A good day today

Good evening everybody.

I had a pretty good day today.  My son called and wanted to come over and spend a few days so I went and picked him up. He's a little goofy and we've had a few good laughs already, but I'm sure by the time Sunday morning rolls around, I'll be ready for him to go home!  LOL!

I was finally able to start my new medication for the ADD and am already noticing a difference in my motivation level which is a major challenge I face every day.  This is also the first day in weeks that I haven't had to take a nap. I'm a little tired but certainly not exhausted like I normally am.  One of the side effects of this drug is loss of appetite so that was a plus I will take!  But I know it also means that I am going to have to be much more diligent about my supplements and protein.  I ordered a 3 month supply of supplements that arrived this morning.  I am going to use the chewables in the morning and the new, swallowable (is that even a word?) at night until the chewables are gone. I have gagged and/or vomitted them up on more than one occasion. 

I went out on a limb and ordered some new clothes on the internet this morning.  I may have been a little over optimistic on some of the sizes but I will get into them eventually.  They are mostly for working out in and I also got a new bathing suit.  After the fiasco at the gym the other day I think I am going to stick with water aerobics until I can some answers from the doctors.  The one time I went to the water aerobics class I had no dizziness at all.  It must be something to do with the buoyancy of the water or something.

My son was just kind enough to point out to me that my hair is thinning.  I just started using Nixium and I'm hoping that it will help.

Anyway, that's my rambling for today.  I guess I should probably put most of the stuff in a blog, but it helps me to feel more connected to people if I write into the group.  I hope you are all having a pleasant evening.

You sound so much better and at ease tonight..thinning hair and all.  (((just teasing.. sorry))). Another thing that helps with the hair is biotin. Glad you are enjoying your visit with your son. it is great to have our kids around.. for a while..lol. It is also nice to get the place back to ourselves after a while.

Are you geting in that extra Vit b your are low on? I hope so.. that may have much to do with the dizziness..that and iron. Wishing you well on getting those level up quickly and feeling much better! Glad you got to start your new med today and that it is already helping you feel better. Wish my Psych Doc would treat me for ADD I think sometimes my lack of ability to focus stems from that, but he says that it comes with depression. But even when i am not feeling depressed I still have a hard time focusing and getting motivated for things. Oh well.. he's the doc I guess.

So good to hear you sounding more up. Sleep well! I'm off to bed now! nite nite!
Have a wonderful day tomorrow!

I am glad that you post here Colleen, I do not go to everyone's page to read daily thoughts but do appear here daily.  You sound like you feel better, keep up the great work.  Hope the rest resolves quickly.  Hugs
