    • About Me

      I am unconventional, and extremely eccentric. I have no fashion sense, and I am proud of this. I am an authoress, a cook, a friend, a comedian, an actress, a dancer, a singer, a performer, a critic, a shoulder to cry on, and an artist. I think a sense of humour is the single most important thing, especially when you're naked. I am often summoned by world leaders for my magnificent mashed parsnip recipes. I was caller number 9, and won the tickets. There has never been a better time to be me.

    • Close Pulmonary Embolism

      Idiopathic PE dx on 14th Aug 09, which completely baffled the medical community. Concurrently I have DUB and Bipolar.

      Treatments

      Heparin Working / Worked
      Heparin infusion whilst an inpatient ... left incredible bruises!
      Coumadin Somewhat Helpful
      Was placed on Warfarin (Marevan) in hospital after the initial Heparin infusion, and continued the therapy when I was discharged, INR is very unstable but I've always had problems with keeping drugs stable in my blood (Lithium especially). Has shot up to 7.1 for no recognisable reason (no med changes / dietary changes / missed or extra doses) so required hospitalisation and Vit K. No other major dramas as yet.
    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      Bipolar 1 dx 2002. Still learning to effectively manage it.

      Treatments

      Lithium Considering
      I hate 'old faithful' but nothing else works.
      Risperdal Too Soon to Tell
      Just started.
      Seroquel Somewhat Helpful
      Controlled mood episodes quite well however the accompanying mental "fogginess" and memory problems were unacceptable to me. I also found it extremely sedating.

      PCOS and various other gyno problems
