Well much better today, thanks for....................

 Good morning everyone. I am feeling much better this a.m. Even before I had my morning coffee, so this could be a good sign. Although I made myself go to bed early last night. Gosh I never wanted a day to be over more than anything. Isn't that odd. My friend called last night  and I said what time is it? She replied 9:30 , I said oh good , she said what do you mean I said only a few more hrs. She said Ok, you are excited the day is ending why what's tomorrow, I said another day! Of course she does not have a clue what I mean, but it is ok. It is not her fault either and I do have to reaize that too. Kinda glad she doesn't know what I am talking about. Anyways just wanted to say thanks to all for the suport. I should be back to normal by Monday! haHa Normal, well my normal rapid self, cheerful and all. Really it feels much better than this you guys , hope you can understand that. You guys are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't care what TV says about you folks.lol .......................With Love , thanks again Nickie 

 ((((((((((((( Thanks Sandra))))))))))))))))))

Hey Nickie..I am so glad that u are feeling better. Unfortunately, I wish I could say the sme. Please dont worry, but u guys I just CANT defeat the mood swings. And NOBODY supports that. All they do is cut me off and tell me they are so sick of hearing it! That is why I want to do the "deed" we are not allowed to say what I am saying as it is against HW policy, but I think u all know what I a talking about. But, u know it is what I am feeling, not what I am planning to do. I love you guys...and be well. Again, Nick, I am so happy that u r feeling better today, u deserve to be happy, as we ALL do! Oh yeah, when I am better and my F*****g husband is gone (Monday) I want to talk to you (Nick) about the Diabetes thing. A LOT of questions for you..so be ready!!!! Kev has had Diabetes since he was like 7 years old and is insulin dependent. Also, as my dear friend Shan says; SHANNON and Sandra..I havent forgotten both of you!!!!!!!!!!!

All my love and STAY happy,
Patti ;~)

Hey there Patti,

I'm sorry that you're suffering from the mood-swings.

I would definately have a serious discussion with your physician about the EffexorXR. This is an SNRI which often inhibits REM sleep. If you're not being controlled with the Depakote, I'd discuss adding an atypical (like Seroquel) to your treatment regimen.

Are you still taking Donnatal? Geez .. I haven't heard of anyone on that in a very long time.

Hey Patti, just now reading your post ((((( sorry))))))))))!   I feel bad for ya sweetie, and I know what it's like. I wish it would go away for you. I wish there was something i could say, I will email you something funny. I sent it to Shannon, not sure she got it or not though. maybe it will make ya laugh. If you are like me and Shannon in that way , it will!!!! Do you know that yesterday when my cousin called me (sweet little thing),I wondered how in the F*** can someone be so happy all the time? She is taking 5 classes , works 40 hrs., has a dog and a boyfriend. I am like thinking don't you ever stress? She goes to school for Diagnostic Medical Sonography. Not easy either. I must be weird. I haven't even started yet and already my nerves are getting to me.I think I have lost 5lbs this week? ............ Well i wish I could sing to you , and make ya feel better, but you would probably run the other direction. lol Sending hugs from Michigan, I am thinking of you.P.S. My daughter stayed the night at her grandma's ( jason's moms) last night, for the first time in like 2yrs. We had a night alone and do you know we watched a movie and after that i fell asleep, and he let me sleep. Geez..............I think I am getting old, or boring...or maybe I was just tired. I didn't really know what to do without her. I know your thinking well...let's see.. um.. yeah I know that! But I really did miss her.
