Hi all. I'm still around. I have been trying new meds and going on crying stints and have just been plain old grumpy. When I feel that way, I just hide. Trying to get on with life and not dwell on my BP as much. I am looking for a new job because I hate my current one. I still love you all and think of you often. I am spending a little time on here today because I miss everyone and wanted to catch up. How are you all?
Love foreal

After almost 3 yrs of the meds changes,I may have found something that seems to work for me.Depakote.I've only been on it 4 weeks.But theses have been the best 4 weeks in years.I went on a 6 week total withdrawl,to detox my system(Pdoc was supervising)..that was HELL!
But the Depakote seems to have brought some of my old spark back...without turning me into a Zombie.It's only been a few weks,and that's usually when past meds have puttered out on me...but right now I feel pretty good.

Oh,and I rescued a little white Chiwawa and brought him home..he fits right in,although he demands his lap time ...in a big way!LOL!
SO how about you?

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
