Suzanne, I can really relate I just had a colonoscopy and endoscopy and was very lucky, my medical group has a computer based system so the gastroenterologist could see all my drugs at my first appointment and was prepared. My only problem was the I…
I am Pamela and I live in Rio Linda a small town in Sacramento county CA. My journey started 5 years ago. I was diagnosed bipolar in a very strange way. I saw an interview with Jane Pauly about her bipolar disease. she talked about how manic she bec…
Sorry I've been away, some of it depression (had to add another pill right now to get me by until my grandson moves out. For the most part my drugs work for me. My P-doc did reduce my Seroquel because of weight gain, she added Lithium to my pill fac…
Yeah I wish there was a magic pill and I wish there was an easy way to keep the weight off too. I found that when I ate 6 small meals through out the day it was easier, but I am now lucky to get the desire to eat 1 meal a day. I know one meal a day…
