.

 

Looking for a puppy.
