The new pdoc was awesome...an older "seasoned" pdoc who listened with an open mind and compassion as I answered her many questions......she's very concerned about he swelling in my feet, ankles and lower legs...and wants to find out why it's happening. She ordered a total blood work-up for me and I will have to fast beforehand and go tomorrow morning for that.
We spoke about Lithium, changing anti-anxiety meds...the works really! And we both came to settle on Geodon, this will be the second go round on this med for me, no third actually. It has the least amount of side effects for me out of ALLLL the AP's I have been on over the years.....except for the tardive's which she can counter with another med if it becomes very bothersome.
As far as the stepmother thing, I have spoke my peace for certain and I feel have gotten what point I wanted to make across...I feel good about what I did, I felt it had to be done and has been eating at me for some time so now I can let that go. I feel good about it which works for me!
Again thanks to all of you who came out to support me and have my back today......I hope you know I have all of yours too :-)
Been a very busy, emotional day for me....I'm tired not but still have therapy with my son to attend and then to the beauty shop for his haircut, school for him starts on Monday! I am feeling better though and just wanted to let ya all know how things turned out today :-)
