Im just wondering do BP's ever live the normal life. Im talking the carrer, marriage and children. Complete with peice of mind. Even on meds complete and stable, What are the chances?

There is no such thing as a normal life. We all react differently to situations regardless if we have BP. What is normal? It's what is good for you and what works for you as long as no one else is hurt in any way.

Like that sunshine. Life just is what it is and we have different ways of dealing with it

I have been pretty stable since two rounds of ECT in 2002/2003. I occasionally have to tweak my meds as I get tolerant of a lot of them. My first job after being diagnosed lasted a year. I only quit because of the meds made my hands shake so I couldn't draw blood or give shots. I manage a household with a lot of help from my husband with 4 kids, two of which are ADHD. I see my "normal" friends having problems similar to mine anyway. I wouldn't like to be any one else. More money would be nice.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
