Thanks Bev, I am still a little freaked out. But I'm relieved I will see the dr. on Monday. I will have an ultrasound on May 24. I hope I can get operated soon after. Thanks for your well wishes....
Thank you. I think mine is not a cyst because of it's hardness and it is not flexible. I am seeing my surgeon this Monday. I hope he can get me into surgery as quickly as possible. Thank you for your...
Hi I'm Christine 777. I am not new to the Healingwell forum. I have been on the Bipolar side of things. But now I'm hit with a lump. I don't know yet if it's cancer. All I know is that it is big,...

Well, I just made it through the weekend, sorta half functioning these last few weeks. I don't get much done, and spend way too much time on the computer. But I do get through the basics, hubby does...
Just curious, why would Haldol be a problem, it's really the only antipyschotic I can tolerate, I'm either allergic to the others or have bad side effects. What happened to you when you were on it?...
Thanks Bill, Hanging in there by my toenails, can't say it was a total victory, but I think I must have a guardian angel that keeps protecting me so everything is still ok for now. Thanks for all...
Tainted, thank you. You are right about that, I guess I have alot of work to do. Thank you for taking the time to respond. Doing ok for now, hope it continues. Take care and have a great week....
Thank you both for your input. I have to honest for me the only solution is fidelity. Personally I can't sleep nights if I do it any other way. But that's just me, I am like that. Thank you both for...
Big huggs, from me too. Thanks for all your hard work and support of all these nice people. Be kind to yourself. (((((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))))))) Christine...
What's wrong with me.. I know I'm bipolar....but why do I have to keep making the same stupid mistakes over and over again. I just saw my nurse and doctor recently and my doc asked does you're...
Thank you so much. I am happy and relieved, it's a big load off my shoulders. Have a great day. Big hugs, Kitt. Christine...
Thanks so much, Bill. So far so good, it's gonna be a long day though. Christine....
I am still struggling and I did worse than ever, but I am picking myself up and brushing myself off. Prayed my way through, now off to church to do some real good things. Thanks for the reply and...
I went to get my stress test. I was quite nervous. Pictured myself falling off the treadmill and getting a heart attack. But all that did not happen. Actually I passed the test, it was negative,...
Thanks for your reply Bill. Ya I'm only slightly crazy. Sometimes, all the time, oh I don't know. LOL Christine...
Happy Bill, UPDATE: I started to do things I don't want to do. You know what I'm talking about. I hope and pray, I can get out of this one. Please lecture me. I need it. Christine...
Thank you Tortoise11. Yes, over and done, it went well. But I hate all the probing questions, won't have to do this for another year, yay. Thanks for your well wishes. Just found out I am considered...
It is just a routine visit. I am always nervous about seeing them. I don't like psychiatrists. But I need them and they need me (pills). I have to travel about 40 miles to see them cause I have no...
Thank you Kitt, I certainly will let you know how the stress test goes. I'm a little nervous, don't want to fall off the treadmill, lol. As for diet, I know quite alot about food and different...
Thanks for you input. I will take note. Christine...
I was on here earlier describing my heart problems. Well I went to the cardiologist and he took an ECG and he said it was normal. He listened to my heart and told me the valves sound normal. I...
Have fun with your new doggy. Sounds like a nice one. Wish you could put a picture of him here. Is it against the rules? Christine :-)...
Wow, I thought I was the only one to suffer this way, as happy bill knows I kinda "lectured" (kindly I hope) him about his sexual stuff. I have the same difficulty. I am very ashamed of it, I am...
Welcome to the board. Tainted. Sounds like you are on meds that give you too many side effects. Ask the doctor to rethink them and try again. You will get it better eventually. We all went through...
Welcome, GM Teegs. I have seen that look in people eyes when I wasn't well it is scary. My faith often carries me through those times. I have been Bipolar for about 20 years and I am still here. Nice...
I'm so sorry nobody responded before now. I know how it can feel when no one understands what we are going through. I would hang in there and just be patient, your loved ones will always love you...
Thanks Serafena for being there for us. Hope you are going to feel better and allow yourself some down time. We all need to allow ourselves to grieve and I always feel sad when my dad's anniversary...
No real plans, just anxious for hubby to come home and give me a little time off from the toddler. Then I take off and usually go to a restaurant and sit down and enjoy being served and enjoy my food...
Hi Lanie, I went to look at the blood glucose meters and the pharmacist told me with a prescription I can have a meter free. So I will have to get some blood tests done and talk to the doc first....
Thank you Jeannie, I will also look into the ones at my local drugstore too. Thanks for all your help. Christine....
Thank you so much, Jeannie. I will try what you say and see how it goes. How much do those meters cost? Hope I didn't cause a stir here. Thanks again. Christine...
Thank you all for your input. Please don't argue on account of me. Take care everybody. Thanks, Christine....
No one in my family has diabetes. So I hope I can avoid it. Low carbs is a challenge for me though. But I will have to try. Thanks again, Jeannie Christine...
Tell me about it. I got diagnosed for Bipolar when I was 26. I weighed 126 lbs. back then. And now I have gained alot of weight. Some of it is the pills some of it is life style habits. Still wishing...
Thank you happy bill and mogli. I think night time is hard for me. I woke up this morning almost feeling normal again. How crazy is that. So many ups and downs. Thank you so much for your support. I...
Better late than never. Welcome, I'm kinda new too. Take care, Christine...
Hi Tortoise, Welcome back, all the best. Christine...
Update: I can't seem to keep it together today. It started off fine, but descended into irritable yuckiness. I can't seem to get very far in my housework. The sound of my toddler's voice is...
Thank you Lanie. I have been reading alot of the posts. Good stuff. Thanks for your reply. Christine...
My doctor just put me on apo hydrochlorothiazide. I have high blood pressure. I am also overweight, I have had my sugar tested and it always comes back normal. But I suspect I am probably borderline...
When I start seeing things, I know I am getting psychotic. We aren't supposed to see angels. I believe that is not what we are meant to see. Not good. You need to get your meds adjusted. Quick! Take...
I have some personal experience with weaning off the meds. One thing the doctor never tells you is you must go extremely slow. It should take months, or even a year to go off pills not weeks. Your...
For me, when I get manic, this is just my advice not professional or anything, I usually have to get my meds changed and drastically. I find for me manic is more dangerous than depressed because I...
Maggiern, the moods last for quite a long time usually. But then again I can cycle in and out of it too. Lately I just feel generally depressed and lousy though. Hope that isn't too confusing, I am a...
Thanks Tortoise11 Wow, that's me too, when I am manic I am practically fasting. Hardly have any appetite at all. Must be a biological reason for these appetite swings, must go together with the mood....
Congratulations! All the best in your new endeavour. Take care. Christine....
