Hi, everyone. I am checking in. I hope everyone is all right--though I am sure that each of you need a hug, to know someone cares, there are issues. I do miss all of you...life keeps happenings, changes keep happening, and I always feel like there is a lot to be done...and not enough time to do it all. I have given up doing much of the stuff I tried to do, I usually have someone help me with some of the housecleaning. My family helps me with lots of stuff such as shopping and driving.
Just like with you, there have many changes. Russ and Derick hurt a lot. I hurt much of the time depending with med changes, what I do, etc. I know that you understand.
I will check back in soon, though I have to go South to see my mom this weekend. I wil be gone a week while she has surgery for a skin cancer issue.
So hugs to everyone, I am thinking of you. And I do miss all of you. God bless.
I asked for medicine for depression last month. It made me sick--I was dry-heaving multiple times daily and just felt aweful until I took myself off the med. Then the doctor increased my trazadone which I have been taking--now I just want to sleep my way through the day and I can't sleep at night for some reason.
I had a migraine last week--Derick was mad and was staying gone all week. I don't think he casued the fever though. lol.
I miss talking with my friends here. I started doing more and then really exhausted myself and I got more depressed with the yoo-yooing, with the feeling bettter and then worse.
I was approved for social security disability. I don't even know how much I will be getting or when I will get it (in the next two months). But I feel validated about getting it.
Take care and hugs!
Patty

Hello everyone! I miss all of you. I am exhausted and in pain. Russ and Derick hurt more, so I am trying to do more. I have started trying to drive some, like to doctor appointments. This weekend, I have been sleeping a lot and just not doing much.
Take care everyone, I hope everyone is feeling better. Hugs to all of you.

Patty...congrats for the social security disability. That is good news. I miss you and glad to hear from you. Dry heaves from the anti-depressant? That's is really unusual side effect. Could it be you just had the flu? Trazadone is both an anti-depressant but because of its side effects, it is also used as a sleeping pill. Let your doctor know how you feel. Maybe the dose isn't right. Hang in there and keep in touch.

Yes congrats on getting aproved for SSDI. You should get a big check for the back pay and then your monthly checks. Not much but everything helps.

So glad your back, I missed you. Congrats on finally getting your disability. Hopefully you will start getting your checks soon. Sounds to me like you need to talk to your doctor about your meds. Maybe he can adjust the dosage. I take trazadone also, but I only take it at night because it makes me so drowsy. Do you take it during the day? That might cause you to be so tired during the day. Let me know if you get to talk to your doctor. Take care friend and have a nice day.
