Wanted to say hi instead of lurking. Some names I recognize but most i don't. So here goes. I am BP II with all the wonderful things that the diagnosis includes and some that probably haven't been diagnosed yet. I also suffer from chronic pain. I guess I shouldn't start that way because it makes it sound as though I define myself that way but I am really a mother of two great boys, 15 and 6. 15 yr old is BP, ADD and a few other things, takes lots of meds and hates it but knows it can be no other way. My fiance is wonderful, patient, kind, understanding, and very helpful. Today is a good day despite the pain, though I am kind of grouchy and starting to feel a little manic. Think it was the sleep meds. Restoril does that to me. Anyway, hi all and hope it is a good day for all.
