We are getting ready for our trip I am behind I only

bought one thing for jeff have not even wrapped it up.
I bought my sister for our 60th birthday a not quite a
diamond but very sparkly pendent on a sterling silver

chain that won't tarnish. I hope she likes it.
I need to pick out a card for her as well.
I will miss you guys for about 13 days.
love bizi

i have just been feeling so rotten-no relief.. everything feels wrong. i feel so helpless. you can't imagine bizi.

Bobby,

Hopefully things will start looking up. I am sure praying for
that to happen.

Bizi,
have a safe trip. And bring warm clothes.

Donna :grouphug::hug:

love,
bobby

Bobby, you can call 1-800-273-8255 anytime and talk to them.

thanks so very much. will try calling them now.
bobby

Bobby

Also if you think you need to go to ER after calling please do.

Love Donna:grouphug:

i am so ambivalent about life.

love,
bobby

i felt so utterly rotten that last night i couldn't find my topamax. i had called the company to see if they could tell me how to get off of it and forgot where i put it. will look today. have the worse stomach ache today from ibs-c. am trying coffee, prune june and two tablespoons of milk of magnesia. it worked yesterday.

thank God. My doctor took me off of topamax immediately

Bobby

So glad that the Doctor took you off the topamax. Please keep us
updated on how things are going. I now you have been having lots
of problems with reading, and eating both.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

Dearest Bobby,
I am so sorry you are feeling this way.Go to the hospital if you feel that you are unsafe.
just getting back on line. we were gone about 13 days too long.


love you and want you to be safe.
bizi

i still feel horrible from getting off of topamax. i might try effexor but it can cause bleeding because i take clavix too. my other wonderful doctor said i would have to watch for bleeding gums but left the call to my new pyschiatriatrist who i really like. he is soft spoken, gentle and compationate. still can't spell.
finally went after two days.relief. i have to force myself to drink a lot of water.
sorry about the spelling. stomach aches. just too much.
i am alive and pudgy is eating and not throwing up even though still not on the bed.

Bobby,

I am on Effexor XR and really like it. It has really helped my anxiety.
I also have always had a little depression because of my boy's problems
but thanks to the Effexor XR I have had a relief of it. So, I hope if you decide
to try it. That you don't have any bleeding of the gums. Also, it's possible
if you do have a little or at the beginning it will stop. So, try to work on
this by not panicking if it should start so you can work to get it to start.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

Medical community has a way of saying everything is mental/psychological. Then comes the misdiagnosis and gaslighting. Kind of a scapegoat so that Drs can move onto the next patient.

Health professionals with an integrative/holistic approach would say addressing inflammation, gut health(eating non processed foods, eating clean, exercise ect..) is the key to reversing treatable health conditions.

i have been so terrified of something being wrong with pudge for a month. i am still hyperventilating. all she did was lie on the chair and i hardly saw her eat, drink and dind't see her go..

today she jumped on the bed and let me pet her.

too soon to tell but low dose of effexor showing no signs of bleeding

Bobby

I think that you probably started worrying about something being wrong
with Pudge about the same time as the Topamax started really messing
with you. So I really wonder if you didn't see Pudge eating and drinking
was the bigger picture. I think more than watching to see her eat and
drink maybe just let her go do it when she is ready. And hopefully you
can read again soon. Please let us know you are when you do.

Also if you can't read again soon. Please try audio books even if its just
for a couple of weeks and then try reading again. Maybe it will help too.


Also what are you trying to eat now? I'm asking because I am hoping
things are helping now.

Donna :grouphug::hug:

i think pudge is okay now. love can be so painful. i had some zucchini, soup and coffee. ibs-c is a nightmare.
love,
bobby

i hate to say it but yesteray i also eat a lot of corn chips. no problem so weird,

I'm glad the corn chips didn't cause problems. I think you need to
eat what is not causing problems and just watch what is.

I think Pudge is good too.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

so horrible. i am off of topamax and couldn't remember my phone number. i wonder how long it will continue to effect my memory.

Bobby,

I don't know but its not been quite a week that you have been off right.
So maybe write down your number and a few other things that you
really need to make sure you can remember. And keep it on something
you can put were you can remember.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

good idea donna!:Good-Post:
bizi

i can remember it now. same with doorman. i don't kmow what is next and how long it will last. practically all my numbers are on my computer or a notepad. i never thought i needed to write my phone number.
love,
bobby

glad that you have a list. mine are all in my phone. I don't even remember my hubbies phone number.
bizi

Heehee, I try to remember lots of numbers. My husband and now Derrick's
are easy. Since we are in a row.

My husband, me, and Derrick.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

Bobby, I think it will get better as time goes by.

Donna

i slept so much today. didn't go yesterday or today. here is hoping. met the rabbi intern in person. he is cute, sharp and has a phony tail. he is 47.
love,
bobby
great about the phone.

severely depressed and physically feel so rotten. after two days went a bit. too much to handle. just feel hopeless.

I rely on the exlax pills I take one or two and they workbut I pass lake lumps of stool and it still hurts. I did not drink that much water yesterday I did not bring enough bottled water.
I hope today is better for you.
love bizi

I have no ideas for either of you on the problems of not going.

My ideas are only that you need water, and to eat. If you don't eat you can't
go. Honestly the reason I know this is if I don't eat. I don't go period.

So I make sure I eat. And I also make sure I eat a little each day of things
that will make me go more.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

I did go today a large one cleaned me out I will only take 1,25mg of senna.I had taken 2- 2 days in a row.Thank goodness there is exlax. I need to see a new doctor for me a gastro doctor. I had an appointment and canceled it was right before we left for indiana. too much pressure.
bizi
I am sorry you are not feeling well bobby.:(

t think the topamax is wearing off. it was awful feeling weak and not remembering my number.. i just have to keep on reminding myself it will get better.

i am going to try castor oil. fingers crossed.

Bizi

Good luck with the new doctor let us know how it goes.

Bobby,

I think you were having lots of problems with not only memory.
but other things with your issues with the Topamax.

Donna

definitely-extremely weak, inability to concentrate ick

topamax is know for its cognitive involvement.

I know it has been a good med for donna.
I am very sorry that it has affected you so badly.
