Not too long ago I was having massive problems with my anxiety. I have my ups and downs, but have been managing much better lately for some reason. I do get anxiety whether I'm tired or not (that was a joke). I almost never medicate in the afternoon because I'm so exhausted at that point, and I know the effect of the klonopin will be tenfold.

I have my follow-up appointment regarding the substance abuse evaluation on the 3rd. I'll find out then how much counseling I'm going to have to go through, and get an idea of how long it's going to take me, and how much it's going to cost me. I know my anxiety will rise again then.

I pushed it too hard yesterday. My husband moved some things around in the "cat room" (the extra bedroom where we keep the litter boxes and other random ****) and I did some cleaning. I skipped my nap. Later when I was cooking dinner I was so exhausted I got really confused and couldn't remember what I was doing or what was going on :( In the middle of it my husband came in and started poking me in the *** and I flipped out because I was so frustrated. I had to deal with calming him down because he was so ****** at me before I could figure out what the hell was going on with the dinner :(

I'm really looking forward to the game today! :) It should be a great game! The Pats have 20 players on the injury report, but they're still a strong team, and I think they're going to win :)

enjoy your foot ball!
bizi sorry that you had some disorientation....

Thank you,Bizi. It's okay. I'm just venting. You guys really don't have to respond to it (I know this isn't an MS forum).
I may just be having a pseudo-relapse- meaning something (infection, etc) is temporarily making my MS symptoms worse. And whenever that something improves I will too. The problem is, I don't have any sx of anything that falls into that category.
Things evolve with MS, but it's hard to accept things right away. I'll adapt better to things as they are and feel less of a need to ***** about it at some point.


I can't believe the Pats were able to put up 18 offensive points and the score was that close… it just looked like a slaughter… hard to watch for any Pats fan. The Broncos defense played amazingly well and Manning came through. The better team won, but it was a very disappointing loss. We can't blame injuries.
I don't like Peyton Manning, but I'm happy that that he was able to get another win in the post-season before his retirement. But I don't see another ring in his future because he has to face the Panthers in the Super Bowl…

I missed the beginning of the Cardinals vs. Panthers game because I was cooking dinner and then my husband was against watching it. But I turned it on after he went to bed at the end of the first half. The Panthers had a big lead and there were a dizzying amount of turnovers in a short period of time. I checked back in after halftime to watch them working as a well-oiled machine for a while before I passed out.

I recorded the new X-Files and a bunch of crap after it in case the game went long and the episode recording got cut off. I'm excited to watch it tonight. My husband has really been looking forward to it, too.

i watched the football game too and was very upset. I knew they were going to lose because the bronco's defense was so good and brady seemed unprotected most of the time. I can't blame brady but had to admire the bronco's defense.

i feel asleep during the panthers game. it was exciting in a negative way.
I kept the tv on and heard all the shouting.

I saw my pdoc today. I got the okay to move 50mg of the am seroquel to the nighttime dose. Hopefully I don't become symptomatic because I'm changing the timing. She said she would not support a total dose reduction or a med change even if it was contributing (which she highly doubts) because she strongly believes it would lead to another hospitalization or worse.

I don't think the am dose reduction is going to help. I refilled my pill-minder and apparently I forgot to take my am meds 3 times last week (I'm going to have to set up a reminder) and still felt like ****. But I'm going to stick with it for a couple of days (even if I become symptomatic) to see just how much the seroquel is contributing to my fatigue.

I'm thinking about returning to my PCP again to rule out medical causes (other than MS) if the seroquel isn't having a substantial effect on me. Maybe something is flying under the radar.

I was thinking… If this is going to be a permanent thing, I don't think it matters how long it takes me to get my license back. I can't drive like this. But it would still be nice to have it, and get the whole ordeal over with.

Yesterday I took the smaller daytime dose of seroquel for the fist time. It made zero difference. zero. I should have felt a change.

Maybe yesterday was an aberration though, and I was doomed to have a particularly bad day no matter what I did with the seroquel. I do have fluctuations so IDK.

Because of my ups and downs, I need more repetition to be sure of where the seroquel fits in. I'm going to have to go back to journaling.
