    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      First and only full-blown manic episode brought on by codeine in 1989 (during high school). Doctors attributed episode to the codeine so did not diagnose. Diagnosed bipolar in 1996 (post BA) while experiencing hypomania. Terrible problems with depression.

      Treatments

      Lithium Working / Worked
      Evened out mood. Still swing but swings less extreme. Gives feeling of stability. Mind generates fewer disturbing thoughts.
    • Close Pregnancy

      Just starting to look into becoming pregnant. Husband just finished PhD and got a good job so it's time for us to start our family. Have to consider possible complications due to being bipolar as well.

    • Open Infertility

      I have a health condition which makes pregnancy very risky due to having to be off of my medication for such a prolonged period of time. Due to this we are considering IVF or surrogacy.

    • Open Adoption

      Due to health problems we are considering surrogacy.

    • Open Prolactinoma

      microadenoma found 4mm in February 09. Prolactin levels fluctuating between 30's and 70's.

      Treatments

      Parlodel Too Soon to Tell
      Have been on it for about 2 weeks. Tapered up over a week from half a 2.5 mg tablet to 2 tabletsday. First few days experienced fatigue nausea difficulty sleeping. The fatigue is gone. The nausea is improved. The difficulty with sleeping is sporadic. It seemed to go away but now has started up again. Exercising really hard has been helpful with the sleeping but not 100 reliable.
