Thanks for thinking of me, my ears are perking up

> I was thinking of you while sitting there yesterday. I honestly thought my pdoc was going to push ProvigilI will have to look this one up. At one time I started a list of meds that were listed on PB that I was going to look up, then I realized I actuallly DONOT have some symptoms that others have...so some of the meds are not really called for for me, I guess. And I ended up with a really long list. I am not ready to be a pharmasist. I leave that to Cam.
again, seems to be his flavor of the year, but I didn't care what he prescribed this time. I'm just tired. Tired of taking a lot of interest in it.I think pdocs, like every profession, go through fads.

Still on Prozac, though he mentioned for the first time, the "thought" that no AD's should be needed now. I think it's just been really recent that he's "accepted" my BP II diagnosis. He just didn't think that was it at first. I was one of the "NOS" group.What is NOS?
And I think it's BP I. I think that's my family' problem.

> You've mentioned that you don't agree that you're BPII.Well, I think I may have mentioned my pdoc is not convinced I 'have' bp2. He has talked about what is going on may be seizure related. I think from what little I have been collecting on all of this, many in the med world think there is a connection between seizure and mood, but no body really knows what is going on. They just all agree our brains don't work right.
My dad used to say, medicine knows how the brain works, but no one knows how the mind works. I think he would say now no one knows how either works.
Do you mind sharing what you think your diagnosis should be? If this is too personal, I understand - we just seemed to share some similarities...
I have been getting confused between chat and here..willow is willow, I am Mighty mouse, Kiddo is Kiddo..something, Then there is Kid in A... beegee is janelle, paxvox is of course paxvox...
Anyway, I have written up something, I would be happy to share and we can compare notes, you can email me at sicl505@hotmail.com
