I've been starting to notice some unwelcome side effects from the increase in lithium… I have a slight tremor from the MS, but it's worse now, and I know it's from the lithium because the same thing happened the last time I took it. Also, I've started to see mild flesh-colored acne when I first went back on it, and now I'm getting pimples since the increase. The problem got severe before I stopped it (due to toxicity) and it took about 6 months to clear up… I have scars.
I'm going to call my pdoc on Monday to see if we can reduce the dose. Both issues really bother me. I was treating the mild acne with an old prescription from the dermatologist, but I could use more firepower. I may make an appointment with him. While the tremor is particularly concerning, I'm not going to call my neurologist because I know it's medication-related and only decreasing or stopping the med will help. I have an appointment with him next month.


I kind of misjudged the difficulty of my project, and how much time it would take. Three doors intersect where I began, so almost everything at height-level had to be done by hand. The whole project took hours, and I took a lot of breaks, but it's done. My husband gave me pretty high compliments, which is rare

I have the opportunity to get behind the TV or sofa today because my husband is home to move the furniture, but I don't know if I want to or should do anything today. I'm pretty sore and tired.
My husband is in a lot of pain after a long hard day at work yesterday. I don't expect any help from him this weekend.
The Pat's game is on at 1pm tomorrow. I'm going to watch and enjoy it, and don't plan on doing any cleaning before or after.
