I'm gonna cry .. a good cry!
It did feel like you all just zoomed in from different corners of the earth!
How did you all find me?? (Is there some networking going on behind the scenes here? Hmmm.)
:) cf
Yes I do feel physically horrible, but I feel mentally 'happy' thanks to all your reminders and blk&white truths that had all just turned to gray. I did sort of run to the computer.
I apologize for my language. Think I left a letter in where there should have been a *. Or maybe that was the least of your concerns Dr. Bob?

All ..
I'm having bad side effects w/ this 5mg Abilify. I ache all over and have a fever. My eyes are burning and sore. My hands are so swollen that I'm fearing I'll need to cut a ring off one finger.
I don't feel stoned, no involuntary movements, no hangover, or anything really 'off the wall'.
Just feel like have a really bad case of the flu and want to just lie down and close my eyes.
I had this same 'eye thing' when I tried Trileptal. I noticed a bit of a headache midday today. I had HAs all the time when tried Lamictal. Seroquel left me 'way hung over'. I believe these are all in class w/ Abilify. Nurse from the nurse's line mentioned Geodon(sp?) was in the class. I've a couple friends that did not do well at all on that.
Anyway, this nurse's line (the best thing I've found out here) is 24-hrs and I'm to call if develop hives, rapid heart beat, higher fever, or increased anxiety.
Called for my P and gave info, and another P apparently said to take half of the 5mg until mid April when I see my P again. Ps weren't concerned at all about these side effects??!!
I took it at hour of sleep and I awoke around 5a! I don't need to wake that early! I have a hard time becoming comfortable (back injury) and falling asleep; usually don't until 12a or so. I should sleep until at least 8a.
Maybe I should take the half now, or maybe I won't take it at all.
I have an appt across the metro tomorrow and need to feel well enough to get there!
Now I remember how difficult it was to try different meds while I was still working.
All of you that I am so thankful for, pls forgive me if I don't reply to messages this eve'. Feel awful 'funky'.
Because of you all, I am 'thinking there is hope' tonight, even tho' I feel like 'poop'. (Did I really say poop?)
Tks you all.
I may have been somewhat out of line last eve. I know I cursed and tried to use a * for a letter and was typing so fast that I did spell out the entire word.
I guess I have to say I'm thankful that the 'computer age' is here; an odd thing to say for an ole' hippie like me! (No, I'm not old(?), and don't have long grey hair and a 'cool' cane!)
lovecf
