Mystic, don't you dare leave this board!!! We all have had our trying times and we are here to get support and give it when we can. You are a wonderful caring woman and everyone hear loves you including me. Don't alienate yourself from us. We'll take you up or down any time! Today I am feeling very very cranky! I have cramps, I'm bloated, I have a mole that I am obsessing over, I twitch in my eye that I am obsessing over and I am just sick of myself!!! I need to vent and that's what I am doing. And I know that everyone here understands and accepts me just like we will for you no matter how you are feeling. Noone expects you to be encouraging and upbeat when you are feeling lousy so don't feel like you have to be. Love ya, Mrs. C

Mystic, was I just too harsh?! If so I apologize. I am just really grumpy today! I will be here for you as much as I can. I gave you my phone number awhile ago. If you don't have it please let me know and I will send it again to you. I would love to talk you through Sat night if I can. Or we can go to "Open babble" and talk there. I won't be home till about 10 from the girls' recital but I don't mind staying up late with you to help you through your increase. Let me know.
I am just realizing that I should have sent this to your personal address. I hope that you read this and get back to me. Love ya. Mrs. C

Hi Mrs.C
You can call me whatever you like, I don't mind.
My email address is fknight1@hotmail.com if you or anyone ever wants to chat directly through that too. I always check my email at least once or twice a day so feel free to write...sometimes this website gets confusing to me, even though that sounds stupid but sometimes I find it hard to follow a conversation. I guess I will learn in time but it's so much easier to communicate on direct email or instant messenger.So your girls are getting ready for their dance recital - how exciting! I danced all my life and even taught for some years. I am 33 and still dance with my daughter, infact I had my tap shoes on last night and was teaching my 2 1/2 year old some new steps.
I felt a little anxious last night and I am hoping that the medication is not wearing off - I took a xanax and felt fine. I guess I am just looking for a miracle to make the anxiety disappear all together, so I will keep praying for all of us.
God Bless and keep in touch.

Hey all, and especially KathrynLex,
My p-doc suggested adding wellbutrin to the mix because I still have some irritability, sexual side effects, and problems with concentration. She's left it up to me, and I asked her for a month to think about it because it is the end of the semester, I had a sinus infection and felt bluer than usual, and my fibromyalgia was acting up. In other words, a lot going on right now. I'm not sure about this move, I feel great today, and one day in probably the next six months we'll be starting another baby. What do you know about wellbutrin and pregnancy, about potential side effect, immediate and long range results, etc? I fear I may be ADD which would explain the restlessness and inability to concentrate, and someone suggested that wellbutrin is used for ADD and for fibromyalgia. Has anyone heard any of this? And where is Lexy? Thanks and God bless,
Edna B

Lexy, good to hear from you! Sounds like you are happy and that you had a great time. I used to live in Fort Lauderdale and I know how beautiful that area is. Have fun at the beach! Mrs.C

Mystic, I am so sorry that you are having such a hard time. It is so frustrating when the meds that are supposed to be helping us let us down, and then add the unsteady hormones on top of that and it is a miracle that we are able to function at all.
Have you had your hormones checked, Mystic? I began menopause when I was around 40, myself - no fun; I thought I was losing my mind until I started hormone therapy. It is worth checking out - and don't let anyone tell you that you are too young, because I am living proof.
I don't know about you (maybe you can relate to this) but even though my first grandchild was such a beautiful blessing to me, I have to admit that along with the blessing came the added responsibility of one more person in my life to *worry* about. It is so hard to let life just unfold naturally, because if I let go then something just awful will happen - and if I worry, then I am prepared for the worst . . . no surprises.
I will pray that you will have an easy time with your increase this weekend. I have no plans, other than working around the house and yard, so I will be checking in on babble, so if you need some company I will be around, sweetie.
God bless you.

Hey Jlynne..thank you soooo much you are the best you always know just what to say and you are always there for everyone..you are truely an angel...I took the 15mgs this morning and then went to arobics so it was ok..I'm going shopping with my daughter in a little bit something I hate to do but she needs to get some clothes to fit her before she starts to think about her old ways...She has done such a great job and she has lost so much already so I dont want the eating disorder to take over which I'm confident that it wont she is soooo happy with Ryan and she knows with Nursing she has to eat right so I'm not seeing that as a problem.
Keith might have Hep A because of some food that he ate think it might have been subway so he is getting tested for that they should find out today or it could be his gallblader they are not sure so she stayed with me last night which was great...Afraid to ask if she is staying again tonight dont want to be disappointed if she isnt and it would be great because hubby is going away overnight and could use it with my increase..But we will see and I know that I have all of you and that is such a comfort...
Jlynne you should look to yourself and see what a wonderful person that you are and we are so lucky that we have you..You continue to help Sandy and you are always there for her and you still check in and give great posts when we need it..You are truely a wonderful person and I truely hope that you realize it..Thank you for everything will keep you posted during the day...Luvya Heidi

Hey, I'm up now (*smile*). I slept in today (it is 11:20 a.m. here) - - I guess I needed to catch up. Nice not to have anyone around nagging me to get out of bed:~)
Mystic, you sound a little better today, but you didn't really say(??). I am so proud of you for taking that leap and increasing the lex today.
Now, I am a little confused . . . is Keith Ryan's daddy?? and they all spent the night last night?? How nice to have them all under your wing (*BIG smile*). I love it when my kids bring their families to stay the night - - it is one time that I know they are safe and I don't have to wonder:~)
Well, I better go get something done or I'll find myself without clean clothes to wear!!
Good luck, mystic - - I will check in again later.

Hi, Mystic . . . sorry you have a headache, but thank you for being honest; I know this is no fun for you. One day when we are all in babble heaven, we will look back to see where we have been, and this will be a very small piece of our lives by then . . . but we will have each other to remind us of how bad it was and how nice that it didn't last forever.
And I am sure that they will have the best champagne in babble heaven, so we can all raise our glasses together and be thankful for the yo-yo sistahood:~)

Ah Yes Jlynne that sounds wonderful and I truely believe that is going to happen to us...we need it to happen to us...!!!!...That is why I try to stir things up sometimes in here to get everyone to keep in touch I wouldnt like it at all if we lost touch with one another just because we feel better...How is your day going?...My daughter is going home her boyfriend doesnt have hep A he has iron dificiency anemia which we will have to have the baby checked also to see if he has it as keiths father has it also so it is something with the blood will look more on the computer to get more info..
I'm feeling sad because she is leaving and scared to stay alone as my husband is gone for the night but I cant let her know that or she would stay and her place is at home..It if weird because I know that she wishes that she still lived here and that she never moved out in the first place I think that she realized that as soon as she moved out of the house..You know how they are about I'm going to make it on my own..and in some ways she is just that inocent little girl of mine and I would do anything to protect her..but she is a mother now and she has to make her own way and she will..but breaks my heart...
well my friend tell me how you are doing and I will catch up later..are you on 20 of lex or 10 hard to keep up with everyone..thanks for keeping in touch to day it means a lot to me ...Your friend Mystic

. . . want me to bring you anything?? LOL
I will be gone for a bit, but I wanted to answer your last post before I leave.
I am on 10mg lex now - I went up to 15mg but was way too tired on that dose, so I went back down. You probably won't experience the fatigue that I did at 15mg; I would think your anxiety would counteract that. But my problem being depression, it is a different experience for me.
I am feeling pretty good today; it is my *vacation* day without lex. But I still don't seem to have accomplished much today - other than my laundry. I envy you with the nice weather - I would like to be out in my yard today, but it is a little on the cool, cloudy side here. Ah, well . . . maybe tomorrow.
I'll check in when I get back from the store. Do you have a cat or a dog? My cat has saved me from being too afraid of being alone at night (weird, isn't it? . . . like she could actually *protect* me or something! LOL) I guess it's just having another living being in the house; gives me comfort, anyway.

Hey Jlynne..thanks for checking in...I was worried about everyone talking so much about fatigue...I was tired today but it was really hot out and we did shopping and that always makes me feel like poop...But with the anxiety I suspect that I wont get the fatigue...
I do have a dog he is a golden retreiver/yellow lab mix he is a great dog unfortunately he is 11 years old and their life expectancy is about 12 so dont even like to think about that...But he is with me tonight and that is good I always count on him to take care of me....But I also have mace and I take my celly to bed with me and I keep the tv on all night.hahhaha so I have enough I think..hhahah
Well I'm reading a little tonight and going to go and journal it has been a couple of days...Not good...
I will check in later..thanks for the company...Luvya Mystic

Well, I had a rather productive outing . . . I went to Radio Shack to make changes to my cell plan and ended up with nationwide calling, unlimited mobile to mobile, and a brand new FREE cell phone . . . and it is all for the same rate I was already paying! /\/\/\happy dance/\/\/\
Mystic, I am glad to hear you have your doggie with you tonight. I used to have a black lab named Jake, but you are right, they only live to be about 12yrs. He hardly ever barked, but when he did you knew it was something important, so he was a real comfort to have in the house (yes, he was an indoor dog - I am a pushover:~)
I have been considering being a foster parent for the local animal shelter after Rosie, my kitty, dies (she is 15yrs). That way I can have the company of an animal but with the understanding that I am just babysitting until they get adopted. That way I won't get attached and have to go through the pain of losing another animal. Plus, it will give the shelter room for one more animal to take in.
You are probably either in bed, or on your way now, but I will be around if you get lonely (it is only 8:45 here).
