I haven't heard from you Kitt, Scaredy Cat, Fugs, everybody.  I will be moving this week and will be out of pocket until I get access to a computer at my parent's home.  I am doing OK, but still having panic attacks every day since a Pdoc lowered my dosage of Klonopin to twice a day.  The middle of the day is the worst; I get jittery and can't stop moving my toes inside my socks or shoes.  I have a nervous 'tick' out of one eye and my mouth jerks every once in a while--stress?  Could be tardive dyskinesia? I take Reglan too, along with other many medicines.

 

Just wondering how everyone is doing, I am concerned about you all and may God bless you all abundantly.  Love, peace, and contentment with joy,

 

Camylou

Hi Camylou,

My guess is they have been busy with the weekend.

I hope your move goes smoothly, and I am sure the others will be delighted when they see your message.

Take care Camy

Hey Camylou! I did post on one of your threads last week-I haven't forgotten you!!!:) My husband is out of town on business, so it's my youngest and me that = busy mom. I shouldn't take him for granted, because when he's not here, there is a lot more to be done (garbage duty for one!:0) So yeah, I've not been on the computer as much. I too hope that your move goes well. This is a transitional time for you for sure! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. You sound to me already like you are in a calmer state-I hope that I'm right about that!
luvs and hugs,

Camylou,

Good to meet you. Just wanted to respond to your thread to let you know that we are all out here, ready to support each other. Good luck with your move. That's always stressful. I hope you're able to adjust to your new medication dosages better.

Hey Camylou,

I am right here and have been covering the Depression forum while the moderator there was starting a new job so I helped out there.  This gave my peer moderator a chance to take time away to concentrate on the new job and be free to take time for herself.

I have been reading and I have not forgotten you my friend.  I did post to you in your HRSSC And The Road Toward Disability  thread but I guess I missed your last response there about the moving van. 

I also have been helping out with my daughter's business and visiting my Mother-in-law who is not doing well.  She is 84 with severe congestive heart failure. The 21st was my daughter's 21st wedding anniversary and the 22 our youngest granddaughter turned 7 so we had some family events too.  Usually my weekends are pretty dull.

Please never feel you are far from my thoughts. 

Tardive dyskinesia is a condition that may develop in patients who use metoclopramide, a drug sold under brand names such as Reglan in the United States. You may be on the right thought track here so please talk with your Dr. re these sx. 

I hope your move goes smoothly and know I will keep you in my prayers. 

I do hope you will get your internet connection back on ASAP after your move as I feel it helps you to stay connected to this forum.

Blessings,

Kitt

Thanks you guys, I will keep you all informed. Thank you so much for your kind words and actions regarding my plight. I am in the middle of trying to secure paperwork right now from my employer and making phone calls (repetitively). I will log on later to talk to you about what else is going on.

I understand how you get buried under the paper work and just when you think you have all the forms completed another one comes along so hang in there Camy !  We have your back.

Hugs,

Kitt

Wow... moving time is here! Moving can be a stressful time and it may take awhile for you to feel settled at your parent's place. I find it interesting that at a time like this that it would be now that your doctor chose to lower your Klonopin. Does s/he know about the move?

I have the hardest time (anxiety wise) in the middle of the day too. I don't know if that's because midday is the furthest point from the peace of sleep or if it's because you're in the midst of dealing with everything (in the thick of the day). But I've found it helpful to adjust the time I take my medication so that I get a "boost" in the afternoon and then stretch out my dosages and let it go longer before bed and in the morning when I'm calmer.

I can't tell you if your Sx are TD, but I can tell you that I had that jittery feeling, some muscle spasms, and a bunch of nervous energy the last time I cut back on my benzos.

We're here for you, thinking about you, wishing you the best, and keeping you in our prayers. I trust that this move will bring about some unexpected blessings. We'll be here waiting for your next update. :-)

Hey Camy- sorry I've been absent here but you are still remembered in my nightly prayers. Hope the move is going well and that you can over come any anxieties you are experiencing.

We all want to hear about the new place.  Remember we are here for you so stay strong.

Fugs, RA, Kitt, moving day is here!  Fugs, being on twice-a-day and moving are not a good mix; I have been having panic attacks every day, sometimes all day long.  I just ball up in a knot inside and outside.  Pdoc doesn't seem to care very much about it, but I am going to seek out another Pdoc in my new hometown and hopefully won't have to deal with the current Pdoc anymore.  I am trying to stay strong, and I know God has been with me all along getting things packed and ready.

I didn't get bit even one time by a spider (there are TONS of Black Widows out here) or bruised.  I have a scratch on my right inside elbow, but it is superficial.

 

The prayers are coming through loud and clear to the Lord, I can assure you all.  I will tell you about my parent's house---it's 3 bedroom 1 and 1/2 bath and cozy.  I am moving into my old bedroom and the cat will live in the computer room.  I am dealing with disability paperwork, trying to keep up with it.  It's already into a fight and I have no idea whether any of my doctors are coughing up their files to the address I gave them to send them too.  I may have to pay for the copies, too, and I have no money to do that.  I hope charity reigns strong in this issue.

 

I have been up since 5:30AM and I am tired already.  I will contact you all later on today when I get the chance.  Love you guys and I thank you so much for your support and prayers.

 

Until later on,

Camylou

Camy,

I hope the sun is shining down on you on your moving day and know we are all here cheering you on. 

Consider this the first day of the rest of your life and know you will make it through.  Remember you have anxiety, anxiety does not have you.  Also you have many friends here in HW that would love to help you with the move if that were possible so just stay in the moment and take everything one step at a time.

Blessings,

Kitt

Kitt, Fugs,RA, awty, percycat, Scaredy Cat---the move went smooth as glass. My husband and I worked hard to make sure everything was packed into boxes and ready to go, and the movers arrived at 10AM and took everything from there. There were 3 men, gentlemen every one, very professional and incredibly efficient in their moving trade. Within a very short amount of time, everything was loaded onto the truck, clear to the back, and then they were done. They headed off to the storage facility in my parent's town, and my husband and I stayed and cleaned the duplex (vacuum, mop) and are spending the night there to get some rest before my husband has to run his UHaul trailer to his grandmother's to unload in the morning. He also has to work tomorrow and I will be going with him on his truck run. God bless my parents for taking me in, and may He richly bless them in every way, shape and form. May the Lord bless all of you--Kitt, Fugs, awty, percycat, Scaredy Cat as well, and thank you so very much for your support and prayers. You guys mean so much to me. I love you.
Again, God bless all of you and may you find peace and freedom from pain. I will contact you again once I get set up at my mom and dad's.

Phew!, you must be exhausted. I hope that you take care of yourself-get plenty of rest and good nutrition. I also hope that this adjustment period goes smoothly for you, your husband and your parents. I am hoping and praying that you have a panic-free today and tomorrow (and the next...)
Take care, and selltle in:)

Oh, thats great Camy, so pleased it went well for you. Lots of energy needed to make it go as well as you have, well done!

Camy,

I am so glad the move went smoothly as I know  what a huge job it is.  I have never had the experience of using a moving service but it does sound like it was great so kudos to the moving van gentlemen.

You must be relieved to have that behind you and now you can move forward with life and be sure to take good care of yourself for you are important and loved by so many.

We will be waiting to hear from you.

Kindly,

Kitt

good morning, everybody! just waking up and saw all the great messages you sent. got a few more things to take care of in the backyard but otherwise we are moved out. I will keep you posted, love you guys and take care.

Great news Camylou! I'm glad things went so smoothly (and no spider bites)! :-)

I've moved a lot and have had some well orchestrated, easy moves and others that have been pure disasters. In this time of anxiety I'm happy to hear that yours went as well as it did. God was (and is) indeed looking down upon you. This was a big step. Take a moment to allow it to settle in and appreciate the accomplishment that it is. I know there's more work ahead as far as unpacking and settling in, but just take it one step at a time and don't let anxiety about the future keep you from acknowledging what you just accomplished!
Posted 10/31/2010 5:09 PM (GMT 0)
You're absolutely right, Fugs---I will make sure to try hard not to stress out when I get to my parents. I'm more concerned about my cat than me right now! She will have to get used to a small feisty little dog (he's old in dog years so that may help), but she has a place to get away from him in the computer room. Now I've got to fit everything that goes with me to my parents in my little Toyota truck, so please pray that I can get everything in there. My future looks bright despite what is happening, and God is in control of that and everything else. The Lord was mightily present during the move and He is still in control. Now, I've got to get dressed and moving about, so I'll talk to you later from my parent's house computer. Love you very much, and peace be with you,
Camylou
