SNAKE IS ALIVE!!!!!
What a load off of your mind!!
The 'lil guy could probally get away with almost anything about now, hey? lol
I know the relief you are talking about...
...I've spent many dark nights "searching" for my little dog...
convinced she had been stolen or worse... eeek
only to find her hours later in someones yard sniffing around.
I was always just so happy/relieved to see her, that I couldn't be pissed at her for breaking out of the yard.
Go hug the sh*t off of him, lol, with all the med changes you've put up with.. you definatly deserve it.

Your have to be really strong to go through the med changes,
and I know from reading your posts... you are strong enough!
and you've got a great support system backing you!

Wow, k, while I was typing that above part about meds...
I realized that I hadn't taken my meds yet...
looked at my week pill casing and saw that I had neglected to fill it up for this week.
So... I knew I had to run upstairs to get the pills... open each damn pill container... and get out my morning "pill cocktail"...

...then I realized the time... OMG... it's 6 hours past med time....
now I notice that my hands/fingers are shaking...
of course, all of a sudden... I'm burning up and (gross!) sweating...
... great... anxiety attack....

So I finally got myself up... ran upstairs...
desperatly rummaged in my messy drawer for what seemed like hours... until I found the seroquel... took that before I even continued to dig for the other meds.
Hell, I didn't even wait for a drink of water..

Veiled... you are doing wicked... that's I'll I've got to say.
I'm sure you'll be hearing from me when it's time for me to start taking myself off them, or a med change.

You are not alone in being frusterated about side effects
and just remember not to be too hard on yourself... your bodys not against you... it just needs time to adjust

Well, other than the mini attack (described above) and 2 other vehicle related bad panic attacks... my day hasn't been tooo terrible.
Fortuntaly I've managed to keep my general mood (towards others in my home) pleasent and calm.

Appointment with surgeon is in 7 days... sh*t
(had to type that... it's been floating in my mind all day)
