I understand not wanting to make the change because you have been with her so long, but she sucks. She's judgmental, unapproachable, and she has been ineffective in getting your BP under proper control. I hope that when your new insurance kicks in there will be more options available to you

we have decided to go with the old insurance and save the extra $350 a month in a savings account to use if we need it, more than enough to cover our deductible. I called and talked to jeff and he will set it up that the extra $350 goes into our health savings account so the monies are there and are pretaxed, and dedicated toward medical bills. We would still have access to the money if we really need it. With his old plan the university matches monies $775 dollars each year to help pay for the deductible which is a very nice benefit. I realize we are taking a risk about our health but are both healthy enough, overweight but healthy.
The lithium orotate should be in this week. bizi

I've had trouble understanding the in's and out's of your insurance plans… you don't have to explain because I still won't understand. I'm glad that you have decided on a plan that will work well for you.
I hope that the lithium orotate will work out for you. Have you found a source that explains the dosing? |

sorry about my insurance plans....
what we decided to do was go back to our original plan. lesser premium $200 a month but a high deductible $4K. We will put the extra $350 a month that we would have spent on the higher premium into our health savings account, monies that we have access to that are pretaxed so monies that we don't claim/taxed as income so that is a savings. anyway. We figured that we would rather have access to those monies then just lose them to the higher premium. All visits/ therapy would have to be paid out of the deductible so this makes us think twice about going to the doctor or therapist. bizi

2nd alcohol free day in 3 days!
I think the lithium must have something to do with this. I chose to drink yesterday... I chose to not drink today! did not sleep well last night due to over indulging, food and wine. tonight will be the first time that I will take amino acids to help with my sleeping issues. I took my evening meds right after dinner with a lot of water. my AA are supposed to be taken on an empty stomach so very little water when I take them at bed time with my klonipin. The first day that I will have timed everything right and this is only because I am not drinking tonight. Going to see how this goes. bizi

yes I hope they improve my sleep.
Last nite was the same, waking up at 3am, then 4 then 5 finally getting up at 730, feeling groggy. In addition to my regular psych meds, I Took some natural supplements, amino acids to see if I could sleep better last night. Really did not help. Slept poorly. Maybe I can not take them on an as needed basis, rather they need to be built up and it might take a while to work? Ordered some books about them so am anxious to read up on them. One book is called the mood cure and the other is called the diet cure by Julia Ross. bizi

I know you dot want to go to your pdoc, but your pharmacist or PCP may be able to tell you if there is an interaction between the amino acids and the lithium (since you just started taking it), or other meds you take.
I hope that the books help. They sound interesting. The whole theory is interesting. |
