So I started the new med and had a MAJOR bad reaction to it...tremmors, drooling, a fever, no sleep for days, and more.
I'm still recovering.
Just wanted to pop in so no one would worry. I'm doing ok now...preparing for Passover (LOADS of cooking and cleaning and errand running), so I'm exhausted. Resting loads in between stuff as I can.
If you e-mailed me and I haven't responded...please forgive me. I will have more time after Passover (it's a week long!).
Sending everyone my love and hoping you're all well *hugs*

Oh no! Your reaction to the new meds sounds scary. Are you still on it or did you have to switch again?
Thank you for the update! I was wondering how you were doing and thought maybe you were just busy preparing for the Passover.
Take care! *hugs*

We have to switch again. For now I'm just on Depakote. It's rough and I'm on the depressed side...no fun at all! I was PMSing and now that's getting better so hopefully my moods won't be as bad for the Holiday.
How are you doing Maria? SO good to see you here *hugs*
I love you!

Oh Sarala,
I am really sorry that you have had such a scary reaction to your new meds. I'm glad you posted as I have been a little worried. Tried not to but can't help it.
I hope you are feeling better and enjoy your holiday.
I love you sweetie,

I'm praying for you, sweetie. Thanks for poking in to let us know how you are...just wish it had been easier to adjust to this new med. Did the doctor take you off of it, or are you just handling it better?
Have a good holiday...but try not to overdo it!

I'm pretty concerned, those are some serious side effects! Are you contuining to take this med? If so, have these side effects passed?
Get well sweetie.

Ruchie, I'm so sorry to hear about your reaction to the meds! How awful. I hope you find something that works for you soon.
Were you able to have a good Passover anyway? You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.
