I called the doctor on call and spoke with him. He believes that I should stop taking that lithium, because it couldBe causing the leg cramping.


I’m also having major side effects being dizzy and like I can’t feel my body it’s really really weird. And when I walk I feel like I’m going to pass out I get dizzy.  I don’t know how I made it to Walmart and back I am also on the verge of tears again that depression is getting worse

I’ve had cancer twice and three MAJOR surgeries (2 of the surgeries landed me with an incision from my pubic bone to my diagphragm. Even as much pain as that was, I have to say the last month has been far worse. In fact, if my cancer DOES come back, I’m NOT going through treatment.

I am sorry for all you are going through. I wish you didn't have to go through this at all. But I commend you for having the courage to know what you don't want next if it comes to that. Others in your life might not support you in that decision. You are the only one that can make it though. I am here if you need.

    I've been on high dose prednisone for pneumonia, and now I am slowly weaning. But lots of symptoms I don't like having, plus overeating has put at least 10 lbs on me. The food is "loud" as the GLP-1 users refer to it.Also pressured speech. Which comes out in my posts. Sorry I posted so much. I just need an outlet for my agitated and irritable brain. Just scroll on by my posts, if they are too...

    Has anyone heard from Jenn, she had an adult son with aspergers, Eric, they lived a long time with her grandmother, then they moved into an apartment. She had a funny little picture if I recall of a short dark haird woman as part of her name in a red dress.There are so many people who have dropped away from this room...I wonder where they are, and miss them. Wishing that DS could become what it...
