I think you might take a list in of the times you have asked for help in this
next week. Even if its just for help on issues you are dealing with and
you post the irritant on here. And people respond.
That is help also.

I hope you're right and she's just picking away at the MS because it's the most obvious target. I do have a couple of examples of things I asked my husband to do for me over the weekend. They're minor… the kind of help I usually need and ask for. I hope those examples satisfy her.
You're right, I should just try to hold my tongue and post my frustration here, but she makes it kinda hard. She's seen me in action, so I don't know if a major change in direction is a good idea, but I think I can manage an adjustment or two.
The funny thing is she doesn't doubt my ability to maintain sobriety as long as my bipolar disorder is stable.
I called my neurologist's office and he granted my request to start taking the amantadine twice a day. I forgot to ask when I should take the second dose though. I take my meds at 8. I should have been keeping track of when I've been starting to hit the wall. I don't want to take it too close to bedtime because it can interfere with sleep, so I'm going to try taking it at 2 today. I can play with that though.
It seems to be helping in the morning and early afternoon, which are my better hours, but I always go downhill after that. Taking the second dose will really give me a good idea of what this med can do…
